Relief for Austria Is
W aiting Upon America

PARIS, Jan. 10 Representatives Of
the American mission for the relief
of children have just finished an ex-
animation of school chi4dren IN
Vienna and found, according to dis
petch received by the Austrian deic-
CATION here, that 81 per cent of them
are suffering from lack of food
There is nothing in sight in the
way of relief beyond $1,000 tons
of foodstuFs already delivered in
Vienna, members of the Austrian
delegation say, and, so far as they
arc aware, no negotiations are in
progress looking to a practical sou-
ton Of the problem. Both British
and French officials say they want
to help Austria, and it is the supposi-
tion in Austrian circles that every
thing is waiting upon action in
America.
Chancellor Renner will probably
make another visit to Paris early IN
February to exert a final effort TO
secure relief
