HARD TIMES EXPECTED IN FRANCE

TO NATION.
SERIOUS FOOD SHORTAGE
<By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright, (Received This Dav, 11.35 a.m.) LONDON. January 1.
.Marshal Petain, in a New Year's Eve broadcast, said: "1941 must be France’s year of resurrection. We shall have hunger, because the war has robbed us of a great part of our crops and the blockade is depriving us of overseas food supplies, which before the war amounted to six million tons annually. 1 appeal to French ingenuity to improvise means of making up losses. 4 Peasants must drag from the soil everything it contains The workers' lot will be hard. Stocks of raw materials arc dwindling and some industries are m danger of coming to a complete standstill. 1 promise to recognise neither party nor class. 1 appeal to you to get out of social grooves, ruts and prejudices and to discard rancour and mistrust."
