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. ’ Onei In LIUS «A10 BUUllri. lU LUtf yiiaL nUXKtllU XIII- many and Italy—there Is a prob- . ported more than half of its stock able wheat shortage, compared i The British blockade make? with consumption of 14 per cent, jjjig impossible now. 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 Italy is not as weOl off a« Its axis .partner.

Latest reports are that thing? will be serious all over France until the harvest Is gathered, and this harvest will be greatly be low par. There Is an urgent need for baby food. Including canned milk and sugar. The Petaln gov ernment has appealed to the Ger mans. In Belgium, It is estimated, 2,- 000,000 people are without ade quate food, the bread shortage being particularly bad. There was a great destruction of farms In north Belgium. Cattle died or were seized Wy the Invading Ger mans, milch ccws have gone dry, and in many places crops have gone unattended. Holland dairy farmers have suffered not only from the seiz ure of their cattle and hogs-, but also from the enforced slaughter of animals. This has been caused by the lack of livestock feed- stuffs.
