EUROPE’S FOOD SUPPLY
IMPROVEMENT IN HARVEST RUGBY, Sept. 24 Asked in the House of Commons today for the latest available information concerning the food supply available to the civilian populations of European countries now' occupied by the Germans, Mr Dingle-Foot replied: “Largely owing to the mild winter the bread grain harvest this year in all European countries now under German occupation has been larger than in 1942. “It is imnrobable that there has been any falling off in the potato and sugar beet crops, and reports from Poland and Yugoslavia suggest a larger sugar beet harvest than in 1942. The decline in the output of meat, milk and butter still continues, but less rapidly, and the shortage of butter should to some extent be offset by greater supplies of vegetable oils resulting from an improved rape seed crop in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Czecho Slovakia.”
