Kansan Comments
Stop-Gap Measures Are Not Enough
Between the first of this month and July 18, one million tons of food will arrive in Germany to feed the hungry in the American and British zones. The cost of this food will be shared by the British and United States governments. Germany is to repay the cost with income from future exports.
It is a sound policy to extend food aid to Germany. There will be those who will question our obligation to rush food to our former enemies. But a hungry Germany will be slow to recover and the slower her recovery, the longer will we have to foot a huge occupation force.
There is a genuine food need in Germany. It will be up to our occupation authorities to see that the food distribution is equitably carried out and that hoarding and black marketeering are reduced to a minimum.
Also, at the present time, a preparatory commission is meeting in Switzerland to set up the International Refuge Organization. This agency is designed to take over many of the functions that the U.N.R.R.A. will abandon when it goes out of existence June 30.
Its main service will be to give temporary relief to more than 800 thousand displaced persons in Europe. That word "temporary" should be noted. The I.R.O. is only a stop-gap agency to make life more bearable for those homeless thousands until a more permanent solution is carried out.
It is within our power to lead the way to that permanent solution. We can and should revise our immigration quota system and admit many of those displaced persons.
These two actions—food aid and the I.R.O.-are correct temporary measures to meet current needs in war-torn Europe.
The permanent answer to the food problem lies in early rehabilitation and economic unification of Germany. That unification will
not be achieved soon was shown by the failure to reach agreement at the recent Moscow conference. However, war refugee aid need not wait. We can lead the way by admitting thousands of well-screened D.P.'s into this country. There is no decent future for the living remnant of Hitler's victims as long as all we have to offer is a new agency to supervise them in their present aimless lives.

State representative Charles A. Stowe, Lawrence, and some officers and members of the Sunflower post are expected to attend. Temporary officers will be nominated and elected from the floor; permanent officers will be elected after the post is fully established, McCoy said.
Promotion of world peace, preservation of the American way of life, and helping the veteran reestablish himself in civilian life were given as goals of the AmVets, which was described as "non-partisan, non-political, and non-sectarian."
