PORTO RICO
SUFFERS FROM
LACK OF RICE
SAN JOAN. Porto Kico. Dec. 28.—■ l
Many towns on the island are without
a single bag of rice, and tin? shortage
in many localities has brought about
a condition described by those in a
position to know as bordering on
I famine. I
This food shortage is adding very
greatly to the seriousness of the in
j fluenaz epidemic, and many deaths,
i are attributed not so much to the j
disease itself as to the complications
brought about by lack of food.
Shipments of rice from New Or-!
| leans and other (lulf ports, which are
, now from lour to six weeks overdue, j
probably will bring some relief, but
i in the meantime the island author!*
! ties anticipate much suffering and
j hardship that at present they seem
■ powerless to prevent,
j According to Albert K. Lee, led-'
oral food i ommissioner, and chairman :
of the Porto Pico food commission,
the question now is wholly one ol
transportation, and the commission
h: • considered tin* local situation so'
serious that it lias urged upon the
, I'nited States Shipping Hoard the he
! eessity of immediate relief. Help has
I been promised by the Shipping Hoard
* but so far the local lood commission
has not been advised of the sailing
of any ships bringing rice.
1 For the lirst lime in a year and a
» hall' the food commission has no re
serve stock of rice on hand, ail ol
its stock having been released as
needed in anticipation of the arrival
of the new crop. In order to provide
tlie Ped Cross with rice needed for
tin* relief of earthquake sufferers the
commission was forced to pick up
small lots of rice here and there.
.Many sugar centrals in the Island
emploving large quantities of labor
have been semiring tin4 island for rice
at any price in order to provide food
for tin sick on their plantations. In
many instances they have not been
able to buy a single bag.
Four ships, each one of which was
to have brought rice to Porto Pico,
have been delayed in sailing by
strikes or other causes, or else have
been rushed to Kurope with food sup
plies which are badly needed here.
Whether other ships to take their
pi. < es will be directed here promptly
is a question that is giving many peo*
1 pie familiar with the food situation in
the island very serious concern.
The average consumption of rice in
the island is in ihe neighborhood ol
1: »'• bags per month. Not to exceed
L’fi.nOO bags of new crop rice have
» lar been delivered in Porto Pico.

to the : ' i icti'St economy and saving
ot foodstuffs, and also in the elimina-j
! tion of waste by all of the public eat-1
| iug places of Alaska. While spccitic |

: I’onlinucd conservation of all food '
