There 10 a hidden threat In the
world food shortage which is mis-.
leading q good many folk in the
western hemisphere as they en-
devor to estimate the dangers In
volyed.
We know that thousands are dy-
ing In the Orient from hunger.
This is concrete evidence and
leaves no doubt about the gravity
OF the position In that part OF the
globe. But the fact that there hasn't
been mass starvation In Europe
yet Is having a tendency to give
the impression that, after all, the
situation there isn't desperate.
Well, we shouldn't let this fool
us. Having just returned from
several months tour OF Europe,
there's no question In my mind
about the threat OF the all.but-emp-
ty grain bins in many areas. Direc-
tor LaGuardia OF the UNRRA says
200. 100000 people face starvation
In Europe alone.
What we have TO recognize is
that starvation is cumulative. Folks
don't die OF hunger in day. My
old friend Mahatma Gandhi has
staged many hunger-strikes, one of
which ran three weeks, and he
still is doing business at the old
stand. And the process of starva-
ton is much slower II even small
amount OF nourishment is avail
able.
That's what is happening In some
parts Of Europe. People are exist
ing on the resistance they piled
UP In easier times-like hibernat'
ing woodchucks living on their
fat. But daily that resistance
is decreasing and moving more RAP
idly towards the point OF death by
starvation.
Actually of course. there have
been innumerable deaths already
due directly or indirectly to malnu-
triton. And Mr.. LaGuardia tells us
that unless We can ship large sup.
plies of wheat for delivery this
month In Europe. there will be
masss starvation deaths In Poland.

Franco Likely to
Provide Crisis in
UN Deliberations

II looks very much as though the
status OF the Franco government
in Spain may provide another early
crisis with which the United Ma
tons Security Council will have to
struggle.
This is a delicate and vastly i'm
portant situation and one which In
wolves a further divergence of view
among the Big Three-Russia on
the one side and the Western Allies
on the other.
Pressure for action against Cen
eralissimo Franco is developing
from eastern Europe in support OF
Russia and France, who insist that
his regime Is a menace to interna-
tional peace. The United States
and Britain, while turning thumbs
down on the Falangist government.
don't subscribe to the thesis that 1t
threatens peace.
The latest development Is Po-
lands decision TO sever diplomatic
relations with Spain. Rumania al
ready had made that move. From
the Polish embassy in London also
came the statement that Poland
would raise the matter in the Sc
curity Council and call on the other
United Nations TO break relations
with Madrid.
This Spanish issue poses three
far.reaching questions for the Sc.
curity Council to answer-ques-
lions which will be fundamental in
determining the long-range policy
OF the United Nations. These are:
/. Does Frances Fascist govern
mentor any similar regime repre-
sent a menace to international
peace.
2. II the Franco regime is a
menace TO peace. what action shall
be taken by the United Nations
8. II II isn't inimical to peace

go in debating what form OF gov
eminent Spain-or any other coun
try-shall or shall not have.

Tho new arrangement (permit-

graph office where the copy is re-
ceived. No other censorship chang

In other words. American read.
ers OF newspapers for period did
not know whether the news from
Russia was written by American
correspondents stationed there or
by the Russian propaganda office.
They did not know whether the
American names signed TO those
dispatches were their authors in
full or in part or at all. They did
not know whether the dispatches
were doctored and whether opin.
ions expressed were those OF the
writer's, or injected into copy by
censors. Personally, | would de-
cline to work under such condi-
lions. would resign and notify
the public OF the reasons. But
that is a matter OF taste.
I suggest vigorously that II Is
the obligation Of the press asso-
Citations and OF all newspapers to
notify their readers in a conspicu-
Gus manner. so that there can be
no doubt whatsoever, which dis.
patches are censored. The Ameri-
can people ought at all times to
know what is and what Is not like
ly to be the truth. Nothing can be
regarded as truth which is issued
by government for political purpos-
es except documents so labeled.
And II is OF the utmost import
ance that the radio commentators
announce when they are censor
ed and when their announcements
are doctored. They, particularly
those speaking from abroad, give
impression OF spontaneity and
freedom-probably because they
talk so fast and so loud. Actually.
they are censored all the time. They
say only what they are permitted
TO say In most countries. They are
required to submit their reports,
the same as reporters who tele-
graph or telephone them. In the
United States. they read censored
reports from abroad. Let the ra-
do become truthful. let It an
nounce:

McGlook in Warsaw who is only
