Europe Must Be Fed

Few people outside of Europe realize how acute is that continents
need of additional food supplies from abroad. In the war years Europes
total food production had declined about 10 per cent. She had also been
cut off from imports, which supplied another 10 per cent of her food
requirements
using the feed as human food. But at the most this reduced the deficit
only a few per cent.
The net loss has probably amounted to II per cent or more, and
this at a time when requirements were increased by the extra war
effort, overtime work, and so on.
This deficit would have been bearable, though uncomfortable, if it
had been evenly distributed.
But it has not been. In Greece there was famine in many areas
The food distribution in many Belgian cities was extremely bad. The
lowest income groups in the French cities were undernourished for
four years and some of them actually starved. tf
In Rome is recently as last summer the infant mortality rate was
to die within a year of its birth. The situation in Poland, Yugoslavia
and many other parts of central and eastern Europe is probably no
better, if it is not worse. There is also a acute shortage of food in
Russia.
These facts are taken from a article by w. Jasny in the New
Leader. M. Jasny concludes his survey by saying that very large guam
titles OF food will be required and a great effort will have to be made
Immediately if Europe's food neds re to be met.
But there is still another point he might have made, and that is
that the problem is not merely a humanitarian one, though humani-
tartan reasons alone require that it should be solved, but it is also a
diplomatic and political question of the greatest urgency to the Western
democracies.
AS the crisis in Belgium shows, it is not enough to liberate the
peoples of Europe-their acute human needs must also be met.
If they are not met efficiently and quickly, the result may be a rush
into extremism and the end of political democracy as we know it. =
