CONTRIBUTIONS TO UNRRA
INCREASES PROPOSED (Rec. 11.25 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 22. Russia and America supported Britain's resolution before U.N.O.'s Economic and Financial Committee urging that members of the United Nations should increase their contributions by 1 per cent, of their national incomes, and that peace-loving States which were not members of the United Nations should join. Russia sought to have excepted from this further contribution those countries which had been occupied by the enemy. The United States urged that the increased contribution should be made with the least possible delay, in view of the fact that Unrra's work would end in Europe on December 31, 1946, and in Asia by March, 1947. Sir George Rendel, representative on the European Committee of Unrra, expressed the opinion that the Russian recommendation would tend to exclude States, such as France, which at present were contributing to Unrra. The committee adjourned.
