A WORLD IN NEED
F a poor man came to you and asked for bread, would you give him a stone? If a poor nation knocks at our door and asks for help, for food, for clothing, for aid in producing these things for itself, what is the difference? When a band of countries right around the world is sick with poverty, what right have we to refuse help-we, the Anglo-Saxon nations, who account for 10 per cent. of its world’s population and swallow up 60 per cent. of its goods? From YA and YZ stations a CORSO appeal talk will be heard at 6.40 p.m: on Wednesday, March 30. From the ZBs, 2ZA and 1XH on March 23 and 30, talks will be given between 2.30 and 3.30 by speakers who include Sir Edmund Hillary, Col.
