"The big problem is to get the rice into the country, under the handicap of very poor transportation facilities, for the railroads are few and in adequate. But as rapidly as the money is received food is being pur chased and forwarded to the dis tressed districts. "Ordinarily there is a crop failure in one or more of the Chinese dis tricts each season. Because there is no source of general information, such as our newspapers, conditions may arise that threaten the exist ence of all, and! yet,remain unknown for months. It was so with the pres ent famifte, when drouth created crop failures in practically all districts of China, and when a realisation of this general condition came too late for precautionary measures. Seed for Crops Needed. "Chinese relief must not only feed the starving people, but must fur nish seed for another crop, as well.
