A PAGE FOMR . | By Frank J. Taylor. (United Press correspondent.) Feeding more than fifty million Ger- man mouths is the most immediate problem of the new republic. The people expect their new Germany to do wonders in getting food for the hungry, and the uprisings that have taken place have been immediately the results of hunger, though farther back a political cause can almost al- ways be found as the aim of leaders. Germany’s hungry are many, per- haps as many as fifty million, perhaps somewhat less. Owing to the under- ground traffic, or ‘schleichhandel,” as it is called, the best experts in the country do not know exactly how the food situation stands. The starv- ing are of course far fewer than the hungry for Germany is still organ- ized for emergencies. There were authorities who said when the war ended that Germany would be starying completely by March, unless enormous quantities of food were sent in oy the outside world. March is here and there is no evidences of food decreasing or stopping abruptly. The situation re- mains much the same, with out enough food and with the quality poor for the most part in cities, and with prices far over the heads of the poor people. The fact that there is food does not necessarily mean the food au- i thorities were trying to deceive the % world. On the contrary, they were probably honest as far as they knew. But it does demonstrate how little anyone knows as to the actual amount of food in Germany. Nor e does this iIndicate that there is o i enough food, or that Germany does i not need more. During the last two months food has come from many sources in small quantities, but in an aggregate large enough to keep the market good for those who have money, or know how to get supplies. It is not sold in the open market, where cards are re- quired to get what you want to buy. But no one who can afford to live de- pends upon the open market. “If I lived upon what I could get in the honest and lawful way by means of cards, T would starve, that is all,” is a statement you hear often, especially in Berlin. Almost the whole, or certainly the majority of the population, of Bsrlip F OOD FOR FIFTY MILLION GERMANS IS VAST PROBLEM lives on food secured in the unlawful way, and wears clothes secured in Berlin, March 207 (By Mail.)— {the unlawful way, and gets practi- cally everything through the greatest business in Germany today, ‘‘schleich- handel” means business on the sly. There are thousands in the busi- ness. Regulations prevent offices or stores from selling goods on the sly. Hence most of the. “schleichhandel” dealers ply tueir trade in baskets, or | solicit business from house to house, in hotels or in the streets, always keeping as much under cover as pos- sible. There were and still are thousands of ‘*schleichhandel” artists who make it a practice to go to small country towns, buy what they can carry, and bring it to cities to sell at exorbitant prices. In many small towns, guards have been stationed in depots to search the baggage of those taking trains, especially suspicious characters. The result was usually not the prevention of food leavifg those stations, but the increase of prices of “scheichhandel” goods. The merchants added so much to the ex- orbitant prices as ‘‘fees for good in- spectors’’ bribery, if you want to call it that, but a lot of people are sus- ceptible to it in Germany these hard times. Similanly in northern country pro- vinces of Germany, there is a quantity of foods, but the people do | FOR SALE—Fresh Holstein cow, A. not want to exchange it for paper money. This is the principal trouble in many country districts. The farming people shrewdly figure that food is a lot more valuable than paper money. When credit and busi- ness becomes normal, food will come. out voluntarily, and it is doing so al- ready, under the stimulation of high prices and the “schleichhandel” ar- tists. But it is dear, far too dear for the poor, and the aged, and the sick, and for workmen’s families with a number of children. This class is suffering for all Germany’s sins, and is continually hungry and desperate. The allowances of food the poor gat on their cards are insufficient and of inedible quality in cities like Berlin. The mortality is high in this class, and for them Germany does need food from the outside world, -food which the government can control and distribute where it belongs, rath- er than sell at prevailing high prices.
