BERLIN.
IT is officially disclosed that Roman Catholic and Protestant churches had been placed under wartime restrictions
Spokesmen say the measures were made necessary by the war and do not constitute an attempt to interfere with the church.
Under the restrictions the number of Roman Catholic church publien- tions, such as diocesan, organs and natural scientiße and religious re- tarch publications, will be limited to live. This was attributed to ration- ing of paper.
Some churches have been closed. These are in outlying sections and it was explained worshippers there could not reach bomb shelters in time in case of emergency.

Private reports from Balkan capitals reveal that Germany's frantic offorts to increase her 'purchases there have largely failed.

She has imported nearly all her promised quota of petrol "and grain until the summer of 1940, and Balkan Governments are asking for cash, as Germany is not manufacturing enough goods for barter.
