Reasons Against
Sending Food To
France Are Given
Bobet C. Dexter, Executive
Director, Unitarian Service Com
mittee, explains why his organiza
tion has decided that it should not
pngage in sending food or supp-!
lies to France, or to any of, t li e
other occupied countries,
l^rimarily, the decision was
based upon the conclusion that the
supplies sent, even to unoccupied
France, much less to the occupied
countries of Europe, would actu
ally add to Gernmny’s resources
and thus increase her fighting
strength. While particular supp
lies might not fall into Geman
hands, they would release other
supplies which could be used by
Germany.
Illustrating the pojnt, he says
that one of the Committee’s re-
