UNDER NAZI RULE
OPPRESSION AND HARDSHIPS IN GUERNSEY. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 27. According to eight Guernsey residents who landed on the south coast after making a daring escape, the Germans are allowing most of the inhabitants of the isand to carry on their jobs at a flat rate of 30s a week for bachelors and 38s for married men, with an allowance for each child. The Germans are exaggeratedly courteous, endeavouring to win the islanders over to the Nazi cause, but the shadow of the Gestapo is over all. Fifteen years’ imprisonment is the penalty for speaking slightingly of German soldiers. Rationing is becoming more and more severe. Two ounces of butter and sixpence worth of meat are allowed weekly. Bread is made from potatoes and something like chaff. The Guernsey newspaper are belingual and contain short German lessons daily. The sale of spirits is banned.
