FAMINE FACES Czech HALF THE WORLD Guerillas?
Geneva, Aug. 26.
Agrim and desperate state of partial famine affect- Ing nearly half the population of the world during the coming winter was predicted today by Sir John Boyd Orr, director general of the Food and Agricultural Organization. "Next winter and spring many millions in Europe will be worse fed than during the war," while in Asia there is "little hope of any substantial improvement this year," according to Sir John. He warned: "Continued hun- ger tends to reduce people to sub- human level this state of affairs continues so long that there is dangor that the scienco of the world will become stunt ed."
He cautioned against a ten- dency to believe that countries which pre-war were large im
porters of food might become self-sufficient, "This might take us back to the chaotic con. ditions in the late twenties which
contributed to the world econo- mig erlais," he said.,
Sir John stressed that unless measures were taken on a world scale to preserve existing food. producing resources of the world, "human society may be faced in a few decades with food shortages which cannot be recti fied by humanitarian, economic or political measures.”
