SHORTAGE OF FOOD
ASSISTANCE TO EUROPE GREAT CARE IN AMERICA STARVATION IN SPAIN (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received March 15, 3.15 p.m.) WASHINGTON, March 14 An indication that the Administration intends to proceed cautiously on supplying food to European unoccupied countries came from Mr Roosevelt today, when he stated that if food were provided from this country there should be a certainty that none would go outside the nation that was helped. Asked at the press conference whether he had any observations on sending food to France, the President said he had one suggestion. People should be fairly clear in their facts on the food situation in Europe before reaching conclusions. “There is not much question,” Mr Roosevelt added, “that the actual lack of foods to keep body and soul together is greatest in Spain. That raises the question about the certainty that none of the food that might be sent over should go outside a particular place.”
