POVERTY IN PARIS
UNDER'THE NAZI BLIGHT. RESULTS OF COLLABORATION. Collaboration with Germany is hardly mentioned at all in the French Press today. When it is mentioned it is .no longer in the sweet, inviting, tempting tones of the early days. Now the newspapers tell of the poverty of Paris under the Nazi blight. “Before the shoemaker’s shop there is a notice,” says “Le Journal.” It reads: ‘No more orders taken until further notice.’ It is not lack of the will to work, but lack of leather, hemp, nails. What about the dyer and cleaner? A coverlet to be cleaned? Bring it back tomorrow and you will get it in a month. Why so long? Because while the works to which the coverlets are sent still has some benzine, it has no coal. So it waits until it has sufficient work and then gets in coal.” “There are no more nails at the ironmonger’s, no more shoes at the shoe shop, no more needles at the draper s, says “Le Jour.”
