is It that the dark hint OF few days ago has

OF food that Americans sent TO them and thu;
remained undstributed when the consus left

tudes have been entirely destitute for these

They have been coming chiefly from New York
and other United States markets. But now IN
tercourse between this country and Cuba IS
practically stopped. And there IS the posi-
bility of siege and blockade. In view Of that
the Havanese are far more likely to husband
their food resources as the lniser does his gold,
than to share them with the Cubans.
1t Is a part Of American policy to rescue tho
