Food Federation An- nounces Campaign To Boom Fish As Native Raw Mater- ial.

By LOUIS P. LOCHNER. Associated Press Foreign Staff BERLIN. Dec. 22—(AlP)-Ger-

many decided 0n a fish sale with directions for cooking today and appealed to housewives to save bread crusts to cope with the food shortage and lessen the need for foreign imports.

Franz Huyler, leader of’ the re- tail food dealers federation, an- nounced the campagn to boom ish as a. native raw material which doesn't cost foreign ex- change, and the government is helping by expanding the high seas fishing fleet.

,"Discarded food still is found in

rimge pails, especially" piece."- of

ead"‘ the appeal for con- servation issued through the GcGr- lman News, Agency said. "That must not be.

"Bread must be treated as o. gift from earth. He who throws away bread injures the nation. He who is careful with bread helps se- cure his own and the nation's food ....even the smallest piece can be used."

To further the consumption of fish. training schools will be open- ed for salesmen who “must be able to explain to customers what dish- es requiring little skill are already well known and popular in other countries." I-iayler said.

"A good fish salesman must also be o. specialist. in fish cooking."

As Germany now consumes only 20.2 potlrlds of fish per eaplta un- nually as compared to 42 to E5 pounds in England and Scandina- vian countries, it was ponted out there is a vast firid fcl‘ the fish szllesmexfs educational activity.

Another boon to the German campaign to find new foods was an agreement by the Krupp Works, armament; manufacturers. to supply great quantities of onlurs. Krupp

ilruisers To Be Made Anti-Aircraft Strips

LONDON’. Dee. zz-aaro/firent Britain and Japan made naval moves today with the close ap- proach of exprution o.‘ the 1922 Washington and 1930 London Naval Treaties on Jan. 1.

Britain decided to convert five over age cruisers, saved from the scrapheap, into “anti-aircraft ships.’ This creation of a new type of ves- sel from the old was interpreted in naval quarters as new proof of the British concern over possible air attacks.

Japan, in answer to Britain's move in retaining the cruisers. said it would invoke the escalator clause of the i930 London Naval ‘Treaty to retain a. oorrespondmg tonnage of over-age submarines.

Britain's retained cruisers, which under the treaty would have had w be, scrapped by Dec. 3i, total ap- proximately 19'000 tons.
