The following is taken from a letter smuggled from Poland into. Hun- gary and forwarded to the United States. For obvious reasons, the writer. must remain

anonymous.

DON'T write to you often because, in the first place, foreign corre- spondence creates an in- terest in the writer-and cách "interest" has, as a rule, a sad ending. Secondly, foreign letters must be mailed personally in the main office, after proving identification and paying for the postage in cash-you yourself are not permitted to put the stamps on.

It is easily understood that with such a system there are long lines wait- ing at the windows (there are only two or three open windows for about 800,000 inhabitants, not counting the Jews, who are not permitted to come to the main post office, as they are "shut in" and have no right to leave the ghetto).

To "facilitate" this rush they introduced further innovations: First, you go to one window for your number; then you wait in line at another window; finally, after a few hours, you get to the right window. That this method discourages any correspondence is plainly seen-for sentiment sentiment, but.one's health is one's health.

How we live you no doubt know, but the knowledge is very differ- ent from the actual ex- perience. Brutal, incon- siderate force; people de- prived of all rights, in- cluding the right of pos- session; mass terrorism practised as a principle, particularly in the so-call- ed snatchings, which are retributions for any sign of an unbroken spirit (there are constant no- tices of deaths from the camps, especially from Oswiecim, where the vic- tims of the "snatches" are taken); being de- prived, in reality only formally, of any news from the outside world and being forced to de- pend upon the German published papers for all news which in a subtle and crafty manner. instils the human

soul with

venom: through false articles presenting in an innocent form "letters from the readers" in order to create discord among the people, also by hideous immoral writings which formerly even the lowest type of press did not dare to print; doing away with the entire

school system with the ex-

Nevertheless, resistance does not weaken and there is no loan of spirit. The Ger- mans live their way, and the Poles live their own lives, which the Germans neither comprehend nor are able to control.

Daily radio bulletins circulated-not-only-in-the cities, but also in the pro- vinces-although recently ra- dio sets have been confiscated even from the Volksdeutsch,

A large number of under- cover publications can be found in the villages as well as in the cities-they are well edited, and the most impor- tant ones.come out every ten days. The number of such publications is estimated at around 100. The secrct dis- tribution is very efficient and very seldom is any one caught circulating them. To bo found in possession of even a single issue means death.

Occasionally sad breaches are made in the wonderful

spirit of the Foles by those

who are not of German ori- gin, but who report them- selves

Volksdeutsche. These people are held in con- tempt by the Germans and are considered a temporary element. Lately they have been terrorised because of mass deportations to Ger- many.

The following data will give you some idea of how we are supplied with the most essential articles:

to be rationed the quantities 1. Foodstuffs supposedly are insufficient, and the quali ty leaves much to be desired, so that one person receives:

Rye bread (black) - 1.4 kilogram [about, 8 pounds, zioty a kilogram. The zloty 11⁄2 ounces] a week at 0.50

was worth about 20 cents in American currency at the time the war broke out; no- cording to the writer the pre- sent rate of exchanges is 120. to 125 zloty to the dollar].

Potatoes.In theory you were supposed to receive 100. for the winter, but only 70 kilograms [about 220 pounda] kilograma (154.822 pounds) were given out at 14 zinty

The delivery was made dur- ing the freezing wenther and the potatoes were.frozen.

Meats Six grades; 0.10 kilograms [about 3% ounces] a week at 2.60 zloty a kilo-

gram, Germans received the 1 and 2 grades; Volksdeut- sche, grade 3, Russians, grade 4; Ukrainians, grade 6, and the Poles, grade 6.

Flour-Once every two months, 0.4 kilograms [about fourteen ounces] at 0.70 zloty a kilogram.

Sonp Toilet soap, granu- lated soap, candy, lemons are. small quantities-candy, 25 all rationed in ridiculously

grams [less than an ounce); one lemon and one egg to a family a month. You can get marmalades in liberal quanti- tics at 6.50 zloty a kilogram.

Milk-Warsaw is allowed 12,000 liters [3,170 gallons} daily; of this amount 6,000 liters (1,585 gallons] are for hospitals and orphanages ; the balance is rationed on cards for children:

Fats None assigned. Jews are permitted to re- ceive only one-half of the nor- mal ration of bread and nothing else.

In illegal transactions it is possible to purchase anything you desire in spite of constant- searches and examinations of every one travelling by train, in wagons or on foot-and the confiscation by force of any food found. The prices rise in proportion to the increas- ingly occurring confiscations. Prices in stores are much highor.

2. Clothing-woven fabrics, shoes (with very poor grade rubber soles), underwear, dresses, suits, fur coats, gloves, socks, etc., can be ob- tained by "requisition" cards which only a few lucky ones receive,

During the holiday season, upon showing a ration cardi, it was possible to buy one ar- tificial silk-second grade, with flaws at approximately these prices: Men's shorts, 25 zloty; women's stockings, 4.50 to 25 zloty. zlaty; women's underwear, 12

In illegal sales one metro (a little more than a yard) of men's suit material cost from 80 to 150 zloty; women's shoes, 160 zloty; men's shoes, 200 zloty; women's stockings, 15 to 30 zloty; warm gloves, 15 to 20 zloty: woollen under- wear, 100 to 180 zioty; shoe soles, 30 zloty.

Of course, no one buys these articles he does not have the means.

3. Fuel-In the fall 20 kilo- grams (about forty-four pounds) of fuel were distri- buted a person a month. For the last three months there was no fuel distributed at all --thero la no coal-or coko available in the city. If it is possible to obtain it, the price is up to 600 zloty a month.
