Big Shortage of Food
Prospect in Tientsin

TIENTSIN, China Jan. 20 (P).-
Only the barest food supplies were
on hand in the British and French
concessions today as housewives and
servants crowded markets to buy
up provisions at doubled prices
amid fear of the worst shortage in
more than seven months of jap
anese blockade.
Import of all food to the foreign
controlled areas was banned as the
japanese again electrified the block
ade barriers and heightened other
measures which first went into ef-
feet June IA, but gradually had been
relaxed.
Although the blockade was newly
clamped down following expiration
of the Japanese-American trade
treaty and the British seizure of 81
Germans from a Japanese liner
Japanese said it was due to "activi-
ties of anti-Japanese elements with
In the concessions"
To help meet the situation the
British council rescinded a regula-
ton fixing the price of flour. Holders
of flour had refused to sell at the
fixed prices because their stock re-
placements would have cost double.
AS a result, flour again was avail
able, but British and French con-
cession authorities were fearful sup
plies of other foodstuffs, already
selling at 100 per cent price in
creases, might be exhausted.
japanese sentries stopped the
thriving business of Chinese gar
deners who formerly threw their
produce over the barriers to ac-
completes inside.
The effect was aggravated by the
approaching Chinese New Year,
when Chinese buy extensively for
feasting and when business nor
mally is suspended several days.
The blockade began as an effort
to force British authorities to sur
render four Chinese wanted on ter
rorism charges and to win other
concessions. Although the Chinese
have been given up, the remaining
points at issue still are unsettled.

Congress
Continued From First Page.)

gressional economy drive, plus the
uncertainties Of European war, made
1t inadvisable to try to add that sum
10 the Agriculture Department ap-
preparation bill which will go before
the House tomorrow.
Chairman Jones of the. House
Agriculture Committee, who has
been an active proponent of parity
payments, commented:
1T may be that developments will
force prices up to a point where
parity will not be needed as badly"
parity payments are designed
to iaise a farmers purchasing
power to the 1909-14 level)
Parity Omitted in Budget.
President Roosevelt omitted parity
payments from his budget recon-
mendations. but once more asked
for $500, ,000, 900 fund for soil con-
servation benefits, a figure which
Congress has approved with little
debate for the last five years.
He suggested $781 600, 900 for all
Agriculture Department activities
for the next fiscal year. Congress
voted about $1,000, 900 900 for the
current year, but that included
$225 ,OO0, 900 for parity payments and
about $200,000,0O0 for road funds
which under the Presidents reor-
ganization program, will be in an
other bill.
1t was understood that the House
Appropriations Committee. which
has slashed more than $4,000 900
from the Presidents budget recon-
mendations on other bills, would
continue its economizing when it
approves the farm bill tomorrow.
The subcommittee which wrote the
measure already is reported to have
cut more than $70000,O0O from the
measure.
Many members have argued that
expenditure reductions are prefer
able to additional taxes or an in
crease in the present $45, 900 600, 900
debt limit.
Defense Sums May Be Cut.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illi-
nois told reporters that defense and
other outlays might be curtailed
suf1lciently to permit additional farm
and unemployment benefits.
There is going to be a determined
effort to decrease the $1,000, 900 900
national defense estimates" Senator
Lucas said. That seems to be about
$400 900 900 or $500, ,0O0, 600 more than
Is necessary"
Majority Leader Barkley told re-
porters the Senate was making a
sincere effort to cut down Federal
spending.
If we don't do it." he said. I'VE
will have to raise new taxes or
increase the debt limit. Neither
OF those alternatives would be pleas
ant"
Representative Differ of Pennsyl-
varlia, chairman of the Republican
Congressional Committee, said in a
statement that Federal economy
would be the foremost issue in the
November elections.

Church Is Equipped
To Lead Way 10
Peace, Is View
Fitted to Deal With
Present World Crisis,
Cathedral Speaker Says

The church 'is equipped to lead
the way to a just and lasting peace
for the world, based on human
brotherhood, declared DR.. Spencer
Miller, jr., consultant on industrial
relations to the national headquar-
ters organization Of the Episcopal
Church, New York, In speaking be-
fore congregation yesterday after
noon at the Washington Cathedral.
'The church." DR.. Miller said, "is
builder Of religious attitudes, of
social attitudes" and as such Is
fitted to deal with the present world
crisis" he explained.
"The church is trail breaker, Z"
he continued. Social service be-
gan with the Good Samaritan on
the Jericho road. Historically it
has been pointed out that prac-
tically all of the great movements
for social advance began in the re-
ligious communities or under the
impulse of religion. The hospital
began in the religious orders. Man.
ual labor was raised from a menial
task to a vocation of genuine dig
nifty by the monks of the Benedic-
tine order.
Upon the implication of the su-
preme value of human personality
as proclaimed by the church, q So
ciety based on slavery gave way to
a society based on citizenship" DR..
Miller said, adding:
when Christ took a little child
and set him in the midst of the
elders, He gave the impetus to edu-
cation as the universal privilege OF
all children. He declared war upon
disease and contagion and under
that impetus a world wide movement
for the elimination of disease has
been carried on. He gave impetus
to healing arts. He laid moral
judgment against exploiters and
racketeers. BY His crucifixion and
pardon of the criminal on Good Fri
day it became impossible to say that
prisoners were irredeemable. In the
Sermon on the Mount Christ laid
the ghost of any effort to organize
the world community on any other
basis than that of good will"

Mr.. Lewis recommendation that

Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America, told the convention there
has never been a major disagree
ment between the u M. w. and
Amalgamated officers in the past.
l am confident there will be no
major differences in the future"
Mr.. Hillman did not refer directly
to his Saturday statement indors-
ing President Roosevelts admins
tration as beneficial to labor-after
Mr.. Lewis had broken with the
New Deal, asserting it broke faith
with its union supporters.

Modern Menus
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
 NEA Service Staff Writer

Adolescent children need large supplies of vegetables. So does every hungry person who wants to achieve vigorous health. Your food budget must allow for four servings or more every day of vegetables or fruit.
 Select a vegetable rich in vitamin 0, such as cabbage, tomatoes, greens turnips. rutabagas, for one of the vegetables. Also a yellow one rich in vitamin A and iron, such as car- rots, yellow squash, yellow turnips and sweet potatoes. These are low cost sources of essential nutrients for sturdy youngsters. Dried beans, dried peas, peanuts and peanut but ter are valuable low cost foods on the limited budget, too.

Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

The day that you finish your work at the office so tired that you could go home and go to bed instead of keeping that important date - try the routine Lucille Fairbanks fol- lows when she leaves the set of Fugitive From Justice" feeling the same way.
 First thing Miss Fairbanks does when she gets home is step into the shower. No soft little gentle spray for her. She turns the water on full force first the hot water, then the cold.
 That in itself goes long way to- ward taking away the tired-out feel ing.
 Then the young actress takes a critical look in the mirror. If there are any struggling ends of hair that need attention, she dampens them, makes pin curls and ties net tur- ban about her head.
 After that she sips cup of hot lemonade, wraps up in a soft robe and lies down without a pillow-to enjoy fifteen minutes of complete relaxation.
 On her face is cream. On her eye lids are pads moistened with first warm water and then cold water. ASTRINGENT PEPE
 UP THE SKIN
 When her cat-nap is over, Miss Fairbanks removes the cream from her face with a pad saturated in iced astringent. That peps up her skin and leaves 1t ready for make up of cream rouge, a light film of powder. lipstick and mascara.
 To make her lashes sparkle, she dips tiny brush in olive oil. and brushes her lashes when she is sure the mascara has set.
 Her final step before getting in- other clothes 1t to apply 6 fresh coat of nall polish. When she takes last look at the mirror, she not only looks, but feels rested and refreshed.
