Famine in Mexico
Committee Reports Increased
Number Of Cars of Cereals
Imported

Reports in the Mexico City press
as we'll as from other sections az
the republic demonstrate the constant
amcl'oratlon OF the scarcity of grain
IN some portions of the republic
through wholesale purchases made in
the United States, as we'll as from
other sources, notably the surplus
crops IN certain Of the states.
Inc Sustenancc Committee, which
was appointed to handle the matter
announced few days ago that \
great part OF the corn that had been
bought by it in the United States
would soon arrive in the city. The
committee reported continuance Of
the purchases of corn in the United
states by its agents, and an increase
IN the number of cars sent to Mexico
with this cereal
1t was stated in Vera Cruz that
large amounts of -four. condensed
milk, etc, mad arrived in that citv
from the United States and that M an
entire steamer load OF supplies was
due from the same place.
Torreon reported confirmation Of
permission to receive corn from the
United States by way of Laredo, and
also that proper arrangements had
been made for the distribution of the
grain where needed.
Several foreign companies have ap-
piled to the American government to
permit them to import corn into Mex
leo for the use of their employees.
This is in addition to the exclusive
permission to bring articles Of prime
necessity into the country - chief
among which is corn.
The Committee on Sustenance also
announces that it will convey to Mex
ico City various other articles of
prime necessity as we'll as corn, such
as beans, lard, -four, etc, and that
the only obstacle in the way of bring
ing in abundant supplies is the lack
Of sufficient water transportation OH
account Of the war.
