FOOD FROM DISTRESSED COUNTRIES
recently appealed in a provincial paper to all who wished to help in the fight against famine in Europe, telling them where they might send their contributions. An anonymous letter in reply stated that, as eggs were being imported into this country from Poland and turkeys from Yugoslavia, it did not look as if Europe was exactly starving. Perhaps you, Sir, or one of your readers, can tell me if it is a fact that these two countries, who are receiving food from U.N.R.R.A. and voluntary organisations, are at the same time exporting their home-grown produce ; and, if they are, what is the explanation of a situation which to the ordinary mortal appears to be incredible?—Yours faithfully, 0.
