Germany Faces Food S h o r t a g e B u t Proudly Boasts Sub- marine Fleet.

(By Wade Warner Annotated Prov! Fonlgn ltaff)

BERLIN, Dec. Ill-Leaders of the Third Reich balanced empty butter plaice with submarines to- day and turned the German eye toward "breitdlines in America."

Proud fingers were pointed to a submarine fleet twice ll Wwtfllll u that of 191d, wwlrd l. highly efficient navy, a nwwrined army and a strong air tome a; visible proof that spartan endurance of the winter's food difficulties is Io- ing to be worth it.

Der Angriff, the man o! Pro- paganda. Minister Goebbels. came out with a full-page showing a. white-haired New York grand- mother. in tatterl, giving thanks with clasped hands for a. Bowery mission handout.

The caption said: “Bread! Meat! Vegetables! Even on apple! It's months since she's had such a meal—ond, afterward, back into the streets to disappear like thousand: like her, until pity aa- ain brings her to a wum fire- side." .

Der Angrifi’ proudly contrasted such thing; with the German win- ter relief: "Based on duty toward our fellow citizens-mot on pity."

Authorities made it known that new submarines already completed or lchcduled to be ready for spring include 24 of 250 tons. 10 of 500 tons, and two of 712 tons, each with six torpedo tubes.

Germany recently launched two OtLOOO-ton battle-hips. Another, of 35,000 tons, is under construction. A fourth i; planned. There is a 19,250-ton aircraft carrier, withi another contemplated, and three, ; ,, 10.000-ton cruisers. n51‘? kllalfigltyoltrggipeihraligrskus u:

HAVANA.
