ing held in Washington, D. c., May

gress of the U.S.A. to give imme-
date consideration to the Bill
which would make available to the
starving people of India the desired
100000 tons of grain. The Fra
ternity further urges upon the
Congress that this action, if taken
without further delay, would con-
stitute a major victory in the fight
against the predatory forces of
Soviet Communism. Food to India
is more than a humanitarian GEES

self-interest in a world where the
forces of totalitarianism are con-
shutting a major danger to demo-
cratic ideals. Our nation has as
sumed leadership in such a world.
