FOOD IN LONDON
GERMAN PROPAGANDA
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, October 3.
German propagandists are spreading reports throughout the occupied countries that the machinery for distributing food in London has broken down. The purpose of these reports is somewhat obscure, unless it is an endeavour to discount the Nazis' own inability or refusal to carry out an equitable food distribution for the populations for which they are responsible. In fact, there- is no shortage of most food and none of essentials in the London shops. So true is this that those persons whose ordinary shops at which they were registered have been bombed by the Nazis have been given "rover coupons" entitling them to draw on supplies at any other shop. Other supplies are fully equal to the demand, and also the meat ration has recently been increased, showing that there is no difficulty1 about the food distribution in London, which is the main target of Nazi terrorism.
