Observers are recalling the
opinion recently expressed by
high German military experts
that "you may be able to end
war on bread ration cards, but
YOU cannot start war on them.
A survey of the continent shows
that the drouth has so far chiefly
hit Britain, France, Switzerland,
Central Europe, the Balkans,
Northern Italy and Morocco. iol,

Northern Germany are so tar
comparatively unaffected, while
it is still too early to gauge the

British government expressed the
view that grave crisis. might
arise in some countries like Ger
many, which already experiences

dry period continued long. y.
The drouth began to damage
the young wheat, though less than
was generally believed because
the December rains, with the sub,
sequent cold weather, retarded
the crop.
Already foreseeing a poor crop,
the Italian government recently
issuea q decree requiring tn use
of at least 10 percent OF mare
or rice in all italian bread. Whiie
actual figures are not available
it is generally believed that the
unreasonable cold has seriously
damaged the fruit crop, pafticu-
lar in Northern Italy.

shoots of wheat, rye and maize
are slightly withered, but the

FRANCE LESS WORRIED

its wheat requirements, ralntai,
for February, March and April
was greatly below normal.
Although the crops had not
been seriously affected by the be-
ginning of May, the French MN
istray of agriculture said that the
situation might become dangerous
