World Food Distribution Needs

"A report prepared for use by delegates to the United

Nations Food and Agriculture Organization convention, which bpens in Geneva Aug. 25, projects on a worjd scale the "dilemma of simultaneous shortages and surpluses. It points cut that in some countries food shortages are as acute as they were last year. In fact, it estimated minimum grain import heeds for Europe, North Africa and Asia for the 12 months ending July 1, 1948, at 34 to 38 million tens, as compared with 28 million tons in 1946-47. Although world food production, is reported back at prewar levels, fear is expressed that the critical shortage might persist , through 1950. Needs are steadily expanding, for the world's population is increasing by 15 to 20 million persons a year,,,, ; -On the other side of the picture, it is noted that some exporting" nations are restricting production-expansion because of fears that unmarketable surpluses will develop in the future, when war-devastated nations run out of money

to pay for needed imports, or when agriculture finally recovers in such countries. The report thus directs attention to persistent problems,

one oi which is distribution, borne areas always will be un-1 able'to produce sufficient food for domestic needs. These in- ! elude nations as diverse as England and China. On the other hand, there are vast regions, including virtually the entire western hemisphere, which can produce an abundance of grains and other foods for export. There need be no overall shortage of the necessities of. life if the abundance of the haves is made available to the have nots. ,'But distribution is a simpler problem than that of payment. Some nations are in a weak bargaining position ; they find-it difficult to make payments even in goods or materials if and when thes are acceptable in lieu of money. As the report notes: "Any international programs for full production must include some assurance of expanding markets and reasonable prices, if governments, business and farmers are to co-operate in carrying them, out." This problem in turn .has two phases one the short- , range task of getting minimum food requirements to natiofls that, have not recovered from the effects of war, and the oth

er a long-range task of permanently stepping up food pro-

.uutuvu, i.iiyU!UiS u ci5 increasing, puijuiuuuu, onitc these phases overlap, it is held dangerous to attempt to treat them separately. '''"'.,' ' ? All this" is' merely aii elaboration of the dilemma which has. been cited in news dispatches. The task of the FAO is linked with' that of the International Trade Organization, and the job confronting both affects efforts to promote peace and security, for hunger is one of the major causes of wars. In the past, Tfurther more, such problems have figured in economie rivalries'which strained relations between nations. '. Although less dramatic than the pblitical issues con

fronting the U. N., the problems of food and trade are no

less serious, and require fully as great statesmanship in

dealing, with them. In the United States and the few other countries which are virtually self-sustaining, the dilemma of world needs and surplus call for readjustments of policy. Eco

nomic isolationism and world security are irreconcilable

There is one estblished fact

that has stood ever since Adam. !

That is the fact that if anyone should set a certain date to do a

!job or go somewhere it is certain jto rain.

Speaking of rain we are beginning to wonder if we are going to have any around here for a while. The people down around New Lebanon and Merom had a small shower the other evening but none of it came our way.

The big swim meet is going to be held at Shakamak this coming Sunday. From what we hear there is going to be some stiff competition. It seems as though Lindsey, swim instructor at the park, is counting strongly on some of the splashers next Sunday to qualify for the 1948 Olympics. It would be a nice thing if this part of the state could be honored by sending someone to the games. .The 1948 I Olympics are to be held in Lon

don.

A pipneer of the auto industry, hunted throughout the nation in a contest to discover the oldest Chevrolet truck in America, turned up, appropriately, in the possession of a Montana homesteader. The venerable vehicle, vintage of 1918, was still serving Rancher Leslie A. Storey, of Jordan, Mont., whose ranch lies 18 miles from a typical "last frontier" town. The award for owning the oidest licensed and operating truck was a new Chevrolet

"advance-design" model, which Storey "brands" here with his distinctive Circle-Heart brand. It was presented to him by J. W. Burke, manager of Chevrolet's truck department, as Mrs. Storey and Montana cowgirl Merle Spears (right) look on. Nearly 7,000 old-time Chevrolet trucks were entered in the contest won by this vehicle, which was one of 384 built by the division in 1918, its first year of truck production.
