DODD Deputy Director -General: SIR HERBERT BROADLEY TF:r STATE OF FOOD !D AGRICULTURE-1943 A Survey of World Conditions and Prospects FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Washington, D. C., U.S.A. September 1948 FOREWORD HE STATE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE, 1948 has been prepared at the request of member governments as a basic document for the intergovernmental consultations on plans and programs at the Fourth Session of the FAO Conference in November; but it is also addressed to the general public. The world still suffers from a shortage of food, fibers, and forest products, even if the situation may become less acute in the current year.Hence, itis important to ascertain to what extent governments have programs which will put an end to scarcities within a reasonable time and go on to provide a more adequate level of supplies, par- ticularly in the low-incorne countries. From the information available to FAO, I am convinced of two things: first, much more is being done to expand production around the world than is generally realized (and another Conference document, National Pro g- ress in Food and Agriculture Programs, will illustrate this); second, what is being done, although so noteworthy, isfar from sufficient to make any significant improvement upon the low living standards of most peoples. In my belief, the difficulties which stand in the way of a really rapid expansion of production should be examined more energetically by governments, and decisions should be taken which will enlarge the programs and facilitate their speedier execution. There have been enough generalizations; what is now needed is practical action. The present Report, in spite of limitations and imperfections due to inadequate data, delineates the central issues clearly enough to enable governments to consult together and decide what practical steps should be taken next. With this Report as an over-all guide it is my hope to see action initiated or intensified in a wide variety of fields to expand production, improve national and international distribution, and raise living standards throughout the world.

APPENDIX CONSTRUCTION OF AN INDEX OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION 212 vi iRT I WORLD REVIEW Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION is now three years siace the termination of hostilities, and three years in October Irsince the establishment of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Na- tions.These have been years of world-wide shortages, especially of agric.ultural and forestry products, on a scale as unparalleled as it was unforeseen. From 1945 until mid- 1947 the crisis was generally expected to be over within a few months or after the next harvest; it was called a "short-term" crisis.Only during the past twelve months have governments come to regard it as something more persistent. Perhaps the major error lay in an underestimation of the degree and extent of war damage in Europe and Asia.Destruction was more widespread and far-reaching than in World War I.Not only did agricultural production in these continents decline, re- sulting in reduced consumption levels and virtual elimination of Asia's food exports, but the dislocation of manufacturing industry left Europe and Japan with little to export and farmers in Asia and other areas with few incentive goods from the customers needing the food.In particular, che collapse of Germany and japan and their present inability to export or import has left an economic vacuum which gravely affects countries with which they had had close commercial relationships.Thus, not ordy were the deficit coun- tries more deficit, but many of their former suppliers were no longer in the export business. Just as the loss and deterioration of capital have been greater than at first realized, so also has been the effort needed for reconstruction.Full employment is found almost 'everywherein the recovering countries of Europe and the Far East, in the developing countries of Latin America, and in the expanding countries such as the United States of America and Canada.Large money incomes are being generated, but the output of con- sumption goods is quite inadequate to match the level of consumer purchasing power. The inflationary situation, aggravated in many cases by prernature removal of controls, has spread around the world.Food shortage itself makes a major contributioa to the inflation since consumer demand for fooci is stronger than for other goods and therefore, in the absence of controls, food prices press upward, pushing the cost of living up too, with consequential upward pressure on wages.The inflation is now seen to be more persistent and protracted than was anticipated, and the early attempts to control it in some countries are breaking down. A third phenomenon arising out of the war is a geographic shift of wealth.While Europe, Asia, and in some respects Africa each suffered a setback in World War II, the countries of the Western Hemisphere, particularly the United States, have increased their output and their equipment for production.This shift, so especially marked in respect of food and industrial equipment, may be temporary only in part; to the extent thatit proves permanent it creates special payments difficulties.For unless, when Europe and Asia once again have products to offer, the Western Hemisphere is willing to import on a large enough scale to rectify the balance of payments, that problem, like the food problem, may prove to be more persistent than temporary.

About 100 college presi­ dents are inaugurated each year; and in the Association, of which Dr. Brum­ baugh tabulates statistics, the average life of a college president is 12 years.

From the beginning also, differences of opinion have appeared. They make only the more necessary the examination which we are undertaking, for it is perhaps because this examination has hitherto always been postponed that points of view have been divergent and that it appears even now that this divergence is capable of bringing into jeopardy the settlement of these questions, and in consequence the future security of the world.

  • The Atomic Energy Commission
    The Atomic Energy Commission By Alice Buck July 1983 U.S. Department of Energy Office of Management Office of the Executive Secretariat Office of History and Heritage Resources Introduction Almost a year after World War II ended, Congress established the United States Atomic Energy Commission to foster and control the peacetime development of atomic science and technology. Reflecting America's postwar optimism, Congress declared that atomic energy should be employed not only in the Nation's defense, but also to promote world peace, improve the public welfare, and strengthen free competition in private enterprise. After long months of intensive debate among politicians, military planners and atomic scientists, President Harry S. Truman confirmed the civilian control of atomic energy by signing the Atomic Energy Act on August 1, 1946.(1) The provisions of the new Act bore the imprint of the American plan for international control presented to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission two months earlier by U.S. Representative Bernard Baruch. Although the Baruch proposal for a multinational corporation to develop the peaceful uses of atomic energy failed to win the necessary Soviet support, the concept of combining development, production, and control in one agency found acceptance in the domestic legislation creating the United States Atomic Energy Commission.(2) Congress gave the new civilian Commission extraordinary power and independence to carry out its awesome responsibilities. Five Commissioners appointed by the President would exercise authority for the operation of the Commission, while a general manager, also appointed by the President, would serve as chief executive officer. To provide the Commission exceptional freedom in hiring scientists and professionals, Commission employees would be exempt from the Civil Service system.

KAPLANPROOFS2_10.24.19 10/28/2019 1:48 PM ORIGINS OF NATO: 1948-1949 Lawrence S. Kaplan* OVERVIEW The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) originated in the trauma of World War II. The human cost of that war at last motivated Europe to remove the barriers to economic integration that had promoted warfare among the nation-states since the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648.1 The devastation of western Europe also inspired the United States as the major victor in that war to abandon its traditional isolation from European political and military affairs.2 Accelerating these fundamental changes was the awareness on both sides of the Atlantic of the threat Soviet-led Communism posed to the future of Western democracy.3 However, recognizing the necessity did not equate with effective immediate action to cope with these two challenges in the post-war world. Too many obstacles had to be overcome.
