NUTRITION WORK.
LEAGUE RECOMMENDATION'S. (Received 9.30 a.m.) ' LONDON", June 9. The Geneva correspondent of "The Times" states that the Nutrition Committee, of which Viscount Astor is chairman, has prepared preliminary recommendations for consideration by the Assembly in the autumn. It urges Governments to ensure that food supplies, especially protective foods, shall be available at prices which can be paid by all classes of people while safeguarding interests of producers. Also the committee i-ecommends the Governments to cheapen marketing and distribution, to support scientific study with a view to ascertaining the best conditions in regard to nutrition in each country, to carry out vigorous propaganda, to instruct the public and arrange for teaching medical students nutrition values, and to reorient agriculture with a view to satisfying the requirements of sound nutrition. The Governments will be asked to consider methods of adequately supplying food to lower paid people and to unemployed, also whether modification of economic policy is desirable to ensure full food supplies.
