STARVING CHILDREN
SUFFERING IN EUROPE CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP’S REQUEST (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Feb. 14. Archbishop O’Shea has requested that Catholic school children of the Archdiocese of Wellington should unite in prayer that speedy relief may be given to the starving and homeless children of Europe and the undernourished children of Britain. According to information received by the archbishop, in one country .alone — Hungary—two out of every five children under three years of age have died of starvation since the end of the war in Europe. It is computed that millions face the same fate as they wander homeless over the Continent. “ The archbishop has also requested the children of the diocese to contribute to a fund, the proceeds of which will be sent to bring relief to their starving brothers and sisters in Europe, irrespective of what creed or nationality they may be.
