German Food Self Sufficiency Emphasized At Nazi Rally
Nurnberg, Sept. 8. Walter Darre, minister of foods and agriculture, told the Nazi party convention that Germany is independent of foreign grain and can feed its people from domestic sources. He said the shift of focus from world to domestic markets will prove essential as imports decline and the harvest should sufficiently supply bread and grain without foreign reliance. He added imports of other agrarian products are down while animal fat and some fruits from south Europe rise.
