The bulk of the funds raised by the Appeal vi a' distributed by ' the International Childrens Emerj oc Fund, an agency of the United Nations.

Instead, they have .only $3( 000 and can help only some 4,000,000 children, fod i - six months. The Fund will help countries which are helping jPF pe selves. Towards a daily .supplementary, meal,,' pr 14 by each country, the Fund will contribute the equi? sse of a. glass of skimmed milk, flavored with cocoa C iSS. fat, consisting of lard or margarine, and a r small oil. This will cost of canned meat, fish or cod-livthree and a half cents. To give this much to the 230,000,000 children are within reach of modern transportation and ,wlf Osts expect little or no aid either from, governmental or from volunteer agencies, would cost $1,470,000,$ p only a six months period.
