FOREIGN MINISTERS DISCUSSING PROBLEM
BRITAIN FULLY GfINSCIOUS OF SITUATION r - •' i ■ i ' (GRec. 10.15 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 12. “ The British Government is fully conscious of the critical situation produced in the British zone in Germany through the slowing up during the last three months of grain deliveries from overseas,” said the commander-in-chief. of the British zone, Air-
Marshal Sir Sholto Douglas, upon his return to Berlin from London. He added that discussions about Germany were proceeding among the Foreign Ministers in the United States. “ Food imports occupy a prominent place in those discussions, and until we hear the result of them it is impossible to state the long-term food, programme for Germany.” He declared that rationing in the British zone would be maintained at the present level of 1,550 calories a day until December 9. “It may be necessary in some places to substitute other foodstuffs, such as potatoes, sugar, and biscuits for part of the bread ration.” Senior Military Government officials at a Press conference in Dusseldorf said Dusseldorf had only enough bread to last three and a-quarter days. It was impossible to honour the bread ration in all bakers’ shops.
