FRENCH HARVEST.
Poorest for Over a Century.
PARIS. Jan 9.-The Minister for
Food (M. Tanguy-Prigent) an-
nounced today measures to deal
with France's serious bread situa-
tion.
Pastries, which have only recently
begun to reappear. are now forbid-
den. A special petrol allowance is
to be allocated to farmers for thresh-
ing machinery. Drastic action is
threatened against a "small minority
of slow deliveries" among farmers.
The Minister said that some farm-
ers had not yet delivered their 1944
harvest. They would now have it
requisitioned at the old prices.
Heavy workers would receive a spe-
dal allocation of 13 to 16 ounces of
bread daily.
M. Tanguy-Prlgent added that the
1945 harvest was the poorest for
over a century.
