Poverty, Hunger Greatest Problems Confronting India And Pakistan By DeWITT MacKENZIE AP roralfn Alfiln Analyst When Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was asked by small New York schoolgirl what his country's worst problem Is, ha replied with hesitation: "Poverty. We must have food for our people." There In eight plain worda Neh ru summed up the paramount task he faces as leader of In dia's three hundred millions. No evasion; no effort to glosss over a situation which men of smaller caliber might have found embar rassing on their first visit to a foreign land. Just a blunt admis sion of a tragic fact. India's greatest burden is stark hunger, due to poverty. The same can be said of her sister state of Pakistan with its population of 100,000.000. It Is no exaggeration to say that the majority of the people In the vast Indian subcon tinent always are hungry. And of course, the plague of hunger haunts China and other oriental lands. The western world doesn't know the half of the trials of the east. About 70 percent of the 400.000,- 000 people In India and Pakistan are dependent on agriculture, and the average farming family doesn't get enough to eat. The farmers struggle with antiquat ed methods on land which has been worn out through countless generations of tillage. I have visited much In Indian villages and found condition ap paling. No Sanitation In Huts The homes are little mud huts, which are fearfully dirty and have no sanitation. Probably there Isn't even a single "back, house" of that sturdy type known to the western world. Cowdung, gathered by the women with their hands, is plastered on the outside walls of the hura to dry for fuel. Human beings and animals live pretty much together. There are few watches or clocks. The mem bers of the family probably go to bed in the dark because their only lights, If any, are open dish es with oil and wick, such as used for thousands of years. Amidst all this awful squalor, death and birth do their rounds and the one who dies is lucky. Doctors They are mostly sari hus, or spirit doctors, who work their "cures" through incanta tions and other weird practices. Whether you live or whether you die Is a matter of luck. And these poor people always are hungry. You can see It In their faces and starved bodies. Hosts of them have only one meal a day and that consists of gruel made from a little grain. So there you have some of the sordid story. Naturally conditions In the towns and cities are better, though there is much poverty and consequent u n d e r-nourlshment among them. As Nehu says, this poverty ii his greatest problem, just as it is the greatest problem of India's sister state of Pakistan. Its solu tion la the foundation on which he must build the new and indepen dent India. What are his chances of suc cess in this great undertaking? As the signs read he will go far. I have spent a good deal of time traveling about the penin sula during the past 33 years, and India. Is on the move. She has made tremendous strides this last generation. Cloves were such an expensive luxury to western civilization at one time that the ships of explor er Ferdinand Magellan sold cargo of them for more than the cost of a three-year expedition. for babies, for school children and for those of us who like to be kids!
