of the experts of the agricultural offices of the Reich,
 
the condition of the crops in the countries of Europe
 
occupied and controlled by Germany is to be estimated as follows
 
Wesrern Europe......................................3.2-3.5
 
Northern Europe.....................................3-3.2
 
Eastern Europe......................................... 3.2- 3.8
 
Southeastern Europe.................................Great shortages
                                 in consequence of                                                     the war-probably 4.             
     As a general fiquere, the situation of the occupied
 
areas (without consideration of the Spanish Peninsula,
 
Switzerland, Swedin, Finland and Soviet Russia in
 
particular) with repect to foodstuffs and feeding
 
stuffs would be3.5. Depending on the development and
 
the further course of the war and the weather, this
 
fiquere of 3.5 will become still worse, and perhaps rise to 4.
