$MJk t Caf&al JolfBal, Ffi., May ,; "1957 A Haiti's in Bad Way; 4 Million Living on Soup PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti liB- Haiti is in a bad way and many of the country s four million cm zens are subsisting mainly on a meatless soup made with wild pineapple as the basic Ingredient. Millonis of dollars worth of food gifts sert from the United States have not been sufficient to ease the demand for food in rural areas. The m:e of rice and beans, top staple foods, jumped 20 per cent in two weeks. Five months of political crisis and sporadic political strikes, plus poor growing conditions, have Intensified the situation. President Maurice Tclcmaquc of the National Bank of Haiti says the government owes the bonk 18 million dollars. "The government will have to cut down on ils spending very sharply," he told this reporter. "Thats the only solution to pre vent financial collapse. The Na tional Bank of Haiti is unable to help the government , further fi nancially." Asked about frequent reports that the government treasury is about empty, Telomaque said he had no figures "but there's not very much money." The circulation of money has dropped ID to 20 per cent. Sales In business have declined 20 to 70 per cent. Overseas suppliers' are refusing to ship vital goods until merchants' unpaid bills are satis fied. Some steamship companies have embargoed shipments to Haiti. Revenue from tourists has taken a deep dip. Beck Jr. Pal Out With Car VANCOUVER, B.
