Situation Desperate. The food situation was growing |’ desperate, with little on sale at the markets and little done to feed the multitudes of hungry. It was estimated that less than three weeks' supply of foodstuffs was available in the tri- cities. Perched on housetops under the blazing sun, with sometimes a rag of cloth rigged up as protection from the burning rays, thousands of the natives refused to be rescued. They clung to the superstitious belief that H-nkew is doomed and refused either to be helped or to help themselves. Relief societies worked feverishly to aid the destitute, but their efforts were limited, and the mntlc need for relief surpassed local capacities. Thousands of natives, who escaped the angry Yangtze will perish unless immediate succor is available.

Naval relief work would be limited, American officers explained, because their gunboats are not fitted to convey large numbers of refugees, nor to trans- port immense quantities of supplies.

At first & fifth of that sum had been considered, but as the gravity of t.he nation's unprecedented flood situation grew it became apparent a much greater sum would be needed.

By the Associated Press. 3 Coffee traders have withdrawn their objections to the Federal Farm Board': exchange of wheat for Brazilian coffee and have assured the board the ar- rangement was satisfactory to them, Chairman Stone of the board an- nounced yesterday. He explained that when they were | informed the 1,050,000 bags of coffee would not be marketed for a year and | then in monthly allotments, the traders’ lprrehenmcn was dispelled. The board will exchange 25,000,000 bushels of wheat for the coffee. Record Barver. Describing the exchange as perhaps the largest international barter in his- tory, the chairman reiteraied that the board expected no difficulty in dlsi)os- ing of the coffec to marxst dealers. The idea originated several mcnths ago | in New York with H. C. Winans and William H. Hamilton, cofiee merchants. The board has another deal or plan under consideration. It worked on it several hours yesterday before an- nouncing that its detalis were not ready for publication. There was no intima- tion of its nature. Stone's only comment on the state- | ment of Gov. Huey P. Long of Louisian: asserting that his plan or prohibiting | cotton growing next year would in- crease the price to 20 cents within three | weeks was: “If he can do it I am for him.” Seek Cotton Plan.
