FOOD SHORTAGE IN JAPAN
AMERICANS MUST USE ONLY OWN STOCKS
Recd. 8 p.m. New York, Dec. 19. While Japanese officials have continued to emphasise the growing gravity of the impending food crisis, the occupation authorities have forbidden American troops to eat Japanese food, and all eating places serving food from Japanese sources have been placed out of bounds. Club messes have been ordered to obtain food only from Allied sources. The order said that the action was taken to prevent, possible civil unrest, and undue interference with the occupation mission.
Meanwhile, official Japanese figures showed that rice collections are only 11 per cent*, of the total assessment.
