A GRIM SPECTRE
STARVATION NOT FAR AWAY "Dispatch from Vichy: Shortage of medicines, shortage of insulin, shortage of animal livers from which insulin can be made, shortage of quinine, shortage of cotton, shortage of food to make the bones and muscles of the growing generation. News from Norway: General shortage of food, special shortage of fish on which Norwegians have depended. News from Denmark: Dairy stock killed off for lack of imported feed; therefore as in Holland, Belgium and Germany, not enough milk, butter and fats for the most meagre health. From Spain: on the fringes of the Nazi system. Children are dying for lack of proper food. From the Balkans little news, but a certainty of dreadful want. From Western Russia: Grain reaped under fire or not at all, burning farms and villages, shorter commons still for the normally short commons of the Soviet Union. From Japan: The cost of rice going up, wages going down. From Japanese-occupied sections of China: Semi-starvation, in some fought-over northern provinces actual starvation, with possibly millions dying. This is the New Order." —New York "Times."
