"With its President I again visited the country around Caldetas. I came across a very splendid place which oould accomodate 100 « 120 children.

As it was superior to the two houses previously elected I asked Mrs. Sola* to reserve the house for the Committee. I am enclosing a number of post cards. She agreed to make an exchange and the two houses first considered aretherefore out of the question; i‘

s"The place is indeed splendid. The pictures give no idea of the lovely scenery and the gorgeous view of the sea in thefdistance. It used to be» long to the Count of Qneralt together with a big farm. The farm is now eoperated from the villa. The farm~bnildings3 however, arelonly some 50 yards away. oPresently there are no less than 40 cows. The milk all goes to nearby Caldetas which is flooded with refugees and we cannot count on milk supply that way. However, in case of emergency, it is not a bad neighbour to have.‘ »

This is the first copy and had just left the press, which I got the day before I left Earcel0na.g They have promised to send 200 directly to the Committee in Toronto soon. The printing was paid for by the institutions> land private persons listed at the end of the back. 10,000 copies are being . made at 10 pesetas a piece cost or a total of 100,000 pesetas. oIf_you‘want more than the 200 just let hssistencia Infantil know ~ address Paseo de vGracia 76, Barcelona.

"Recently the food situation has changed very mush to the worse in Spain._

as Mrs. Sole pointed out, money is therefore of little value to the colonies. It is food they need. She suggests the money be used to hwy provisions in. France. She would just ask for five things,namely:— Milk, Sugar, Wheat Flour, dried Codfish, Soap. Anything else a colony needs it can obtain through bartering possessing the above, so she says. Feter Rhodes also thinks it is the most logical way to do it."pl

The securing of this home has since been confirmed by the following cable from the Internationale Coordination Committee,— i

From over-seas comes the claimant demand for food supplies.
