Rice, which was formerly abundantly supplied from Hunan Province, French Indo-China, is at present retailing at the staggering price of 120 Chinese dollars per 1001 b. American Red Cross relief shipments of 500 tons of wheat per month are far from meeting the requirements, and are encountering difficulty in reaching the affected areas.
