Shortage Of Cereals

Acute Situation In North China

PEIPING, Jan 14 (Reuter). A growing shortage of cereals is creating a serious situation in North China.

This shortage is due parily to the floods in summer and partly to the sliortage of railway freight cars. But it is worsened by the arbitrary price Axing and commandeering of stocks by the Chinese and Japanese au- thorities.

Typical "Racket"

Mr. Hoover declared that the prin- cipal leader is among the arrested. He is John F. Cassidy, leader of the Christian Front, who was addressed by his followers as "The Fuehrer.'
