E' At his press conference Tuesday Mr. Roosevelt said that the good neighbor policy now has become a part - of the country’s national {policy and predicted its continuance regardless of changes here or in other capitals. He said he would {make a radio address soon to explain how the United States will be acting in its own interest to help smaller and poorer Latin American nations. Briefly the food situation In Europe is as follows: FRANCE—A year ago malnutrition was felt throughout the occupied and unoccupied zones. The situation now is worse and probably will become increasingly so. The formerly unoccupied area may now be better able to send food northward with removal of the demarcation line, but loss: of the African supply and the overwhelming problem of transportation, now further burdened with German troop movements, will make conditions more acute. The very old and the very young are the worst sufferers, resulting in increasing death lists. BELGIUM—Major objective of American relief activity in world war I, Belgium’s condition is worse than 25 years ago. Tuberculosis is increasingly prevalent. Small amounts of medical supplies have been shipped in. But no food comes {from abroad, even from Central Europe. Contrasted with a League jof Nations finding that 2500 calories sare necessary daily for adults, the Belgian ration of 1200 calories has {not been fully met in two years.

Even Fish Lost to Norway

NORWAY—Strong resistance has caused increasing pressure by the Germans so that even Norway's one iexportable product — fish — is no {longer available to Norwegians. All herring must go to Germany. A small supply of whale meat in northern Norway was seized; fruit { produced in southern Norway could

NETHERLANDS — Calories allowed in the diet range from 457 for infants to 1480 for adults and 2038 for _pregnant women and young mothers. - Black markets sell { widely to.those able to pay fantastic prices. | POLAND—This country is one of the worst sufferers, though pri- . marily a food-producing nation. Not only does Germany find Poland | most convenient to pillage, because of its nearness, but it must also supply food for the Russian front. Black market prices: beef, $2.40 a pound; potatoes, 35 cents a pound; lard, $4.50 a pound; sugar, $2.75 a pound.

20-YEAR GLUB DINES. TUESDAY

Veteran Railways Employees to Hear Address by Col. Drysdale.

Col. Walter S. Drysdale, commanding officer of Ft. Harrison, will be the principal speaker at the 14th annual banquet of the Indianapolis Railways Twenty Year club at 6 p. m. Tuesday in the Athenaeum. Raymond B. Hereth, club president, has announced that approximately 250 veteran railways employees are expected to attend the banquet. Other speakers will be Harry Reid, president of Indianapolis Railways, and James P. Tretton, vice president and general manager. Mr. Hereth will be toastmaster. Approximately 20 employees who have passed the 20-year mark in service during the year will become members. Honored guests will be Edward F. Claffey, 76, who is the oldest employee, and George Perry, who holds! the longest service record with 52] years. Special guests will be mem-| bers of the railways’ board of directors. Mr. Hereth is in charge of arrangements for the banquet, as-| sisted by T. L. McCarty, club sec-, retary. Members of the Twenty. Year club board of directors are Richard Finley, Charles: Beeler, Thomas Morgan, Harry Davis, Mrs. Eva Wilson, Miss Catherine Maloney, EJd— ~d Cangany, Merrill Wiltermc 1 8. F. McCaslin.

are much .¢ than a year ago. The peasants are not producing as much food and the people in the cities are starving. Conditions are} slightly betier among the peasants since they can hold out something for their own needs. Slovakia, favored a year ago by the axis, is now in as bad shape as the rest of the country, indicating that the Germans are themselves hard pressed for food. Tuberculosis is raging. : JUGOSLAVIA — Conditions are approaching starvation almost everywhere, with Belgrade the hardest hit. Prisoners in the hands of the axis are starving and the population can do little for them. Croatia is somewhat better off than the rest of the country but even there the harvest will be poor.

GREECE—Still hardest hit of the invaded nations. Unless the war ends within a year, it has been estimated, one nalf the population will die from disease or starvation. The 15,000 tons of wheat being sent in monthly and the future shipments of milk will do only a little to relieve real suffering.

yesterday by the police and the coroner’s office to determine whether a 20-year-old youth whose body was found in the canal Wednesday may have met with foul play.

Dr. H. L. Collins, deputy coroner, said that the youth, identified as John M. Wylie, 1412 W. 23d st., was an employee of Allison’s and that he had been reported missing from his home since Oct. 31. Preliminary investigation did not indicate foul play, Dr. Collins said, but when the youth was found his billfold was missing and there were no identification papers on him. In-

pockets but Dr. Collins said the youth was believed to have, had more money. The missing persons bureau at police headquarters said they had received a call Nov. 14 from the youth's father in Frazee, Minn., who said the youth had been missing from his home since last month. The body was discovered in the canal near the 17th st. gates of the Indianapolis Water Co.
