Germany ready to surrender fleet for food under German envoy
Berlin reports say Under Secretary Von Braun, departing with the German commission to Brussels, announced Germany is prepared to immediately surrender its mercantile fleet and securities in exchange for a definite food delivery plan detailing amount, price, and payment terms. He cited Saxony’s potato rationing and shortages of milk and butter across cities, worsened by rail strikes and frost, with infants at risk due to limited supplies. In Basel, officials warned Berlin’s insurrection may be suppressed and called for faster disarmament, blaming certain newspapers for fueling violence while praising the core workers of Berlin.
