Part Of

Spoliation As Germany's New System

Sufficient data are now available to tell in detail the story of the systematic spoliation practised by Germany in the countries she has occu- pied. It is deliberately planned and ruthlessly applied. It is calculated to turn the once independent kingdoms and republics into economic satel- lites of the Reich, and to make their inhabitants feeble and spiritless.

Nazi Germany is a monster that takes all and gives, nothing, except that now and again with cruel cunning she ostentatiously makes a gift to one victim of goods she has stolen from another, writes a correspondent of "The Times."

Ration cards for clothing made their appearance on August 12. The German system of purchase by points has been introduced. A clothing card gives its owner 100 points for the half-year, and so many points have to be ceded for each article purchased. Second-hand clothes are also rationed. The shortage of shoes is serious. Soon after the Invasion the Germans demanded the dellvery of the trade stocks of leather to their "Leather Bureau," and now the use use of wooden shoes is encouraged. It is described as "elegance" to have it is clearly one of their aims to cold. wooden soles and heels with leather make Poland part of
