STILL MUCH HUNGER AND DISTRESS IN MANY BRITISH HOMES
Dr. R. G. Hampton, former secretary of the National Council of the Aid-to-Britain campaign, does not agree that the food position in Great Britain has improved. “There is still a lot of hunger and distress in Britain and it will be a sad day when food gift parcels are no longer sent there. There are homes and individuals who can do with all the parcels we can send them," he said, when addressing the winding-up meeting of the Wanganui committee yesterday. “And if we review the situation in other countries, particularly Asiatic countries, where there are teeming millions who are not only short of food but are dying of starvation, we find that we are privileged to help those people. If we do not do our full job in this respect it will be on our own heads if Communism raises its ugly head and invades our peaceful land. “There are two solutions to th* problem—either we can send troops to Korea, or we can supply them with food. Most will agree that the latter course is the better."
