The starvation areas of Europe Can be seen at a glance, above This marl will now darken from month to month as, in man; comities, the last remaining food stocks reach exhaustion. NEW YORK (Special)—All Europe is on short rations. Only tiny Portugal still commands a normal food supply. Before the rirst of the next harvests can be reaped, three months must elapse. In some countries, re maining , food stocks will have been exhausted long before, when conditions of slow starva tion which already exist will become actual famine. More over, in several European coun tries the harvest covers only a few months consumption, The above map has been drawn to bring the threatened areas into relief. As may be seen at a glance, the Bvitish Isles, Germany, Italy and the Balkans, although all on ra tions, are not in danger.. But the little, western democracies, always dependent on overseas supplies and now cut off by the blockade, are already on a semi-starvation basis. Darkest immediate spot in the picture are Belgium and Poland (the latter because of war de vastation and partitioning).. Here, actual famine already pre vails. People are dying of sheer hunger. But Spain, France, Omicron Nu Vocational Confabs Advise Home Economics Students Two prominent home econo mics business women will offer home economics freshmen and sophomores opportunity for in dividual conferences at the Vo cational Conference sponsored by Omicron. Nu, Wednesday, THE COLLEGE Member of THE DAILY COT LFGEAN 11 /C4ri.40111 (31:14MA0. "y~ Holland, Norway, and Finland are not far behind. The above map will now darken quickly from month to month. The ter- rible food emergency in Europe, so long forecast by food experts, is now but a stet) away. Spain may be able to get some help from the Argentine. In the case of the other coun tries, . however, their main hope seems to be the United States. Like the Argentine, the United States not only holds large, sur plus carryovers of foodstuffs of which it would be glad to get rid, but each one of these starv ing countries holds in frozen dollars balances ample to pay for the food they need. Bel gium, alone, has several hun dred million dollars in assets here. It is then primarily a question whether it can be ar ranged to pass this food through the blockade, if, at the European end, it can be taken in control by a tight, neutral agency which will supervise its distribution to non-belligerent, civilian popu lations only—and a guarantee that it will not fall into other hands. April 23. • Mrs. Ruth McCurdy, owner and operator of Overbrook Town Shop in Scranton, and Miss Jean Lovejoy from the de monstration school operated by West Penn Power Co. in Pitts burgh will speak at the after noon assembly.

Speakers, authors, editorial writers, politicians have lately been insisting that the defense of Pan-American • democracy will require a more friendly U. S. attitude toward the nations south of the Rio Grande. "We will never understand our Lat in-American neighbors thor oughly until we can speak to them in their own tongue," a noted educator declared recent ly. How interested P are American college students—among whom are found most of the nation's leaders of tomorrow—in dealing with Central and South Ameri ca? How many consider a knowledge of, Spanish a require ment to better understanding? How many are now studying Spanish? What other languages are they learning? Student Opinion Surveys of America, the national collegiate poll conducted by scores of un & dergraduate newspapers, in ‘y cluding The Daily Collegian, has made use of its coast-to-coast sampling machinery to find the answers to these questions— straight from college students themselves. Here they are: "Do you think it would help our relations with Latin Ameri- ca if more people in this coun try knew more about the Span ish language?" Only a bare majority of 56 per cent believes-Spanish would be an aid. The rest, 44 per cent, answered "no." The 3 per cent who were undecided were not included in the tabu lations. "Have you or are you now taking a college course in Span ish? Any other modern lang uage?" Wanted and RIDES Offered P.W.—Phila. every weekend. C —Andy, 4102. Lv. phone number. P.W.
