Hero in Rome the worst health problem we bad was the babies from one to throe years of age, writes Colonel Charles Foletti (U.K.A.), Allied Commissioner in Rome. In normal times Romo renuired more than 250.000 litres of milk daily, but under the Germans they got just 30,000, and the mortality rate was appalling. Fortunately, we were prepared to distribute hundreds of tons of powdered milk, and in less than two months’ time the infant health rate had climbed back to normal.
