Aid for Europe Relief Blocked by House
Washington reports at least 20,000 deaths from famine in Europe as relief aid stalls in the House of Representatives. Claude Kitchin and supporters decry Republican delays while urging immediate action on a $50,000,000 relief bill. The United States Grain Corporation proposal to substitute flour for aid is criticized as impractical with no home market and potential spoilage. The League of Red Cross Societies notes the scale of disaster and urges urgent intervention.

De Valera Leads Extensive St Patrick Celebrations in New York
Reports describe Eamon de Valera, head of the Irish government in exile, as central to a large New York St Patrick’s Day festivity. He says he will stay in the United States to seek recognition for Ireland as an independent self-governing state and compares his mission to that of early American leaders. He warns that armed rebellion remains possible if Britain blocks recognition, and notes support from Irish Americans, with plans to visit Chicago next. The article also covers Vienna’s tax levy proposals and political tensions in Austria as a separate brief.
