that all the nations should share
and share alike.
The people who oppose Mr.. La
Guardia are many. mainly be-
cause Mr.. LaGuardia has a plan
which will make it impossible
for selfish interests to profit in
ordinarily. He wants the United
Nations food relief fund to con-
sist of supplies and money worth
400 million dollars, with each
country making a proporionate
contribution. He is concerned
with the fact that the nations of
the world should be enabled to
buy this food from the new in
ternational organization.
g = 4
THE difficulty, of course, is
the simple fact that Poland, for
instance, which can export coal to
Italy, can buy nothing with Ital-
ian Ira, while Italy, which can
send citrus fruit to Poland, can
buy nothing with Polish zlotys.
This is due to the fact that only
dollars and pound sterling can
buy anything In the world today.
This is what the rest of the world
means when 1t talks about dollar
imperialism.

Food versus politics

what must be done in the future
if disaster is not to overtake two
thirds of the inhabitants of the
globe.
What must be done is very SIM
pie indeed. There must be eStab-
lished by the United Nations Gen
eral Assembly a United Nations
Emergency Food Fund to meet
the food requirements of coun-
tries in 1947 which are unable to
finance their essential needs.
MIR. LA GUARDIA is the pro-
tagonist of the idea that this
should be done by an internation-
al agency in which all the nations
of the world participate. A ma
jority of the members of the Unit.
ed Nations are in favor of the
creation of such an international
agency when UNRRA ends on
December 31st of this year.
Some of them, however, do not
dare to say so because of the
pressures put upon them by the
State Department.

the story of what UNRRA has
done in the past to rehabilitate
a starving world, but also of
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-11-23

The State Department opposes
Mr.. LaGuardia's plan because it
wants to use food as a political
weapon. Mr.. LaGuardia wants to
use food in order to feed chill
dren. Those are the two concep-
tons which underlie the struggle
now going on in the United Ma
tons and which will also be de-
bated in the General Assembly.
THE State Department is de
termined to make the hunger of
other nations an instrument Of
American foreign policy. Mr.. La
Guardia wants to feed hungry
people regardless of race, creed,
color or political belief.
He is of the opinion that the
bread thus cast upon the waters
by an international organization
shall be found after many days.
He is of the opinion that such
bread cast upon the waters
should not be cast into Republi-
can. Democratic, Socialist, Royal

The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-11-23

Now the State Department
takes the view that the United
States should not take part in an
international organization where
the nations of the world will be
enabled to buy food regardless of
who they are and what political
set-up they live under. The Unit
ed States wants to go ii alone
and turn the faucet off and on
as it pleases and in direct sup

Lines have already been lightly,
drawn as a result of this U. S.
unilateral decision, with the
smaller and weaker nations sid
ing with the Soviet Union against
America and Great Britain, which
feels much the same way about
Palestine.
The issue involves basically the
function and future of the trus-
teeship council which is still in
the paper stage. The Anglo-Amer-
lean attitude is blamed for failure
to get this agency functioning.

such conditions would be mainly
for the record. If this plan is
rejected by UN, John Foster Dull
les of the American delegation
has indicated that the govern
ment will merely maintain its de
facto control of these Islands.
Apparently taking a tip from
the u. S. attitude, Premier SHUTS
of South Africa said his country
stood ready to take over South
west Africa if the UN refused to
sanction annexation. However,
Dulles surprised SHUTS by say
ing America was opposed to the
South African plan.
These are conditions under
which the U. S. would consent to
UN trusteeship:
Sole administrative authority
vested in America. Aircraft and
shipping of other nations can be
barred.
Exclusive control by the U. S.
of certain economic privileges.
Terms of the agreement could
not be altered except by explicit
American consent.
An outspoken critic of this uni
lateral action has been the Chi
nese delegate who called it the
spoils system. He pointed out
that many peoples had placed
high hopes in trusteeships as
helping backward peoples of the
world to self government.
