UNRRA Meets To Address World Famine Relief
Atlantic City, New Jersey, welcomes the fourth council meeting of an organization which is of major importance to the whole World. The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, UNRRA, represented by 47 nations, convenes to solve the food famine which threatens more than half a billion people left destitute by war. Herbert H. Lehman, who will be succeeded by former New York Mayor La Guardia, speaks for brotherhood among nations - The basic problems of understanding between men and between nations exist today as certainly as they existed generations ago. UNRRA has now given the first simple proof that this understanding can be attained. Now let the leaders of the United Nations profit by that experience, and lead their peoples to a world of peace and security.
