■Italy la In a tight npot.
The real danger la in. France,
Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Nor
way and German-ocenpled Po
land.
; Factor* malting for famine are:
1. Lnet winter was severe, fol
lowed by a cold, wet spring and
crop-destroying floods.
I 2. Mobilization took peasants
off farms, leaving women and
children for labor.
3. Actual fighting destroyed
crops.
4. Conquering Germans live
off and milk Invaded countries.
5. Communication and trans
port 18 disrupted, hampering
greatly food distribution.
6. The British blockade keeps
Imported food from continental
BJurope.
TTheat Crop Bdow Average
The prospective wheat crop of
Europe for 1940 Is about ten
million tons below the average
consumption. The prospective rye
crop is 3,500,000 tong off. The
barley crop Is 2,750,000 tons to
the bad. The oat crop is a minus
of 2,500,000 tons and the com
crop is 3,250,000 tons short,
while potatoes wlll^be short by
2,000,000 tons. ’

but this can be covered by grabs —
from occupied lands, by purchases
from Danubla, by substitutes, and
by stocks In hand.
The neutral countries will have
a wheat shortage approximating
20 per cent. The deficit In the
occupied territories—and this Is
the famine danger point—will be
about 40 per cent.
In some aspects' the feed grain
situation la better than that of
bread grain, but the geographical
distribution Is worse. In Den
mark, Holland. Belgium, France
and even In parts of Germany
the situation Is serious.
In peace times much feed grain
and oil cake has been imported.
The British blockade has stopped
that. Result is that flocksi and
herds will have to he reduced.
This means for a short time an
abundance of meat, tkit with a
following shortage of meat, but
ter, milk and dairy products.
Nazis Better Off Than Most
Nazi Germany is likely to es
cape the famine, according to an
analysis of the German food
problem by experts of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
The Germans have achieved 80
per cent food self-sufficiency.
They have nearly complete self-
sufficiency in sugar, poUtoee,
•bread grains, cabbage, carrots,
plums and cherries.
Their chief lack is meat and,
particularly, edible fats and oils.
Norway, Denmark, Holland.
Belgium, ' northern France, Ger-
man-occupie'i Poland — in all
these there is reported a serious
lack of food.
The .American Red Cross and
other American relief agencies
are ready to feed the hungry In
those conquered countries when
the road is clear. ^
Here war policy enters. No
body in Washington knows defi
nitely what Britain will do. The
intention is to starve Germany
and Italy of food and raw mate
rials and to prevent their trading
abroad.
The government may not be
willing to let foodships carry sup
plies to the needy In Geraian-oc-
oupied territory. If Britain main
tains the blockade, the Germans
will have to share ihelr food supt
piles with the conquered peoples
or let them die.
The German people are great
pork eaters. Reports to the U. S.
Department of Agriculture show
that January 1, 1940, Germany
had 25,200,000 .pigs, on Increass
of 7 per cent over 1939. But In
creased feeding of pigs with
household garbage Indicated Ger
many’s trouble—lack of feed
stuffs for food animals.
The same thing hampers their
raising of cattle and sheep. Ger
many had 19,900,000 head of cat
tle at the beginning of 1940, an
Increase of 4 per cent over 1935.
In recent weeks the German meat
situation has been eased by the
killing of cattle and pigs In Hol
land and Denmark.
Italy Loses ‘Battle of Wheat” i
