Crop Shortage Hits
Denmark Hardest of
Nazi-He|d Areas
1870 of Winter Wheat
Lost, With Additional
VA Reported Damaged

BY The Assoc ated Press.
LONDON. July 23.-Germany and
azi-conCrolled Europe will harvest
crop IS to 20 per cent below
normal this year and it is possible
shortage of farmhands and rainy
weather may make the deficit still
greater, British American agricuI-
tural experts said today.
In addition. these sources declared
Germany can count on only one
fifth of her normal cereal grain i'm
ports from fertile Southeastern
Europe. on which she has been
banking heavily.
These experts, who would not per
NIT their names to be used, pointed
out Germany had hoped to force
the occupied countries to increase
farm acreage. Instead. these coun-
tries barely held their own because
rf shortages in labor. seeds and
machinery and hence will not be in
position to help Germany unless
the Nazis cOnfscate their food sup
plies and let them starve. it was
declared.
Denmark Hardest Hit.
Denmark is hardest hit of all the
occupied lands. having admitted
officially the loss of IS per cent Of
her winter wheat. while another
1872 per cent was damaged.
In Rumania the wheat WELD is
estimated at 30 per cent below nor
NAL and France will produce 500 900
tons less wheat this year than last.
The conquered portions of the
Ukraine will be no help. for they
have not even been able to support
the occupying German army this
year, it was declared.
Italy, though outside the winter
frost belt, faces a wheat harvest of
about 100000 lonesome $50 900
under normal-and barely will be
able to keep her own head above
water, the experts said.
They asserted that emergency
measures which the Germans al
ready are taking reflect the serious
view the Nazi government holds on
the situation, aggravated bv pre-
carlous distribution due TO the over
loaded transportation system.
Must Turn Over Crops.
Notice has been served that barley
and potato -four must be mixed with
wheat. New DEGREES provide that
farmers must turn over their entire
crop to the government. with the
promise that percentage will be
returned for household needs and
fodder on ration basis.
Heavy fines or prison sentences
face those who hoard crops. and
premiums are offexed for deliveries
within a certain period.
Lack of fodder already has forced
Germany to reduce the number of
her pigs 30 to 35 per cent and indi-
cations are reported that an emer-
gency slaughtering of calves may be
ordered. Cows are protected to
keep up the milk supply.

Britain CenSOrs
News of American
Jewish Conference

New York (JPS-PaIcOr)-
The British Government, ac-
cused last week in the House
of Commons of unique forms
of censorship in Palestine.
has held up cabled news of
the proceedings of the Nat
iOnal Conference of the Unit
ed Palestine Appeal held at
Cleveland on January 18th
18th, it was revealed here by
the PalcOr News Agency.
Interchange of cables with LON
don and Jerusalem, transmission
points for Palcor news coverage,
disclosed that no part of the news
story had been permitted to reach
the Jewish community of Pales-
tine, whose courage in resisting
the Axis powers had been hailed
in messages to the Conference
from such American government
leaders as Secretary of the Navy
Knox, Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Federal
Security Administrator Paul v.
McNutt and American Ambassa-
dor at London, John Winant.
The Conference had urged the
American Government to use its
influence with Great Britain to
grant permission for the forma-
ton of a Jewish Army under its
own name and banner.
Although heavy censorship has
been practiced in Palestine ever
since the war began, this is believ-
ed to be the first time that COM
plete blackout has been imposed
on news of American Jewry's in
terest in the Jewish National
Home.
