C.—The great ma- Ijority of Europe’s 40,000,000 urban I children are “seriously underfed and {require supplementary feeding," ac cording to Maurice Pate, American Red Croes official who accompanied Herbert Hoover on his world survey of famine conditions. Mr, jPate,.. a member of PresMent Truman’s famine emergency com mittee, was also assoeiated with Mr. Hoover, in the food relief program In Belgium and Poland after the First World War. “The needs following this war are three times greater than they were In 1818 and 1818," he reported following the aurvey of the health of children in twelve countrlea. Highlights from his report foUowl: Poland—More than 80,000 children live In Warsaw’s mtos where many families subsist on nothing but po tatoes. The health of Poland's chil dren Is worse than any other oonntry in Europe. Of the Mxtlre population of 7,000,000 children, more than 880,- 000 are now to dire need of supple mentary food and clothing. Oreeoe—The infant death rate to Athens la 26 peroent Finland—A heroic effort is being made by this country to feed a soup ration of 218 calories to 88 percent of tbs children. More fats and sugar are needed. Tugoslavla—‘Lass than 10 percent of the eapltars school children are receiving supplementary feeding. Tuberculocis to premlent Germany—The entire child welfar# system collapsed with the country's defeat. In Berlin an effort to being made to provide 1,000 undemonrtobed riiildren with a supplementary meal of 200 calories when 600 are n^ed. Thi Thomas Tavern.
