The article focuses on the transportation panic in Germany. According to the agricultural organ of the Nazi Party, the German transportation system can no longer be asked to carry millions of tons of potatoes every autumn to distant regions where potatoes are not grown. The agricultural authorities have decreed to save transportation and each province shall raise as many potatoes as it needs. Admittedly the change will affect the quantity as well as the quality of the total harvest, but this will be worsening of the food situation. It goes on to picture the anxiety of the people of Paris, who are well aware of the Germans' intentions and fear that they will starve during the struggle for their liberation.
