BETTER NUTRITION
League Committee’s FarReaching Proposals
FULL AND CHEAP SUPPLIES
(Received June 9, 19 p.m.)
London, June J.
The Geneva correspondent of "The Times” says that the Astor Committee, after examining Mr. S. M. Bruce’s proposals of February 11 for better nutrition among the masses, has prepared preliminary recommendations for the League Assembly’s consideration in the autumn. They urge Governments to ensure that food supplies, especially of protective foods, are available at prices timt could be reached by all classes while safe-guarding the interests of producers, to cheapen marketing and distribution, to support scientific study with a view to ascertaining the optimum nutrition in each country, to carry out vigorous propaganda, to instruct the public, to arrange for teaching medical students nutrition values and to reorganise agriculture with a view to satisfying the requirements of sound nutrition. . , . Governments will be asked to consider methods of adequately supplying lower-paid workers and unemployed, and also whether a modification of economic policy is desirable to ensute full food supplies.
