INDIA FACES FOOD SHORTAGE
ENOUGH FOR NEXT TWO MONTHS NEW DELHI, April 24. Mr Herbert Hoover, before leaving for the more-seriously aifected areas, said India apparently had enough food for May and June, but thereafter nothing. "If India needs food by June it must come from Australia or other nearby food bins. There simply is not time to haul it from a greater distance," he said. " Month by month the needs and ship movements must be geared together to solve the problem effectively. It is hard to make the world realise what famine means until the people see pictures of bodies in the streets. There are 150,000,000 in Europe and 75,000,000 in India who will starve if supplies are halted."
