FOOD PARADOX
SUPPLIES SHIPPED TO AMERICA CANADIAN SENATOR'S CHARGES ORec. 1 p.m.) OTTAWA, April 15. Senator A. N. McLean stated that he was amazed at the amount of foodstuffs being landed from Europe at Boston, New York, and other Atlantic ports, which he had just visited. " There is certainly • something wrong," he said. "For example, ships leaving American ports with fish products, meet ships from Europe in midAtlantic, carrying similar products. Why should Spain and Portugal, which supplied food to Hitler during the war, be allowed to ship similar products to America when other parts of Europe are hungry? " Senator McLean added that fish products -were being exported from Norway ; Iceland, Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom to get United States dollars. They should be obliged to keep the goods in Europe and accept British pounds or other European currency until the scarcity is over.
