German Victories Have Debit Side
SPECTRE OF FAMINE NEW Y'ORK, April 20. “There is a distinct debit side to Hitler's Balkan victories," said Mr. Claude Wickard, Secretary for Agriculture, in a speech to-day. “Germany's situation respecting fats," he added, “is critical. The Nazis are dependent on tho Balkans for wheat, fats and other food. It is planting time now, but millions of farmers are in the army. “The British blockade is not spectacular, but it works night and day. “Hitler is caged. If he is kept there, the Balkan victories will hasten his eventual collapse because of lack of food. American food, therefore, might decide the outcome of the war."
