Threat Of Starvation
Eased Everywhere But
In China, Hoover Says
BY The kssocioted Press

OF TTAWA, June 2s-Herbert
Hoover, in a final report" on his
famine mission to 80 nations, de-
clared last night that the gap be-
tween available cereal supplies and
minimum needs had been closed
anS that, except for China, mass
starvation in the world apparently
has been averted.
Speaking at the invitation of the
Canadian government, the former
President said: "It is at least reas-
suring that if We have continued
cooperative action of the various
nations, mass starvation will be
prevented, with one exception. That
exception is China, where trans
portation to the interior and made
quate organization has rendered re-
lief only partially successful"
I'm other famine areas there will
be suffering" he said, many Of
the old people and the weaker chill
dren will fall by the wayside. Nev-
ertheless. the great majority of the
endangered will be saved"
jap Sut OyOVV,VVV AolAos
Recalling that in March the gap
between available world cereal sup
plies and minimum needs was esti-
mated at II 100000 tons Mr. Hoover
said that on his return from Eu-
rope and Asia in May this gap was
believed to have been reduced to
100000 tons-a gap that was still
fIrfI roIf1oal yr-hi1a ho -iv,
South America.
Prom all these gains," he said, Il
am *happy to announce to you that
1t now seems assured that the tragic
gap can now be closed"
Among the factors that made this
possible, he said, were sharp re-
trenchment in import programs by
the food deficit countries, develop
ment of new sources of supply, sub
stitutions, self-denial in surplus
producing countries, reduction Of
Latin American import require
ments during the crisis months, ex-
panded contributions by the Latin
American countries, decreased sup
plies in the pipeline" to Britain,
better distribution in India and an
early harvest in America.
Mr.. Hoover said that on Canada,
the United States and Australia "has
fallen 80 per cent of the overseas
burden of relief to this greatest
famine In all human history"
Urges Special Steps.
Mr.. Hoover warned, however, that
"the precariousness of the situation
Is not over" and that his report dealt
primarily with the immediate crisis
months until the 1916 harvest is in.
He urged that the new International
Emergency Food Council take steps
to give special aid to 100000 to
100000 children in Europe and
other millions in Asia-a program
which he estimated would require
$500 200, 900 to 400,000,0OO.
The victory over the threat of
mass starvation, he said, was based
on the assumptions that drastic
food regimes" in the food deficit
countries would be maintained du-
ring the crisis months, that food
surplus countries would continue to
sacrifice and that shipments would
not be interrupted.
