Abstract
THE work of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations is so closely linked in some fields with that of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration that the confidence in which this first of the functional organizations of the United Nations was shaped at Hot Springs in May 1943 has naturally been somewhat undermined by the chequered career of the Relief and Rehabilitation Administration and the tardiness of the United States, for example, in voting essential supplies. None the less, the firm pledges which Britain has given to the latter organization and the successful issue of the preparatory conference, which in November led to the constitution of a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, are among the pointers which warrant the hope that in the Food and Agriculture Organisation there is another functional association through which science may make an increasingly effective and important contribution to human welfare.
