STILL WELL SUPPLIED.
NO DANGER OF SHORTAGES.
FOODSTUFFS IN GERMANY.
LONDON, October 16
Authoritative opinion in London is that Germany is a long way off a dangerous shortage of food. Her power to withstand the blockade for a long time is now being admitted. Experts here declare that Germany started with the advantage that she entered the war with the whole of a vast and complicated apparatus for rationing in operation with the population accustomed to queues, inconvenience and grumbling.
Summed up, what the experts believe is that Germany' is in no danger of a food shortage, and the Reich’s complete system of rationing has been a great aid in conserving supplies and building up stocks for the time being. While people grumble they do not protest. In the long run the situation may be different. An actual shortage of food cannot for ever be held at bay.
