By Walter T. Ridder and

North American Newspaper Alliance
The recent precipitous actions of
the White House and the Agricul-
ture Department in the matter of
European food relief gave the i'm
preston that Europe's desperate
need for food came as a surprise
to the American Government.
In reality. President Truman and
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
were belatedly putting into effect
recommendations made almost a
year ago. The Government knew
then, it knew after We day, it
knew after VI day, and it knew
during the past fall that the specter
Of famine hung threateningly over
Europe. Food shortages in all
European countries, liberated and
defeated, had been constantly re-
ported for we'll over year. If the
administration didn't believe news
reports then, at least 1t had the
report of special presidential in
vestigataor to guide 1t in formu-
lating plans to help Europeans.
On January 20, 1915, the late
President Roosevelt appointed Judge
Samuel I. Rosenman as his per-
sonal representative. with the rank
of minister, to study the civilian
requirements Tor liberated portions
of Europe. Judge Rosenman I'M
dertook the mission in the winter
and spring of 1945. His report to
the President was made on April
rs, l945, and published as docu-
ment in September, 1945.
Excerpts from Report.
The following excerpts from the
Rosenman report show the judge
was fully aware of what the United
States would be called upon to do.
Without taking into consideration
what our responsibilities toward
Germany might be, the judge ar
rived at these conclusions:
"A dangerously low level of nutri-
ton exists generally in these liber-
ated countries except in rural, food
raising areas.
From the point Of view Of our
own United States economy, It is
obvious that unless northwest Eu-
rope again resumes its place in the
international exchange of goods and
services, the American economy will
be deeply affected. Furthermore.
chaotic and hungry Europe Is not
fertile ground in which stable, demo-

and Canada are fully prepared to
make necessary sacrifices to prevent
widespread starvation in the coun-
tries liberated from Nazi domina-
ton"
At all times during the past year,
administration officials have been
fully aware Of Europe's deteriorating
food situation and of the United
States consequent responsibilities
1t was not, however, until February,
1915, that the Government took de-
cisive steps to meet those moral
obligations. Now, with the advent
Of Truman bread" the appoint
ment Of former President Herbert
Hoover to head q relief committee
and the establishment Of a publicity
committee to convince Americans
they should cut down on their own
consumption the Government has
hastily set about to put into effect
recommendations made almost a
year ago.

Food Board Proposes
That UNRRA Request
Reds 10 Share Grain
BY the Assoeioisd Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Mar 10
The Soviet Union will be asked to
share its cereals with its neighbors
if the UNRRA session here follows
the recommendations made today
by the combined food board-made
up Of the United States, the United
Kingdom and Canada.
The projected request to Russia
was made known by the board in
report on world food supplies pre-
scented to the UNRRA session.
Up to the present Russia has been
on the receiving rather than the
giving end Of UNRRA aid because 1t
was invaded, but a recent story-so
far unsubstantiated by any reports
to governments, or to UNRRA-said
Russia was prepared to sell several
hundred thousand tons Of wheat to
France.
Implication in Story.
The worlds food experts are now
engaged in search for cereals and
the implication in the story that
Russia has cereal supplies she does
not need led to the recommendation
that the Soviet Union be asked to
share her supplies.
The board. through informal talks,
has been attempting to portion out
world food supplies with ALLEGATIONS
based primarily on cereal shipments
from the United States, Canada,
Australia, the Argentine and Brazil.
It is known that Russia already
has given aid to her neighbors.
Czechoslovakian delegates here say
their nation received some 10000
tons Of wheat from the U. S. S. R.
last month.
The combined food boards re-
port on food supplies said the world
is apparently short some 5000, 900
tons Of cereals through June-or,
that available supplies are only
about go per cent of the worlds
needs, even at reduced rations.
Other Recommendations.
Other recommendations in the
report call for nations with food
supplies to rush them to ports for
shipment, cut their use for feed
to livestock and for industrial pur-
poses, and expand acreage.
Soviet delegates at the session
here have announced that they
will continue their protests over
UNRRA's aid to refugees in West
ern Europe who are reluctant to
return to their homes in Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and the
U. s. 8. r.
In a brief organizational session
today, UNRRA approved the dele
cations from 43 nations. Four,
which are members, have no dele
gates here-Chile, Ecuador, Irau
and Paraguay. The session also
granted Italy the right to have
observers here.

Europe's Food Needs Known !
In u. S. Year Ago, Writers Say

cratic, ana friendly governments car
be reared.
"Just as the United States has
been the largest producer OF the
United Nations in wartime, SO will
it be looked to as the principal source
of civilian supplies for these coun.
tries. Any realistic appraisal OF
the situation would indicate that the
responsibility for providing a SUBJ
stantial share of most civilian sup
plies will rest on the United States
Since ALLEGATION Of civilian sup
plies to liberated countries in all
probability will cut into the ration
of the American consumer, a wide
spread official and public campaign
should be undertaken to inform the
American people Of the gravity OF
the needs Of our Allies in liberated
Europe.
Action Only Now Being Taken.
The publicity committee recon-
mended by Judge Rosenman is only
now being organized here.
The Rosenman report was in the
hands of President Truman before
We day. It was sent for study to
the House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee. AS late as September 10. 1945,
Leo T. Crowley, head of the Foreign
Economic Administration, called 1t
"a clear and accurate picture of con-
ditions in northwest Europe"
With the Rosenman report on file
with a full knowledge Of the Europ-
can food situation to be cleaned
from representatives Of interested
countries, UNRRA, the Army, and
newspaper reports, the Government
proceeded, Immediately after VI
day, on the assumption that Amer
lean agriculture could easily supply
the demands made on it. Again as
late as December, 1945, the Agricul-
ture Department painted rosy pic
lures of the American consumer get
ting all he needed or wanted in the
way Of food supplies, although Eu-
ropean conditions were known not
to be getting any better.
Swayed by Public ClamOr.
Fundamentally, the desire Of the
Government and the American
people to lay aside the restraints Of
war and return to the ways Of peace
is responsible for the emergency
action now being taken. Fearful Of
being accused of wanting to prolong
war agencies in order to solve do
mestic problems, the administration
was unwilling to take steps which
might have allowed a less hectic
method of dealing with foreign food
relief.
Careful planning, stockpiling and
preparation could have been accom-
plished in the fall and winter Of
last year. but 1t would have entailed
cutting into the consumption Of the
American eater, probably through
continuation Of food rationing. Par
tisan politics and the public clamor
for return to a peacetime basis made
the administration hesitant to follow
such a drastic course, although
public opinion polls showed Ameri-
cans perfectly willing to send their
rations abroad.
In a food report dated April 80,
1945, issued by the Interagency Com
mittee on Foreign Shipments, ap-
pointed by James F. Byrnes. then
director of war mobilization and re-
conversion, Mr.. Crowley said: 1T
was agreed that the people of the
