A i Appeal to the Pope and president five greek freighters have been Roosevelt in the near future far help to prevent the Brave people of Norway Denmark Belgium Holland and France from starving to death is regarded As Likely. The blame for the famine which May reach acute form in two months in Belgium undoubtedly would be Laid by Hitler at the British door. Arguments produced in Landor. State that the British canno sible for these conditions. As the invasion of Poland occurred during the autumn sow ing the food shortage already has been Felt there. The devastation followed by Europe s hardest win Ter in years completed the process. Other european countries usually capable of producing Large amounts of Grain and Dairy products have suffered from the mobilization of their manpower Lack of fodder and fertilizers. Norway already is suffering from the German policy of cleaning out stocks for Transfer to Germany where the fighting forces Are be ing better fed than most armies have been accustomed. Deprived of Grain of which she usually imports about 75 per cent Norway also has suffered from the ruin of her deep sea fishing Industry. One third of Denmark s live Stock has been slaughtered and the pig Industry has ceased to exist. Neither Holland nor Bel Gium had stored Large quantities of foodstuffs and the shortage there As in Germany will be most serious in fats. The French situation is obscure food there seemed plentifully sup plied and rationing has been care Ful but refugees found Little in their trek from the North to South. Stocks May have been destroyed before tha germans reached them. Throughout Europe the yield of Winter Grain is Down at least 25 per cent from last . Not Only in the Danube Basin is the har Vest believed to be going to be a medium bad but the russian is thought also far below Normal. Therefore the possibility that rus Sia will be Able to Supply Ger Many next Winter is not Good. Spain is now being fed though and this on Ruby Street contributed proceeds of a circus.

Since German policy has been to concentrate All the supplies for her armed forces keeping the Ger Man people on Short rations and subjugated Peoples on even less experts Here Are convinced that humanitarian offers by the Western hemisphere would not help the dutch belgians or French unless accompanied by a virtual army of occupation to see that the supplies did not go to Germany. It is Clear that the British Are worried lest the pitiful picture which will be depicted by Ger Man propagandists of a Europe starving will move americans to tremendous Relief measures which can Only in the British View prolong j the suffering of the Vic Tims Obj German aggression and give Germany greater Power.
