FOOD IN GERMANY
NEW DECREES
STILL TIGHTER BELTS
(Received March 12, 10.40 a.m.)
LONDON, March 11
The increased prices which Germany is obliged to pay for raw materials has caused a further tightening of belts, says the "Morning Post's" Munich correspondent. Pure butter is unobtainable. A decree forbids the sale of white flour. Cream is obtainable only on a doctor's prescription, and oranges and olive oil are very scarce. Consumption of fish, which has always been disliked in Germany, is enjoined as a duty to the Fatherland. General Goering's department is drawing up a "consumption calendar," naming particular foods which must be eaten in each month of the year, with the object of economising supplies.- August will be a meatless month.
