Show HOOVER PREDICTS A SLOW FAMINE Herbert Hoover, now in Europe, says that "slow famine" is already killing children on the continent, with 20 million from the Russian frontier to the English channel "badly undernourished" and "steadily "stea-dily developing tuberculosis, rickets, rick-ets, anemia and other diseases of subnormal feeding." Mr. Hoover assures us that widespread famine is inevitable unless the United States and other oth-er wheat-growing countries ship all available supplies and that the few months until the next harvest, har-vest, "are the most critical food period in all modern history." |
