Received Sunday, 7 p.m. GENEVA, August 9. Britain announced at the meeting of the Unrra Council that it fully associated .itsfelf with the American attitude that the time had come to end Unrra assistance to European countries. The British delegate, Major Younger, M.P., deputisihg for Mr. Noel-Baker, said he agreed that the need for assistance would ctmtinue, hut he doubted whether the aid necessary was within the seope of Unrra. There was no dotibt that the European countries during the year had made great progress. Major Younger said that Unrra aid
was not a normal item of national economy; and that the sooner ecbnomies were adapted to do without aid the better. "We in Britain feel very strongly because we, too, throughout the jyar suffered Very great destructiOn and dislocation of our trade and economy," he added. A proposal that the future of Unrra shipments to Europe should he placed before United Nations General Asseinbly, was made hy Mr. Tyler Wood (United States) at a meeting of Unrra General Council. Mr. Pozharsky (Russia) said he believed Unrra itself should eontimid to exist if there was an agreement on the
continued need for relief shipments.
