They Starve, We Clut !.

In discussing the famine situation, Americans likely to
think of Europe only But another nation facing starvation
has not recovered from the famine of 1943
According to Pearl Buck chairman of the India Famine
Emergency committee, India is asking for two million tons
of food grains from July to December She will for
thing she gets
Drouhs, cyclone tidal and failure of the
of India reduced the 1915 crop famine
portions
And today the food figures stand as follows
The a-India capita consumption for the nonarming
population (132 milon) is $50 calories daily
The andia capita consumption for the farming
uation $3.50 mon) 1850 calore daily including cattle
feed Cattle get about 100 Galleries day. human consump
ton is 1850
Undernourishment begins from 1000 calories
Manuron leading to predispostion to disease begins at
1000 calories
Death from starvation results at 800 caories.
(The United States 3,400 caories per capita
daily)
Unless supplies sent to India officially estimated
that 10 to 20 million will starve to death this year
Pretty figures? You answer that

Volga valley and breakdown of trans

1920 and conveniently moves it ahead
to 1880 blaming it on the extermina-
