THE WORLD’S FOOD
NUTRITION PROBLEM DISCUSSIONS AT GENEVA. press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright GENEVA, October 1. The Second Committee resumed its discussion on nutrition. Sir James Parr declared that the most satisfactory way to attack the problem was along the line of increasing purchasing power. New Zealand had restored _ wages to the pre-depres-Biou level while reducing hours. Food, however, was still too dear owing to inefficient distribution and. too many middlemen handling Dominion produce. For instance, New Zealand apples costing 8d a lb in Europe brought the grower only Id a lb. The League’s valuable work on nutrition should not bo used as an excuse for individual Governments delaying action. It was gratifying to find that a number of Governments had already realised their obligations.
