BREAD MADE OF
BARK is eaten
IN FINLAND
Will Be Necessary to Import
America Flour Soon, Says
DR.. Ignatius.

STOCKHOLM, Oct 11-"People In
many sections of Finland are eating
bread made OF rye -four and pine
bark In equal parts" said DR.. Charles
Ignatius, OF Helsingfors today. Bread
rations per capita are only i've ounces
daily and If this inadequate amount Is
to be maintined 1t will be necessary
to import American -four and cereals
within a few weeks.
DR.. Ignatius Is on his way to New
York as a representative OF the Fin
nish government He hopes to obtain
a license for shipment Of 10000 tons
of -four already purchased. The SWed-
ish government has consented TO
transport the -four provided the Unit
ed States will furnish bunker coal
and lubricating oil for Swedish ships
ready to bring 1t.
Potato Crop Low
FINLAND normally produces $4,000
tons of cereals and imports 100000
more" said DR.. Ignatius, but last
years imports amounted to only LOCO
tons and this years harvest was only
100000 tons so that there is a large
shortage. We paid Russia $4,000 600
rubles for grain, but cannot get
pound There Is no recourse but the
United States and II we cannot get
help there quickly it will mean actual
starvation for thousands. and as much
suffering for Finland as for Poland or
Belgium"
The potato crop was below the aver
age, DR.. Ignatius said, and people were
eating oats with the result that they
were selling at 40 times the normal
price. Hay formerly 100 marks a
ton, now sells at 1000 marks, so that
it is impossible for farmers to main
tain live stock.
