Item Title Speech on food aid plan to Belgium and other Nazi-occupied countries
Collection Title George E. Sokolsky papers
Date Created 1916/1962?
Description Sokolsky details the plan to send food aid to countries occupied by Nazi Germany and how to pay for it. An experimental program, it is not meant to encompass all people in the countries, nor is it meant as aid to Nazi Germany. Foods are nutrient-rich items, such as fats and vegetables. It only applies three million people served at supervised soup-kitchens; two million children and one million expectant mothers and elderly. A person in Belgium is down to 960 calories a day. An ordinary American needs a minimum of 2000 calories a day; a heavy worker needs 4000. The aid will be paid for by the Treasuries of the recipient countries.
