Food May be Available to Poorer Areas Plan Proposed to be Given to Food Conference
(By International News Service)
America's post-war planners today are considering the possibility of an international agreement to make nutritional foods available at low cost to the poorer regions of the world after the war is over. A plan to this effect may be presented by the American delegation to the United Nations Food Conference, which convenes at Hot Springs, Va., May 18.
Under the plan now being studied, the American people would be called upon to help finance the feeding of the masses of India, China and other areas of the world. America's share of the cost of this scheme to prevent hunger and starvation would be considered an insurance payment for maintaining world peace and helping to raise the standard of living of the earth's inhabitants generally.
The major food producing nations would be asked to accept as an international obligation the distribution at low cost of nutritional products to the under-nourished peoples of the world. Minimum nutrition standards would be set for the various underfed areas, and the United Nations would be pledged to cooperate in making food available at a minimum cost within reach of the purchasing power of the masses.
One method of facilitating the delivery of low cost food to the special areas would be by duty free movement of surplus products from the producing countries.
