SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, June 23.
Missionaries of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mor
mons) returning to the United States
from foreign work, in their reports
to the church tell stories of desper
ate food scarcity in parts of Europe.
Although food scarcity among the
nations allied with Germany and neu
tral nations is well known, the re
turning missionaries bring detailed
stories describing the condition as a
tragedy.
Carl T. Peterson of Logan, Utah, re
cently returned from Sweden, and E.
L Otteson of Spanish Fork, Utah,
just arrived from Norway, said that
the bread problem in these countries
appeared critical. Long lines of wo.
men and children, waiting for hours
with their food cards and often turned
away in fainting condition with empty
hands because the supply gave out,
were a frequent sight, according to
these men.
foreigners, especially in some parts
of Norway, Mr. Otteson said, were
asked to leave, the government offi
cials declaring there was no food.
One missionary statod that he saw
in Christiania 12,000 people standing
in line for allowances of potatoes,
six pounds to the family, and the sup
ply was exhausted before one-half of
them had been given their allowance.
Wood pulp was being used in 25 per
cent, proportions in much of the bread,
along with a mixture of various wheat
substitutes. •
Only six Mormon missionaries are
left in Norway, where there were for
merly as many as 120, according to
Mr. Otteson. Twelve are left in Swe
den, of whom ten are now due to
return to the United States.

ITOKIO, May 6 (by mail).—One of
the reasons which may have exerted
tm considerable influence in restraining
■ Japan from taking military action to
3 prevent the Germans from ovor-run
H ning Siberia, was the extremely se
I rious food problem here. The price
I of rice has risen by leaps and bounds,
■ and all other staple foodstuffs have
■ followed closely. This is in part expli
I cable as due to increased cost of
I transportation and the abnormally
■ dry and cold winter which seriously
■ cut down the supply of green vege
■ tables, but it is generally understood
■ that increased cost of living in Japan «
■ is due to profiteering.
B Against any attempt Jhat the govern
B ment has made to stop this the great
B Seiyukai party seems to stand firm.
B It has its backing in large capitalis
B tic interests w-hich are definitely op
B posed to any government mobilization
B of industry or even food supplies. In
B the large profits that are being made
B the labor dnss, to a considerable ex
B tent, have shared and are able to com
B mand a higher rate of earning which
B enabled them to live. This check
B on marine transportation constitutes
B the second mighty reason. It would
fl affect, not only the common people, on
B the side of their food, but would also
||| put a definite stop to business pros
Iperity.
