World's Food Outlook is Brighter
Received Tuesday, 7 p.m. WASHINGTUN, April 5. The International hmergenuy Food Committee reported today that the worst edge had been laken off the anticipated world food crisis of 1947-48 and also that for the first tinie since the war, it was possible to express cautious optimism aboufc future prospects for food grains. The report, which was presented to the Tood and Agricultural Organisation Council now meeting at Washington, gives an imusually mild winter in Europe, a record harvest in Australia and the doubling of the monthly grain exports from Argentina as reasons for the improvement. The report also points out that promised cereal exports from Russia are now coming forward. A warning, however, is given that even under most favourable conditions, the per capita food prodnctions of 1948-49 will not recover to prewar levels. There is little doubt that the need for careful international as well as national - management of cereals will continue i-n-fhe coming year.
