GERMAN FOOD CRISIS
FARMERS COMPLAIN OF TREATMENT German farmers, upon whom some Germans have laid part of the blame for the current food crisis, have strenuously attacked the “stupidity” of German authorities, says a report from Frankfort. “Our farming folk are not senseless machines,” said a village mayor, “and neither are the Ruhr miners.. The Allies have given the miners various incentives to produce. They have given none to the farmers. Farmers work twice as many hours in a week as miners. What can they buy with the sweat of their brow in a German shop today? Almost nothing.”
