Berlin; Nov. 24. (Reed. 9.30 p.m.J

Delbruck, Minister for the Interior in the Reichstag Avhen replying to an interpellation regarding dear meat declared that the restrictions on the importation of -cs'Ue and meat could not be removed simply to meat ■the requirements of the Home market, indeed it was all the more reason why they_ -should retain them, because it was owing to slight export capacity that foreign cattle rearing countries, could be taken into consideration for import purposes.

The most effectual preventative of a real meat famine lay in 'the protection of Germany's ever increasing stock raising.

Herr Scholemere remarked that the increasing price of meat in the greater part of Europe indicated how necessary it was for Germany to become, independent of foreign supplies.
