The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1914-12-26

Baron Won Schoremer. minister OF
agriculture of Germany put 10 flight
the idea that Germany can be forced
into submission by starvation. With
his fingers fguratively on the agri.
cultural resources OF the country, Bar.
on Schorlemer went into much detail
i'm attempting 10 prove his assertion,
talking with United Press CORE
spondent, that Germany can feed her
population and her vast armies for
an indefinite period without importa-
lions OF farm products and foodstutIs
"If England thinks she can starye
( Germany into submission. falling TO
conquer us by arms" said the German
minister, she will find she has made
a miscalculatlon. Germany can pro
duce enough food 10 feed her popula
ton for any period the war may last
provided we continue our economizlng
| and elimination OF waste. Germany
will not starve-no, nor half starve."
J No Fear Of Famine.
Baron Won Schorlemer, who has been
! mentioned frequently as the next i'm
perial chancellor, was unusually can
did through his interview. He frankly
admitted that he was not exactly an
I optimist on the food question when
! the war broke out" The first months
OF the war. he declared, however, had
shown that Germany need not fear IA
famine
"In the first place" explained the
minister I'VE have 100000 fewer
mouths TO feed now than In times Of
peace These figures represent for
eigners who have left Germany and
our soldiers who are subsisting of the
i enemys territory They represent a
saving OF approximately 100000 tons
OF grain and 100000 tons OF potatoes
Add to this the great saving and elm
, inntlon OF waste by the people because
Of the war"
Baron SchorlemEr turned TO statistics
gathered by his department showing
average consumption and use OF grain
FOR all purposes He pointed out that
these figures showed that the annual
requirements FOR G,OO0,OO0 persons are
100000 tons OF grain FOR bread and
1926. 900 tons OF potatoes.
