CL Food Shortage Is ( Acute In Germany Situation Momentarily Forgotten As 3,000,000 Needy Children Receive Toys. j Berlin, Dec. 21 Germanys food shortage was momentarily forgot- . ten tonight when 3,000,000 needy children gathered simultaneously . around 230,000 Christmas trees throughout the country and lustily sang the old German Christmas song “O Tannenbaum.” The children, each of whom re- , ceivcd a shiny toy from Propagan- t da Minister Joseph Goebbels, heard * him enumerate the advantage of ' Naziism. He told the youngsters they be- Icuged “to the fatherland, which not ' only demands sacrifice in an em ergency but gives happiness on fes tive occasions.” He made no mention of the food shortage which has raised the price of fresh string beans to 83 cents and sugar to 14 % cents a pound. Adding to the burden on house v.-ives was a new regulation banning their shopping around for the best prices for fats butter, lard and the like and telling them to con fine their purchases to one groc ery store. Some housewives, fearing a short age of Christmas baking and cook . ing butter, had been buying all they } could get .. thus aggravating the scarcity. Bread made of a mixture of po- I tatoes and bran has appeared, in one of the latest efforts to save wheat and rye. This has created a “vicious circle,” however, for al though the cr'op of potatoes was . good, they are needed for hog i feed. If potatoes are used on a large , scale in bread-making, experts say, [ a further cut in hog-fat production ’ must result, and fat is what is most , needed. i It is understood Dr. Hjamar ’ Schacht minister of economics. , hopes to get wheat from Argentina , in a barter. Part of the country’s 5 wheat needs already have been filled ’ negotiations with Canada and Yu . goslavia. ’ Efforts to obtain rye from Poland [ are reported to have been unsuc cessful. Goebbels addressed the largest children’s gathering in Berlin, at tended. | “Y;Ou children must know,’ the ! propaganda minister declared in his broadcast speech, “that we are again a proud, fortunate and free 1 people. “You must appreciate this more • when you look around the world and find only hatred, disorder and rioting while Germany is a quiet, fortunate island of peace.” o NAZI BOOKS STIR TROUBLE » r Denver, Col.

Librarian Joseph Hare ni duced local consuls of Switzerland, Spain, Mexico, France, Belgium and Germany to have their government donate books of their native writ ers. Germany sent 500 volumes, among them some by Hitler, Goeb fcels and other Nazi authors. Simon Bloom, local attorney, promptly organized a mass-meeting to demand that books of Russian, Swedish, Nor wegian and Danish origin be given shelf-space. The University daily praises the institution’s “broad minded superiority.” o All greeting messages filed on Christmas Day will take regular rates, or a rate of 35 cents when the number of words does not exceed 15. o Manager Davidson announces that he will be on hand until 9 o’clock p. m.
