MUDDLE & SHORTAGE.
FOOD CRISIS IN GERMANY. BUTTER BEING IMPORTED FROM DENMARK. HOUSEWIVES GETTING DOLED RATIONS. (Received Wednesday, 7.10 p.m.) LONDON, October 1. The “News-Chronicle’s” Berlin correspondent says Germany’s, food muddle, accompanied by a shortage of butter, lard, margarine, pork and bacon has culminated in drastic action. Foreign exchange from the Reichsbank is being drawn upon in order to buy butter from abroad, including 20,000 tons from Denmark. The Nazi Press belatedly admits the existence of food difficulties, but declares that they are only temporary and urges housewives to keep calm. The chief causes of the muddle are the tariff walls erected in order to secure economic self-sufficiency, an exchange shortage and exaggerated planning ideas. The peasants, who do not see advantage in a system which does not give them high prices, have started to boycott ' the towns. Meanwhile housewives are queuing up for doled rations. .1
