George II. Roberts, the British Food

mania Is starving, that Serbia is starv-
Ing. that Austria Is starving and that
Germany Is starving he said. Ever
since the armistice was signed the Allies
have been doing what they could to re-
lieve the situation and food should be
or is being sent to all the countries I
have named But It is not enough. and
the question now arises whether we
shall be able to get sufficient food to
those countries in time to prevent a
cata strophe.

selves to the full. Thatis not the spirit
OF this nation, which, Through its I'M

to help, and II helping means that the
