Surplus For Red
Cross At Cut Prices
Washington ? Henry A. Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture, announce*
lhat an arrangement ha* been work
ed out under which the Red Cross
will obtain American surplus food
supplies for war refugees in France
at about half the market cost
Plans already have been made, be
said, for the Red Cross to purchase
5,881,000 pounds of wheat flour, 1.
250.000 pounds of corn meal, 750.000
pounds of lard. 800,000 pounds of
raisins. These commodities will be
included in the cargo of a ship which
the Cross Cross has chartered and
which will sail early this month.
? Mr. Wallace explained that by co
operating with the Agriculture De
partment the Red Cross would be
able to purchase much greater quan
tities of surplus foods with its avail
able money.
The arrangement provides for ex
port subsidy payments by the De
partment of the Red Cross on com
modities it will purchase for refugee
distribution The payments, which
will average about one-half the mar
ket cost, will be taken from funds
appropriated for disposal of Ameri
xan farm surpluses. ?
"While the need for additional food
among the poor families in this
country has not yet been adequately
met, there is an even more tragic
need for some of these surplus sup
plies in Europe," Mr. Wallace said.
"Our surpluses of these specific
food products are such that we can
assist United States producers
through the increased distribution
that will result from this plan, at the
same time that we are making it pas
sible for the Red Cross to accomplish
greater humanitarian ends with its
"Insofar as funds available to us
will permit, it is our hope lhat we can
continue this sort of cooperative ar
rangement if subsequent boatloads of
Red Cross supplies go to the war
torn (
