...Otherwise the Nazis looked to be in for it. Seventeen per cent short of food self-sufficiency, the Reich has brigaded its appetite, lived off stored-up peacetime surpluses. It lacks men enough to till its own fields, has had to summon 30,000 agricultural laborers from Italy and import thousands of Polish slaves. Nor can Denmark and Norway be expected to make up Germany's food deficit. Norwegian peasants scrape so little from their rocky slopes that Norway is accustomed to import more than half its food supply. Even Denmark, where agriculture is an industry, relies on overseas...
...Allies, the prospect of wartime hunger, always potential but never too imminent, had grown much more real last week. Though France could always find food for herself (but not for 5,000,000 refugees), she lacked farm hands, was far behind both in plowing and sowing.

S. foreign-trade policy; while trying to throttle exports to totalitarian States, Washington has simultaneously tried to stimulate crop exports too. To serve the latter purpose, the U. S. Export-Import Bank gave Italy a credit of $1,567,022 last June, which enabled her to double her cotton purchases here in the first six months of war. It also freed enough Italian cash to buy other things. From last September through February, U. S. shipments to Italy totaled $43,686,000, 54% more than...
