HAMBURG TO-DAY.
CITY OF STARVATION.
An English business man who has just spent a week in Hamburg writes a letter describing the ter- rible conditions prevailing in. that town. The following extracts are particularly noteworthy ----
Germany has fallen, and is still falling lower. There is no work for rich or poor, for there is aO almost entire absence of all necessary raw materials. Men of fashion who formerly bought their clothes in Bond Street (the German "cut" not being good enough for them) now make no secret of the fact that their suits have been "turned" or that their shirts are patched. That may perhaps strike one as comedy. but it is tragedy to hear of the children of these "well-to-do" people dying for want of nourish- ment; of the heads of great com- mercial houses turning out food- less in the morning to spend an idle day in an empty office or warehouse.
Hamburg! That former hive of industry, with its park-like open spaces and those glorious stretches of water the Elbe and the Alster with its fins and still finer warehouses. (a model of what Manchester ought to provide for her toiling thousanda). Dow a city not, perhaps of the dead, but of the starving, of the out-of-work, of the discontented and nerve-shattered:
Small wonder that riot and re- bellion are rife, when a day's wages are not sufficient to buy a day's food, let alone a night's lodging; when clothing cannot be bought even by the rich, and the dread spectre of a black win- terg is before the vision of thous ands, bay millions.
The ordinary manual worker is physically incapable of doing his work on the poor fare, and I have personally known cases where four men have been required to do a lifting job which previously one man man, who can get from 70 to 75 could accomplish. Tosa English-
marks for his pound note, living may still seem moderately cheap in Germany, but what of the German workman, whose money has depreciated to about a quarter of its normal value, apart from the fact of the world-wide increase in the cost of the necessarias life? When the people become des- perate there is rioting, the prisons are broken open, and the peaceable citizens are at the mercy of a ruffenly mob, who, as a well-known merchant said to "seem to object to anyone wearing a clean collar. D As an Englishman, proud of his
gloricu country, proud of the gl navy and army who have beaten militarist Germany to her knees. I'sppeal to my fellow-countrymen to think now of the dying babies, the badly-clad children, and the self-sacrificing fathers and "mothers in that stricken fană, und to use every effort to send food before it is too late.
