of UNRRA's scope and function. Recently it has taken a beating for failing to alleviate suffering in France Belgium and Holland— yet it never was intended to do the big_ relief job in those countries. Ability-to-Pay Basis

Théy were “able-to-pay” countries—they have good-sized bank accounts. UNRRA was set up to help nations unable to pay. France said from the start that it didn’t want UNRRA doing the French relief job. lantic City conference at which UNRRA was organized, Jean

Monnet, the able representative |

of the French government. in economic matters, insisted that France would assume its own responsibility.

There would be a time, of i

transition after that was to be |

to thé French government, not to UNRRA. Belgium and Holland lined up similarly. They had their own funds and didn’t want UNRRA coming in.

But thére was a hitch. Allied |

plans for feeding civilians in liberated areas after D-day foundered because the Germans either smashed the French ports or held on in them. Bordeaux, St. Na-

zaire and Dunkirk are still in | - Nazi hands.

Even today, only Cherbourg can take a vessel as large as a Liberty

So, there has been suffering. The military, forced .to give priority to military goods, could not handle sufficient civilian sup-
