ANIMAL FAT FOR WAR INDUSTRY
PLANS FOR CONTROL IN ITALY ECONOMY MEASURES IN GERMANY United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received January 3, 6.30 p.m.) ROME, January 2 A law which came into operation on January 1 will take Italy’s economy campaign a long step forward. The Army Service Commissioners are empowered to commandeer all animal fats of carcases killed or imported to Italy.
The official gazetter explains that the law was promulgated after a Council of Ministers by Signor Mussolini's order owing to the urgent necessity to give them to war industry. Animal fats in future will be distributed among the manufacturers of war material who need them. Butchers falling to send fats from the slaughterhouses are liable to from one to three year’s imprisonment, plus a fine of £3O. Retailers selling fat may be sent to gaol for three years.

The paper adds: "Supersensitiveness cannot be taken into account as a result of unnecessary waste.”
