HUNGER TREK IN BRAZIL
RIO DE JANEIRO, March 3. The greatest hunger trek in Brazil’s history has been caused by an impending famine in the north-west. Refugees are streaming south towards Sao Paulo at the rate of nearly 40,000 a month. The flow is increasing as continued drought and blistering sun destroy the possibility of crops this year in the north-west. Desperate farm labourers are selling what little they have to pay their fart's south. The authorities will meet this week to study emergency measures to halt the trek.
