PEAKING in Trafalgar Square
recently James Cameron stated that the British Government was spending less in the African Protectorates on belief and relief projects than Oxfam. Continuing, he said: “If there is an opposite to the affluent society, by God I know it. This is the world we live in. A total paradox. A stinking rich and abounding world where we're all obsessed with some mysteriously incomprehensible thing called a Bank rate while hundreds of millions of people are starving to death and haven’t got enough to eat. These people go permanently hungry, not just occasionally or in bad times, but always, day after day, year after year, until the end of their | lives.” The speaker claimed that Oxfam and other organisations are holding the fort until the imperfect and crazy world we live in becomes a sane and | rational one. He omitted to tell his _ audience that Britain spends over | 2,000 million pounds a year on war preparations and that a reversal of like policies by the so-called great powers could feed the “babies with arms like sticks and bodies like empty gloves” that he said he had held in his arms.
