Deadlock at Food Parley on world crisis plan
Washington April 18. A British Canadian American deadlock over how to ease the world food crisis delayed an order to curb U S bread and flour supplies. The Combined Food Board failed to agree on how to allocate wheat and flour to famine areas. Officials said Britain and Canada could cut deeper into reserves and the U S would likely cut 25 percent but signatures were withheld pending joint action. Britain offered diverting 27 million tons of bread cereals if replacement was assured. Canada and the United States questioned authority to promise replacement. The stalemate continues as famine measures are urged.
