There has been so much talk about the starvation conditions threatening Europe that similar, and apparently worse, conditions in China have received little notice. Of course, the hungry Chinese wouldn't object to the lack of publicity about their plight if they were getting a reasonable amount of food to ease the ache in their hollow stomachs. But it seems that they are not. In fact, China has the biggest food problem of any nation and no less than 16 million of her people are in danger of starvation. What makes conditions there doubly desperate is that China is now getting the short end of the deal in food just as she did in military supplies during the war. Dr. T. J. Tsiang, director general of the Chinese National Relief and Rehabilitation Admistration, says that his country needs one and one-half million tons of rice for survival. TREASURE HUNT Thirty million dollars in Aztec gold, buried four centuries in the hull of a broken Spanish treasure ship—buried under 24 fathoms of ocean water and a king's curse! It's the perfect thriller treasure story of the ages, with its climax at hand, according to deep-sea divers who have located the galleon Santa Rosa off Key West. In June of 1520, the Santa Rosa sailed from Mexico for Spain with the treasure, which the ruthless conquerer Cortez had wrested from Montezuma, the Aztec ruler. Legend has it that Montezuma placed a terrible curse upon the stolen riches! In that month, perhaps on the same day, the Santa Rosa went down and Montezuma, wounded and embittered, died. Discovered after 426 years, the gold still seems to bear the Indian king's curse: that it would never enrich the white man! Thirty millions in gold would have constructed a new city at a cost of $1000. From a point on the near Mr. Kip's house city, a distance of the Santa Ana river school house. This made necessary by making upon the river tlers during the past its completion to supply, the water c rely upon an abundance at all times. On Monday last, charter election of Anaheim took place.

Dr. T. J. Tsiang, director general of the Chinese National Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, says that his country needs one and one-half million tons of rice for survival. He asked UNRRA for only one-tenth of that amount or 150,000 tons. He got 80,000 tons. Last year he asked for 500,000 tons of fertilizer to make China self-sufficient on food. Only 10,-000 tons were delivered. Rice crops in Burma, Siam and Indo-China are reported to be good or above normal, but rice shipments into China have been curtailed by the British, says Dr. Tsiang, in order to feed India and Malaya. Certainly some means should be found to give the Chinese their fair share of the available rice in the Orient, and to provide them greater aid through UNRRA. The Chinese are a patient, long-suffering people but they get hungry, too. Aheim Gazette, since 1870.
