United States? <strong>The</strong>re cannot possibly be any valid reason for secrecy. Are we following a policy <strong>of</strong><br />
vindictive hatred, a policy which would not be endorsed by the American people as a whole if they<br />
knew <strong>of</strong> the true conditions?<br />
Mr. President. I should be less than honest if I did not state frankly that the picture is much worse, so<br />
much more confused, than the American people suspect, that I do not know <strong>of</strong> any source that is<br />
capable <strong>of</strong> producing the complete factual account <strong>of</strong> the true situation into which our policies have<br />
taken the American people. <strong>The</strong> truth is that nations <strong>of</strong> central, southern and eastern Europe are adrift<br />
on a flood <strong>of</strong> anarchy and chaos." - Congressional Record, December 4th 1945, p.11552<br />
"<strong>The</strong> plain fact is that when spring is in the English air we are starving the German people, and we are<br />
starving them not deliberately in the sense we prefer their death to our own inconvenience.<br />
Others, including ourselves, are to keep and be given comforts while the Germans lack the bare<br />
necessities <strong>of</strong> existence."<br />

"On the contrary it (the famine) is the product <strong>of</strong> foresight. It was deliberately planned at Yalta by<br />
Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill, and the program in all its brutality was later confirmed by Truman,<br />
Atlee, and Stalin. <strong>The</strong> intent to starve the German people to death is being carried out with a<br />
remorselessness unknown in the western world since the Mongol conquest."<br />
Chicago Daily Tribune, May 1945<br />
SURPLUS FOOD WITHHELD<br />
"Stocks <strong>of</strong> food and feeding stuffs in this country owned and controlled by the Minister <strong>of</strong> Food,<br />
exclusive <strong>of</strong> stocks on farms or held by secondary wholesalers and manufacturers, were estimated to<br />
total on the last day <strong>of</strong> Match no less that 4,000,000 tons."<br />
Victor Gollancz, British Publisher. Leaving them to their Fate - <strong>The</strong> Ethics <strong>of</strong> Starvation<br />
At this time, Denmark, formerly occupied by the Germans as the means <strong>of</strong> denying the allies a North<br />
Sea bridgehead and access to the Baltic, was bursting at the seams with surplus food and was pleading<br />
with the allies to put it to good use. It was refused.<br />
"While the rest <strong>of</strong> Europe hungers for meat, Denmark has 3,000 to 4,000 tons <strong>of</strong> surplus beef<br />
weekly..." - Associated Press Dispatch. Copenhagen, summer 1945<br />
Robert Conway <strong>of</strong> the New York News, March 22nd 1946 dismissed as an exaggeration reports that all<br />
<strong>of</strong> Europe was afflicted by shortages. He went on to report how, 'in France, Italy and England, where<br />
it was possible to eat well and live cheaply in London, Canterbury and other English towns."<br />
"<strong>The</strong> UNRRA (Official Relief Agency) is the biggest racket in Europe."<br />
Cyril Osborn, M.P, August 1946<br />
"No Central Red Cross has been permitted to function in the stricken Reich. And it is now a matter <strong>of</strong><br />
history that the Washington administration for nearly a year hotly resisted all efforts to bring private<br />
relief to the Germans." - Ralph Franklin Keeling, Institute <strong>of</strong> American Economics, 1947<br />
A ban was put on all fertiliser use, without which crops could not be grown. "For six months our<br />
