NEW YORK, July 21.-An extern
sis,. plan for the rehabilitation OF
he famine areas of Armenia. in
(which the government of the Ar
ne aian republic is cooperating, is
ANNOUNCED in cable received at
headquarters of the Near Eass Re-
\ lef here from its representatives in
Transcaucasia.
yhe plan includes agricultural ac-
INVITES and irrigation projects on a
wide scale with American corn grits
Issdri lieu OF cash for meeting ex-
ypenses.
II As an initial step towards the
?, ecution Of the plan. according to
the cable, the Near East Relief has
~ ganced one thousand tons of corn
ygrits to 10000 farmers on condition
that II be used as food until harvest
spds that all barley and other grain
on hand be used as seed. In return
for the corn grits the farmers have
a, ceed to return. after harvest. an
|equal amount Of barley for seeding
nsrposes in an extension OF the re-
! yhabiitationl plan. The Armenian
| government which has eo-operated
I with the farmers in securing seed,
has guaranteed that this agreement
will be fulfilled.
The cable further announced that
| four hundred tons OF grits have been
| allotted to storing and extending
Irrigation systems at Erivan and
Aiexandropol. the grits being given
n exchange for the services OF lab
prers and in payment OF other ex-
psnses. Due to the depreciation OF
he native currency. food and clothes
are practical mediums of exchange
hr general acceptance. Relief Of
|hcials estimate that the four hun
ired tons of grits represent the
|psy OF one laborer for 1850 work
days
The cable also reported that 129,
