FOOD SHORTAGE IN GERMANY.
LOCAL BODIES LEFT "IN THE LURCH,"
GOVERNMENT DECLINES RESPONSIBILITY FOR
CONSEQUENCES
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received January 29, 9.20 a.m.) COPENHAGEN, January 28.
At a meeting of the Town Council of Neukoeln (a Berlin suburb) Herr Hertmann, a Socialist, in protesting against the Government further diminishing the potato, bread, and flour rations, said that it was impossible to live on two kilograms of potatoes weekly. It was now proposed to reduce the amount to one kilogram and a-half per 10 days.
The director of the Neukoeln food office states that the supplies are short and quite inadequate for the workers. Hundreds demand food, which he is unable to supply, as the Government has left them in the lurch and has declined responsibility for what might happen.
