"Cargoes of 12,000 tons of barley were on the high seas en route to Belgium from the Argentine [sic] when the Belgian government, in negotiations with the Combined Food Board in Washington, agreed to divert the grain to UNRRA to meet the extreme emergency in Austria. UNRRA trans-shipped it promptly upon arrival at the Antwerp docks."
