China To Receive Large Cotton Allotments
ECA Will Purchase Contracts
Washington, July 4.-A high ECA source said today that cotton would be the largest part of the new ECA allotment to, China for the period from July to September. The source said that whereas food allotments to China made up one-third of the first period from April through July, food will be a smaller proportion now. He explained that this is because the harvests are coming in.
The source said in addition that new reliance will be put on improving rationing as provided for in the ECA agreement signed in Nanking. He reveal- ed that no reconstruction nor capital goods will be alloted until the Stillman mission completes its survey, which is expected to be about August 1.
