Exploited And Under-Fed
The Germans in every country they have over- run have commandeered nearly all the food reser- ves and have ordered. the slaughtering of much live-stock.
Germany has added from the occupied countries a total of 2,- 000,000 tons of wheat to her re- serves and has just demanded ani additional 780,000 tons from France:**.
running up
The Germans are debt endlessly in the oppressed countries: Shopkeepers and in- dustrialists sell goods to Germans on demand, receiving in return either paper money in their own currency or German Credit Office vouchers, which they can ex- change for their own paper cur- rency
What they are only dimly re- alising is that the Germans are taking out goods and putting in only paper money.
The Germans control the cen- tral banks of each country and have ordered them to print more of their currency to meet German credit purchases. All that is be- hind the paper money is a bundle of German bonds or German pro- mises to honour the note issue "when victory comes."
Rationing schemes in the oc- cupied countries show that the Germans are deliberately under- feeding the people,
who, they say, are under their protection. Because practically all essen- tial foodstuffs in Norway have been confiscated and taken to Germany. the Norwegians. who had ample foodstuffs before the German invasion, have been re- duced to fish and potatoes.
A message from Poland states that the Germans have dropped leaflets stating that German men and women should avoid con- tact with Poles. There were no decent Poles, as there were no decent Jews. The Germans were using the Poles as labourers and intended to prevent them from
increasing their population.
