Foreign exchange from the is being drjnvn upon 111 order tq buy butter from abroad, including 20,000 tons from Denmark. The Nazi Press belatedly admits the existence of food difficulties, but asserts that they are only temporary and urges housewives to keep calm. The chief causes of the muddle, says ithe correspondent, are the tariff walls erected in order to secure economic self-sufficiency, the shortage of exchange and exaggerated planning ideas.
