UNRRA Programme Hear Completion
WELLINGTON, Sat. (P.A.)—With the completion of the UNRRA supply programme and the reconciliation of accounts and other details the New Zealand office of UNRRA will close from November 30, and before the end of 1947 active representation of UNRRA in New Zealand will cease.
_ Announcing this, the deputy director ,of UNRRA (Mr F. H. P. Warmington) said UNRRA had provided the largest relief operation In history. ' New Zealand’s active part in this major United Nations undertaking was ’represented in terms of money by a contribution from the national income of £5,200,000, the bulk of which had been expended in commodities, ranging from ships and livestock to canned cels and whalemeat; by the sending of more than 100 suitable qualified New Zealanders to Europe and China, and in many other ways by services not readily recordable in terms of money or commodities.
