that within a few weeks measures will

Lord Crawford said that Austria was
being fed partly by supplies from British
army sources and partly by supplies
from Italy. while a large quantity OF
bacon and condensed milk was being
sent TO Germany by way OF Rotterdam.
The German mercantile tonnage. he
added was estimated at 1000 900 tons.
and up to the present not single ton
had been delivered TO allied ports. The
tonnage had n good bit to do with the
food situation. Lord Crawford empha-
sized that the Allies had only enough
tonnage TO meet their own requirements.
The Supreme Council was aware OF the
seriousness of the situation In Europe.
and It was hoped that emergency meas

OF the German mercantile marine.
