Poverty
Sir, —Your correspondent, Fleming Ross Miller, is quite right, starvation is politically imposed (“The Press,” June 27). The European butterberg was an embarrassment. Farmers in the U.S.A, and perhaps also in Canada are paid by the taxpayer not to produce food in a world where people starve. Unfortunately, the attributes of selfishness and greed, which have pushed man to the point where they are soon to destroy him, are the very ones
which have brought him from the one-celled organism swimming in the sea to his present position. It seems to me to be an unbreakable cycle.—Yours, etc., GRASS-ROOTS FARMER. July 29, 1972.
