Specter of Starvation Threatens Over Billion

WASHINGTON - Nearly a
billion people - 90 million in
Europe and ten times that num-
Der in China, India, and other
places in the world - face star
vation this winter.
That is the grim reality re-
ported by food experts of the
State and Agriculture Depart

Relief and Rehabilitation Ad-
ministration.
This picture, reported by
spokesmen for Greece, is typi-
cal of the grave world food sit
uation:
The Pappas family lives in a
fairly large city near Athens.
Mrs. Pappas has teen-aged son
and daughter. Her husband is a
day laborer. Marketing is her
days biggest chore. 1t varies a
little. Some days Mrs. Pappas
gets more, but usually she can
buy about . half pound of bread
for each mouth a day.
Most of the time she can get
three ounces of dried peas or
beans for each person, maybe
one Goldfish for all to share, a
tiny bit of olive oil and hand
full of raisins. She can usually
get potatoes, too. They are ra-
toned.
UNRRA HELPS
It's a celebration when she
gets a can of American Army
meat stew. This happens about
once a month after a shipment
from UNRRA has arrived at the
market.
Mrs. Pappas is too tired to
worry about the strange things
that are happening in her fam
lily. She doesn't understand that
the diet of about 1400 calories
a day for each member is re-
sponsible. It's the reason her
husband only goes to work about

Returning soldiers must take

specialist.
Mrs. Marion Mcdowell says

explained. 1T takes awhile for
some children to grow accustom-

Mrs. Mcdowell believes the
best way is for the father to gain
gradually the confidence and
affection of his offspring, by
participating with them in
household activities, playing
games and taking walks.
Mothers can do much to ease
the situation by building up the

CHINA - Weak from hunger,

that as soon as winter sets in
food will be even harder to get.
FOOD SUPPLIES VARY
Food supplies in Europe vary
within and between countries.
Greece and Italy are about av-
erage. Poland, Yugoslavia, Aus
tria, Germany and Finland have
less. Austria is believed to be
in the worst shape. People in
France and Czechoslovakia get
a little more than the Greeks.
Norway's condition is not criti-
cal.
Most people who live on farms
get at least enough food to
maintain health. Persons in the
small urban communities are the
most hungry. They don't produce
food and can't draw from the
stocks sent to the big cities. They
haven't the money or goods to
get food directly from the farm
ers.
Little is known about the food
supply in Russia except that it is
inadequate, but better than it
was in the war years.
Chinese mothers aren't worry
ing about getting enough rice,
wheat or dried fish merely to
stave off hunger. Their families
have been hungry for the last
10 years. This year they are
worrying about which ones in
the family will be dead by spring
or if they will all be dead. Same
is true in ndia. Average diet in
these two countries varies from
1000 to less than 1000 calories
per day.
In most of Europe, parts OF
the Near East, all Of the Far
East and in North Africa, coun-
tries desperately need imports
Of food. Most countries in South
America will be able to- gel
along without threat Of starva-
ton. England and Australia need
food but expect to get along on
rationing through the winter.

Chinese racial retrosression,
