potatoes were produced, Germany
took substantial amount of
potatoes to feed her armies.
Potatoes Exchanged.
Then the food situation in France
became acute, and the Germans say
that practically as many potatoes
were returned as had been taken.
The French don't admit this, but
say that even If true, nevertheless
the kind of potatoes returned did
not measure up to the quality of
those taken.
Even German sources concede
that some Of the potatoes sent here
came from stocks in Poland not
especially good. French farmers
were not asked to use them as seed,
but to use their own stocks as seed
or accept seed potatoes from Ger
many.
At any rate, approximately 2OO,-
600 tons of potatoes were received
from German hands by the French,
much of this supply coming di-
rectly to Paris, where their quality
drew complaints not publicly
voiced, of course.
But the potato factor has another
angle. The price had been fixed by
the French food supply administra-
ton at level so low that many
farmers refuse to sell. The farmers

OF wheat from occupied to unoccu-
pied France. In return, the unoc-
cupied zone is being asked to give
up considerable quantities of wine,
| oil, pigs and cattle.
The present exchange schedule
calls for the occupied zone to ship
100000 tons of wheat, 100000 tons
of sugar, 100000 tons of stock feed
and 10000 tons of potatoes.
In return, unoccupied France
would ship to the German-occupied
section 10000 large cattle, 566 900
head OF smaller stock, 100000 pigs
and calves, $4,000 tons of edible oil,
100000 tons of salt, $4,000 tons of
green vegetables, 10000 tons of fruit
and 5000 tons of cheese.
1t doesn't work out as very even
exchange on cash basis, but ne
gotiators for the occupied zone de-
clare that 1t Is in part a matter of
supply and demand, that Southern
France Is in desperate need of grain
and musS be expected to shell out
literally of her own resources in
return.
Goods May Come From Colonies.
1t is likely that Northern French
negotiatorS expect a considerable
portion Of the goods supplied from
Southern France to come from the
French African colonies.
How much grain Germany has
taken from Northern France has not
been disclosed, but well-informed
sources are convinced that the aver
age Frenchman has an exaggerated
idea of the amount.
One usually reliable source said
the amount of grain taken-and not
returned-by Germany would be
about double the amount necessary
to feed the more than 100000
French prisoners now held in
Germany.
Then there is the potato question.
For Europe the potato has become
almost a symbol of food or famine.
That is especially true Of France
and Germany. where, among other
things, the potato moves in to take
the place of bread when that runs
short, as it often does.
French potatoes were good and
the French-fried potato became
known the world around. After the
occupation of Northern France,
where the most and best Of the

complain that the prices of other
food and goods they must buy have
skyrocketed so that their potatoes
bring them little in exchange. So
they are keeping their potatoes for
themselves.
Potatoes BOotlegged.
Many potatoes find their way into
the "black market" where, like the
old American bootleg liquor busi-
ness, trade is clandestine and prices
high.
One good authority insists that
the principal shortage, especially
in occupied France, is due to re-
fusal of the farmers to part with
their goods at the fixed price. But
the danger of spoilage is expected to
force many on the market before
long, and thus bring relief.

PARIS (via Berlin France Is
going to be a hungry nation In the
months ahead.
For this situation she will lay the
blame in about this order: First,
Germany; second, France herself;
third, England, and fourth, the
United States.
To Italy the average Frenchman
will ascribe no part in accounting
for Frances present condition.
The reasons offered for this group
ing are relatively simple:
l. Germany conquered France,
and the French naturally place the
weight of blame on the Germans for
the present shortage of food, indus
trial inactivity and general deJec-
ton.
2. The French have seen the plthy
fabric of their pre-war government
as disclosed by the ineffective Or
ganization for defense. Moreover,
their own food distribution is badly
organized-in part, of course, be-
cause the country is split by the al
most impossible line of demarcation
between the German-occupied and
unoccupied zones.
8. In turn, the French blame the
British, perhaps more publicly than
privately, for enforcing the blockade
against their beaten ally,
4. Finally, there is some relatively
limited amount of criticism OF the
United States for tying up French
funds and preventing large ship
ments of food.
New Living Process Imposed.
Since the defeat, a whole new
process of living has been imposed
on the French. Previously the limi-
tations on food and clothing pur-
chases were relatively light. The
average Frenchman bought about
what he needed.
France is a naturally rich country,
her people generally frugal and her
store of food and raw materials in
preparation for war was considered
good, at least in many categories.
1t could, however, have been even
better
Then came the May offensive of
the German army, the quick occu-
patton of Paris last June, and the
armistice terms-and France be-
gan to see hard times ahead. Until
that time, it is stated by observers
who were on the ground, France
had not really taken the war seri-
ouSly.
AS things stand now, France is
seriously short of food. The Ger
man army in France is eating quite
a lot and admits it.
Except for a considerable with
drawal to Germany of cattle and
pigs, the German drain on the
French food supply is limited largely
to what soldiers in France eat. The
Germans themselves supply por-
ton of the food their soldiers eat.
Vichy Area Short Of Wheat.
One well-informed source esti-
mated that the occupied section of
France-the rich northern provinces
taken over by Germany-has enough
in store to last for-roughly-five
months.
But the southern portion of
France. operating under the Vichy
government-poor in grain land
has perhaps two-month supply.
At present. negotiators for the two
areas-with German representation
included-are arranging transfer

black picture for the coming spring

He cut meat and bread rations for
April and May about 20 per cent
below those for March and the pre-
ceding months, and said still more

France, he said, is so per cent
short of sugar, As per cent short
of potatoes, and the supplies she
used to draw from her oriental
colonies now are largely cut off by
the British blockade.
