SIGNS OF FAMINE
GREAT DISTRESS IN POLAND FOOD AND FUEL SHORT BRIBERY AMONG NAZIS (Offlclal Wireless) (Received Feb. 21, 3.15 p.m.) RUGBY, Feb. 20 A special correspondent of the Times says that the lack of food and fuels in Germanised Poland borders on catastrophic. The theft of fuel during transport is resulting in short deliveries. Distribution is under the control of German officials, among whom bribery is rampant. Signs of famine have appeared at Warsaw, where three-quarters of the population are subsisting on potatoes and cabbage, with no bread and no fats.
Relief organisations are providing 250,000 meals daily.
