RED GRAIN FOR NAZIS
EXPERTS UNIMPRESSED SOVIET NEEDS ITS CROP LONDON. Oct. 26. The doubts of agricultural experts about the quantities of grain that the Germans boast they will receive from Russia are based on reports in Russian newspapers. Tiie newspapers describe the harvest as satisfactory in 25 districts, but Pravda mentions the “critical situation" on the collective farms. Pravda's Central Russian correspondents report that threshing on the collective farms is going very badly, and that only 80 per cent so far have threshed. Experts express the view that Russia needs all the grain that she can produce, and that any export of corn will be “hunger export" at the expense of the Russian population, and is therefore unlikely to be carried on for long without' serious disturbance of Russian agriculture and a Shortage of food.
