Why not dramatize the story of America’s sacrifice by running a Friendship Train” straight across the United States, straight through the heart of America, collecting 1ood as it goes, inspiring the house- wives and farmers of the nation te spare a bag of flour or a bushel of wheat and bring it down to the ¥Friendship Train as their contri- bution teward Iriendship with the people of Europe?

This visible gesture of the genercsity of America would more than offset the cooked-up fanfare of Communist leaders of Europe and would convince the people of Europe that this food comes not i1om the United States Government as a part of its foreign policy but 15 scraped together from every din- ner table in America—a sacrifice from the American People to their less-fortunate fellow men. Getting food to Europe, no mat- ter how it's sent, is important. But how much better that it be receiv- ed not as barter between Govern- ments—a deal whereby the Foreign Minist of a country pawns his political support to the USA in re- turn for a mess of American pot- tage! How much more important, it the recipients of this food interpret it as a cold and calculated move, but rather what it really it—a move- ment by the American people to stint their own dinner table to help neighbors in distress who in turn are helped to make democracy live! Perhaps I'm cockeyed on this, or perhaps you have a better way of getting this idea across.
