Second HOOVER
FEEDSAUSTRIA
Gruenberger Tells How He
Battles Food Scarcity in
Europe
NEED COAL TO
START INDUSTRY
By MILTON BRONNER.

LONDON-"If the great powers OF
the west only will help Austria
through the present. she will manage
once more to stand on her own feet
buy food and coal. and export goods
that all the world wants"
This message was given me by the
Hoover OF Austria DR.. Alfred Gruen-
berger. who came with the Austrian
chancellor TO lay Austria's case be-
fore the supreme council OF the al
lies. Not only does Gruenberger
know Hoover well. but their careers
in some respects are similar.
Gruenberger Is faced with an
empty national cupboard and must
manage to fll IT,
In order TO get by. VIC have TO
ration everyone very strictly.
"Our bread ration to each citizen
each week is one loaf OF bread
weighing ~ ounces.
in addition. for cooking purposes,
we allow ration OF about 17is
ounces OF -four per week per head.
I'VE allow a ration per week per
head OF about AZ ounces Of rat and
the same amount OF meat.
we also allow a ration OF about
"a ounces OF sugar per head per
month.
III people can get fish or eggs or
poultry or fresh fruits or vegetables
we do not attempt TO regulate that.
When I say rations. l mean that
IS what people are allowed to buy.
Let me explain how Austria has
come to this pass.
THE treaties have carved up ths
Anstro-Hungarian Empire
THE best OF our former food land,
have been given to Jugo-Slavia and
Roumania. We similarly have los
our coal.
Now the present Austria need
/ for its life coal and food.
But our money is way down II
the worlds marts A dollar used e
/ buy s kronen. Now IL buys 700.
You can see what am up agains
when I go out TO shop for a natioi
and want TO buy food.
Therefore. one OF the first requi
sites. II the allies don't want Austrii
to die. is to help US stabilize ou
currency.
Give us coal and we can start on
Industries. Give us food and we cal
feed our workmen.
ITO live. Austria must be able Z,
start her factories going. The pres
ent Austria has few grain fields o
coal mines. our life must be base
upon industry"
