FOOD FOR GERMANY
$ ; | SWINDLING PROTEERS , VAST PROFITS BEING REAPED (Rec. August 31, 5.5 p.m.) Londsn, August 29. A' Geneva message states that despite the shortage and tlie high price of food in Franco and Italy both countries are making a tremendous effort to sell Germany foodstuffs, including fruit, vegetables, and wine. Vast stocks are accumulating in Switzerland in readiness for delivery. Swiss profiteers are swindling Germans in a barefaced manner, offering food-in lots of a hundred car loads and giving no details. Many cars have been found to contain canary seed and chestnut flour. Unscrupulous French, Italian and Swis straderg are reaping vast profits because German speculators are willing to pay three times what foreign speculators could obtain. There is no evidence that Englishmen are pai ticipatine in this profiteering. Tho Government is arranging an international import market at Frankfort, which is likely to become a congress for internatiosial profiteers.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
