 Speaking over the Sub radio pro- gram last Wednesday, Professors Hartley Cross and Leslie Beebe of Connecticut College, gave the ra- dio audience the low-doWn on the food situation in Europe and what we can do about 1t. MT. Cross and MT. Beebe said bluntly that we must face the facts. Europe is starving and we are one of the few countries rich enough to do some thing about it. Both pointed out that it was to our own interests to do so because Europe's security spells our own. MT. Cross and MT. Beebe urged strong support for the United Nations Relief and Rehabil- itation Committee setup to supply relief to War-Stricken Europe and thought the committee should be allotted more funds to work with. They also urged all local citizens to contribute to the United Nations Clothing Drive. Both pointed out that without our help Europe can- not get back on it's feet. The goods that we would send over would also result in little sacrifice for Amer jeans. MT. Cross and MT. Beebe who are both economists are well equipped to discuss this problem. They did so after thorough re- search and with all the facts and figures Both are strong interna- tionalists and advocates of world security.
