Japanese Lacking
Rice and Fish As
Result of Bombs
Washington, Aug. 1 (U.R)
Allied bombers and shells are
leaving Japan with an increas
ingly serious food situation
which may be an important fac
tor in her final surrender, agri
cultural department officials
said today.
The incessant allied attacks
have greatly reduced the flow
of food to the Japanese home
islands from occupied areas, re
cent reports to the department
show.
"I doubt that Japan would
throw in the sponge because of
the food shortage but it is defi
nitely a contributing factor,"
one official reported.
He pointed out that Japan's
two main staples are rice and
fish.
