FOOD IS LACKING IN GERMAN CITIES Minister Says Country Needs Raw
 Materials

LeipSic, Dec. 5---Robert Schmidt istcr, in a speech at the Leipsic fair said Germany Was Sick with two diseases, lack of raw materials and fuel.
 During my visit to the fair build ings," he said. "I heard constant complaints about the lack of coal We have the workers and we have the orders in plenty, we can easily get millions, even billions of orders. But when l asked each individual exhibitor why he did not accept orders he replied invariably that he lacked raw material and fuel. It is true that every effort is being made to force Germany back into an in ferior place, not in the usual way of com petition but through political methods. German trade however, will build it's way in vArld trade for no power can prevent the hunger for goods where it can be advansage- ously satisfied.
 ''People are accusing us of again having recourse to the dumping system. We do not merit this ac- cusation, and I must deny it most cnergetically. l have the hope that in spite of all hindranCes we will soon climb up to prosperity if work and constructive power, raw ma terials and coal are placed at our disposal in sufficient quantities.
 We need the world market. The pressure will be rembveG from Germany, and we will get credit abroad. We must be convinced that we are again to climb. This people is not to be destroyed economically. If all energies revive I hope that we are not at the end of our rope but that the German people will overcome these sad days and that the joyful times will come again. | am building on the never failing creative power of our industry, our technique, art and science.,'
