to win this war. What opposition

not mean they are a lean and
hungry lot. In fact, the average
German perhaps doesn't realize
or. If so, only to a small de
gree that the food he Is getting
today Isn't what it was, In Aug
ust of 1939, '
Germany's rationing system is
so effective that the quantity of
food has remained almost the
same while the decrease in some
staples -such as .. butter, milk,
bread and; flour has 'been almost
unnoticeable. It is only when a
privileged foreigner, like myself,
crosses into some neutral coun
try and then returns after several
weeks that this decrease is ap
parent. ;
There pre no real breadlines,
but there are smokers', lines. Pa
tiently men and Women stand in
line for a half hour or longer, to
get a few cigars or cigarets "for
themselves or men at the front
Occasionally there are vegetable
and other market queues al
though they usually aren't neces
sary, since housewives register for
their family allotments with their
neighborhood butcher, grocer or
milk dealer.
Craftsmen of all kinds are
missing from civilian life.
People have become their own
plumbers, locksmiths, auto me
chanics and carpenters and even
are pressing their own clothes.
It takes a week to .get a salt
pressed by a tailor.
Can Remain In Garages
Fewer civilian cars are run
ning; than at any time since na
tional socialism came into power.
When the war broke out, about
60 per cent of the private cars
were requisitioned, and only 15
per cent of the remaining owners
were awarded the red. police
check mark on their number
plates which allowed them to
continue running their cars. Of
this group, probably half, have
lost their driving privileges since
then.
Those still permitted to use
their cars ; must use gasoline
most sparingly. When the war
began I was allowed 200 liters
a month (a liter Is a little under
a quart) for my American
eight-cylinder t ear. After a year
this was reduced to ISO liters,
after a year and a half to 90.
Since August 1 I'm down to 60,
which Isn't enough to take me
to the office, out on routine
calls and back home. The time
Is long past when my family
had the use of the car!
Clatter of Wooden Feet
It goes without saying that
street cars, 1 busses, and subways
are crowded, butas a whole the
commuters are a well disciplined
lot ' '
Walk along any street one of
these summer days, and the only
thing which differs from the pre
war scene is the clatter of wooden
soles. Otherwise, women seem as
well dressed as in peacetime and
men's' clothes seem up to stand
ard. Look closely, however, and
you'll find; ersatz cloth is ob
viously not so ' good as real silk,
real cotton or real wool. Leather
shoes are almost unknown ex
cept for the lighting forces. De
cisive from the viewpoint of war
morale, however, is the fact that
there are clothing and shoes of
some sort foi everybody. -
ine uerman people are no
different from others in yearn
ing for peace, but they're equally
convinced they must keep on
fighting with Victory or national
destruction the only two possible
outcomes.
