re A °¢ Forecast Of Hard Winter For, Finns Finland Said To Be Facing Lack of Food and Fuel Reliable private advices report. ed that Finland is on the vorge of starvation afte twenfy-six months of fighting for the Axis against Russia, " These reports {Indicated that Finland is at the point of exhaus- tion--her man power drained by huge "casualties, her food supply almost gone and a new Winter of cold and hunger just ahoad, It is not believed that tho Finns aro capable of carrying out any .new offensive action against Rus- sia and it is thought they would do well it they managed to hold their present fighting lines on a defensive basis. ~ The plight of Finland by mid. winter may be-critical, it was sald. The food shortage was sald to have become increasingly acute In the last throo months. < The pre- eent bread ration is about five slices a day of sour, almost in- edible gray loaf. SE Wheat Not opfivered Early this year," these sources sald, tho Germans promised to de liver 75,000 tons of wheat, Aclu- ally, despite Nazl fears that the Finns may bo starved out of the war, it Is sald that only a small part of the promised supplies has been delivered. The bread short. age Is expected to bo more acute this Winter because of a poor har- vest, = Potatoes are reported to bo ale most unobtainable. The meat ra- tion theoretically is ahout a pound a month, but it is almost impos- sible to get meat. The sugar sup- ply is reported to be almost ex- hausted and milk, butter and cheese are becoming increasingly scarce. . R A typic Wl Helsinki restaurant meal costs about $2. It consists of a small dish of herring, a black potato, some carrots and cabbage amd a tiny piece of meat if luck is. with you. A coffee subsiitute made' of roast potato skins is ra- tioned at half a pound a month for each person. The fuel situation is said to be equally critical and one Finnish newspaper has expressed fear that the country may freeze this Wine ter. A Finnish Government offi- cial was quoted as. saying "the whole country will be cold noxt Vinter unless exceptional meas- urce are taken." Manpower Drained There is a grave shortage of clothing and shoes, particularly for children. Supplies of wool and all kinds of cloth are almost ex- hausted and the Finns are said to be vnable to obtain any from Germany, where the short- age also is acufe. The drainage of Finnish man- power is reported to continue un- der Nazi pressure. Reliable estl- mates placed Finland's casualties 'in the two wars against Russia a! more than 100,000 out of a population of 3,800,000. At least 500,000 men are under arms and as a result food production has slumped to record low levels, It is known here that at least ono section of the Finnish popu- lace would welcome an end of hostilities based on the status quo, "but the Nazis are said to have put pressure on Field Marshal Carl Gustav Mannerheim to keep the Finns in the war whatever the cost. Pierre Kept Going | Right To England Pierre of Brittany, aged 17, got a travel permit from the Germans to visit a neighboring Then, armed with his German two- "day pass, he set out--kept on go- ing, right across the channel, via the Atlantic, to London.
