FOOD FOR INDIA
N.Z. Appeal By C.0.R.5.0.
(N.Z. Press Association)
AUCKLAND, Feb. 6.
A hand-out of food was not the complete answer to the famine problems of droughtstricken India, said Mr H. L. Trotman, the organiser of C.0.R.5.0.’s New Zealand appeal today. The huge American gift to India of two million tons of grain, worth nearly 150 million dollars, would not affect the £50,000 emergency appeal which C.0.R.5.0. hoped to raise in New Zealand. President Johnson announced the grain allocation last week.
“Babies and nursing mothers can’t eat the type of wheat grain grown in the Western world,” said Mr Trotman.
“Half of C.0.R.5.0.’s appeal money is designed to supply milk products and similar protein produced in New Zealand to ease hunger," he said, “and half will be used to produce more water by deepening wells and building dams.”
