BETTER HARVEST IN EUROPE
(British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 24. Asked in the House of Commons today for the latest available information concerning the food supply actually available to the civilian population in European countries now occupied by the Germans, Mr. Dingle Foot, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare, replied: "Largely owing to the mild winter, the bread and grain harvest this year in' till European countries now under German occupation has been larger than in .1942, It is improbable that there has been any falling-oil' in the potato or sugar beet, crops and reports from Poland and Yugoslavia suggest a larger sugar beet harvest than in 1942. "Tlie decline in the output ol meat, milk, and butter still continues but esS rapidly, and the shortage of butter should to some extent be offset by g .iter supplies, of vegetable oils resulting from an improved rape seed crop n France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Czechoslovakia.”
