IJ. S. Shipped Huge
Quantities Of Food
BERLIN, </P> — The Unit e d
States has shipped 1,850,000 met
ric tons of food into Germany
since Victory Day to help support
German ration scales, the monthly
report of Gen. Lucius D. Clay said
,o:' ly. The report added that Ger
man farmers continued reluctant
.o meet their food delivery quotas
.nd !h<u “continued large imjrf*rts
I food will be necessary.”
In February, the last month
which the military governor's re
po t covered, 270,000 tons of food
were imported for the British
American zones at a cost of ap
p r o x i m ately $33,000,000 — or
roughly one dollar per non-farmer
consumer in the comb ned area.
“Failure to meet delivery quo
tas reflects continued serious re
luctance on the part of farmers to
deliver their products though le
gal channels for currency w.tn
which they can buy relatively tew
of the goods needed on farms,"
the report said. Instead, many pre
fer to sell their produce on the
black market or barter it for goods
otherwise unobtainable.
