The best way of all to eat well in Germany is to earn the right. through service to the National Socialist Party or to the armed forces, to a permit for one of the occupied countries. Last winter the most prized was a permit to Prague, Czechoslovakia, which still was bursting then with the fruit of pre-war prosperity. To-day Paris still ranks first with the Netherlands a close second. Even permits for Norway and Poland are prized as places where Ger- man money at mandatory rates of exchange can work wonders in uncovering luxuries now beyond the reach of the native popula- tion.
