§ Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the delegates at the Hot Springs Conference, in dealing with dip problems of feeding the peoples, considered and satisfied themselves as to whether a sufficient number of persons will be left in agriculture and civilian employment in the territories of the United Nations to produce, transport and distribute the food supplies necessary to implement the decisions arrived at at that conference?
§ Mr. LawThe Conference did not specifically consider the question of manpower, though this is clearly a relevant consideration if effect is to be given to the recommendations regarding the methods of overcoming the general shortage of food. At the same time Resolution XII makes it clear that any steps to be taken to expand production must remain subject to the necessities of the war.
