Food Situation
Growing Worse

Stockholm, January 31.-Tha food
situation in Sweden is rapidly grew
ing worse. Pork cards will be in
troduced and the extra cards, watch
formerly were provided for foreign
diplomats have been withdrawn, ex-
cept one for each head of a mission.
The export of foodstuff has almost
entirely stopped, with the exception
of meat, owing to the necessity of
slaughtering stock because of the
lack of fodder. Even meats show
a large decrease. In November last
21.2 tons of pork were exported
against 1917 tons in November
1916, and 151 tons Of all other meat
against 972.
The statistics Of Swedish imports
for the first eleven months of the past
year, which are now available, de-
monstratc upon what short rations
the kingdom has been put. The to-
tai imports Of all cereals and flour
were 1860 tons, against 33l,1S7
for the first eleven months of 1916.
Coffee imports were S,l94 tons against
37,413, tea 93 tons against 4SO, all
kinds of animal fodder, chiefly oil
cakes, 33,602 tons against 1922 and
hard coal 100000 tons against
34,500,O00 tons in the first eleven
months of 1916.
