“FREE THE WORLD OF HUNGER AND STOP WAR.” SAYS TRUMAN
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 (Recd 6pm) —lf the untouched resources of Africa, South American and Asia were developed to keep the world from being hungry “no one weuld have any idea of carrying on a destructive war,” said President Truman, addressing the American Society of Civil Engineers. The President appealed for support for his four-point programme to help under-developed areas of the world. Mr Truman, who said he thought the United States was better equipped than any other nation to help underdeveloped areas with technical knowledge and assistance, added: “There is a struggle between two great ideologies today, one backed by a moral code and the other backed by no moral code. My ambition is to show that our ideology, with its moral code, can do what is best for the people of the world.”
