Originally the French gave a formal promise not to interfere with the food supply. Tech nically they have kept that promise ex- cept in isolated instances, where, ap- purently, authority. Practically, however, during the past six weeks the food supply has been continuously * though indirectly hampered by French measures. The seizure of all the main raflway lines and the blocking of many of the secondary lines has made food dls- tribution’ precarious.

Virtually all the difficulties of in- dustries in the Ruhr area are due to the occupation. For instance, there is a shortage of gasoline for motor {trucks.

L T in Germany he told me that America would not stand for another food blockade.” It is credibly reported that the French are beginning to reach the end of the coal stocks. Coal deliver- fes are diminishing, and absolutely no coal is being produced except for immediate needs. The French, when selzing additional mines nowadays, often find that the coal stocks have been mysteriously sold to Holland, | whose government has obtained from France ths privilege of importing coal without interference. The Ger- mans are preparing to send repara- tions coal to Italy with which the French cannot interfere.
