B—6 SHORTAGE OF FOD PROBLEN T0NAZS Citizens Begin to Realize They Are Paying for Nationalism. Special Dispatch to The Star. - THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1935, improved. Additional factors tending to support this view are the steady increase in the German population and the position of domestic agri- culture at the production level, which, according to experts, cannot be sub- stantially raised in the near future. It should be added that, although there is a shortage in certain “de- ficlency foodstuffs,” notably fat, it may become more severe this coming Winter than it is today. There is no definite evidence that the situa- tion will deteriorate progressively. Thus there is no reason to believe that, barring unforeseen develop- ments, the shortage will be appre- 3 tend to take @ somber view of the situation. Undoubtedly there is & widespread fear among sections of these popula- tions of a general food shortage. In the capital, for example, voluntary rationing by food shops of butter and pork and queues of waiting customers before these shops have come as unsavory reminders of wartime and the subsequent inflation period. In Berlin, as in other cities, per- sons unable to get the food are faced abruptly with the fact that they are paylug for an ardent nation- alism to which they may or may not have given active support. Again, which they may remedy in part the deficlencles in specific categories of foodstuffs, or st least urevent the shortages from becoming greater ma- terially. In view of these measures, the pork supply mey improve somewhat in contrast to that of fats. Though it is stated steps are being taken for importation to better the situation with respect to butter, there is evi- dence that the shortage of fats in general will become more acute be- fore it becomes less. The deficiency 1s especially serious in the case of lard qnd margarine, An example of how the list of deficlent foodstufls may be expected to vary is to be had in the forecast for pork and beef. The existing shortage of feed and the increased demand for beef, with the latter a result of the pork shortage, are ex- pected to combine to cause an in- creasing slaughter of horned cattle in the near future.

Yet it cannot be gainsaid that there is much grumbling, Suc- cessive speakers, like Paul Joseph Goebbels and other Nazi leaders who have talked on the food situation, and frequent reassuring articles in the press provide sufficient evidence that the government is taking the situation seriously. As indicated above, there is no prospect of a gen- eral improvement in the near future. The government is taking measures clably more acute in the Winter of 1936-37 than it will be during the coming Winter months. This view at least is expressed by unbiased ex- perts here. The political implicaton of the ex- isting food situation should not be overestimated, but it cannot be ig- nored. Not being in a position to judge for themselves the actual state of affairs and distrusting official re- assurances, the populations of the large cities, including Berlin, wherein deficiencies have been most evident, BE THRIFTY--SHOP KIDWELL’S AND SAVE ON MEATS AND FOODS EXTRA SPECIALS FOR SATURDAY Freshly Killed 28 G L e ) Frying Chickens, Ib.

FANCY TOMATOE BERLIN, October 16.—Above every- thing else the urban population of Germany is concentrating its atten- tion these days on the domestic food situation, which is giving rise to anxi- ety. It should be said at the outset that there is now absolute food short- age in certain foodstuffs, some of which played an important role in the German diet. The most serious is the deficiency in fat, including lard, mar- garine and butter. The other food- stuffs involved are pork and certain other meats, together with fish and dried fruits, and certain vegetables and eggs. The present stringency results in part from the poor domestic crops -of last year, in part from the govern- ment policy of economizing on food- stuffs and imports with a view of em- ploying the meager supply of exchange and for purchase abroad of raw ma- terials, and in part from the govern- ment program of making the Reich as nearly as possible self-sufficient in foodstuffs. The two last-named causes, of course, are fundamental. There is reason to believe that until the time when Germany is in a posi- tion to increase materially her ex- port trade and thus provide means for more ample imports, deficiencies in certain categories of foodstuffs will persist in more or less acute form. Thus it would appear that a consider- | able portion of the German popula- | tion, notably industrial workers and | the lower categories of the white- collar class, must become resigned to Shoe Section Is Headquarters for Buster Brown Official Scout Shoes for Girls and Boys 34 %) Brown Elk Moccasin Toe Ox- fords for girls; in sizes 3 to 8, $5 Brown Elk Moccasin Toe Ox- fords for boys; raw cord soles; 11 to 6 Dress Scout Model Fur-Trimmed COATS Amazingly Underpriced at York Cooking Potatoes, 10 lbs. .___ e POTATOES, small size, Lamb Chops, 1b.
