HUNGER & DISEASE
ACUTE SITUATION LN PARIS
SOME ATTEMPTED MEASURES OF RELIEF.
ACTION BY VICHY CABINET.
(By Telegraph— Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Dav. 1.5 p.m.) LONDON. January 9. A desperate food shortage is spreading sickness and disease through Paris, says “Le Temps." "Through lack of vital fats, thousands of children are victims of malnutrition and many adults are stricken with serious diseases. Vegetables and eggs are unobtainable in Paris. Butter is a luxury and meat is unfairly distributed.” The Vichy Government has ordered drastic steps to relieve food shortage. A decree orders the requisitioning of food supplies in unoccupied France, the reduction of retail prices and the speeding up of food transport to Paris.
