RAW MATERIALS
TRICKLE REACHING GERMANY FROM JAPAN. FOOD SITUATION IN REICH. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, July 22. According to information available at the Ministry of Economic Warfare, a critical period in the German food situation should come in the spring of 1943. The raw material situation, however, has been somewhat relieved by imports from Russia. Manganese has arrived from the mines at Nikopol, and is lessening the strain on the iron and steel production. . A dream of Axis strategists always has been the effect of a junction between Japan and Germany, whereby those things in which their resources, are complementary could be exchanged. It is now known that some contact between them has been made, probably through long sea voyages. A trickle of raw materials from Japan has reach-, ed Europe since Japan entered the war. This has probably taken the form of rubber in small quantities, but even this small relief must be welcome to Germany. The future of this link depends upon military events.
