GERMANY'S RICH
EXPLOIT POOR,
SOCIALISTS SAY
Protest That Speculation
Is Making Fortunes for
Land Owners.
By Cable % The Tribune. |

Zurich, July 22.-Protest by the ex-
ecutve committee of the Socialist
party, published in "Vorwaerts"
against increasing the cost of food and
charging that speculation is chiefly re-
sponsible, has made a great impress
sion. Prices of meat, eggs and butter
put these foods completely out of the
reach of the poor classes.
II was officially declared that sup
plies of potatoes were practically un-
limited, so much so that permission
had been given for export to Holland,
Switzerland and Scandinavia TO pre-
vent loss IF unconsumed supplies. Herr
Won Dellbrueck. Minister of the Inter
Tor, declared in the Reichstag that
Germany was being drowned in pota-
toes.
Despite this the Socialist protest de-
clares that the price of the last week
or two has risen from 200 TO 800 per
cent. The committee calls on Socialist
organizations in all great centres to
bring pressure to bear on all local
government bodies.
Semi official announcement is made
that the Federal Council is preparing
to issue a proclamation regulating the
Authorization of the civil population.
The imperative necessity of such a
measure is recognized universally and
is greeted with satisfaction by all
classes.
The "Lokal Anzeiger" states that
the government probably will give
municipal authorities the right to fix
maximum prices to prevent excessive
consumption of meat, which is becom-
ing scarce. Its sale will be forbidden
for two days week. Butchers face
rum. The conservative press is indig-
nant that the censor allowed the So
cialist protest to be published. The
"Kreuz Zcitung" declares that mani
tests like this regarding peace and in
ternational conditions are calculated
to encourage Germany's enemies and
to disturb civil peace. To this "Eor-
waerts" replies that the "kreuz Zel-
tung," an organ of the great landed
proprietors, who are making fortunes
Just now. regards 1t as an attack on
civil peace TO denounce criminal specu-
lation in food for the people.
The announcement that the Federal
Council has decided to authorize an in
crease in the price OF grain also
arouses opposition. The "Beriiner
Tapeblatt" declares that since the
\
in enormous proportions the govern
ment should see that its citizens are
given their daily bread under accept
able conditions.
The "Deutsche Tageszeitung," the
chief organ of the agrarian classes
announces that peasants have sent
petition to the Minister OF Agriculture
asking that rations of corn allowed
for horses be augmented during the
harvest season. At present the allow,
ance is two litres day. This is called
semi-starvation.
In Munich the first beer cards on the
model of bread cards have made then
appearance. Each consumer has the
right to drink only the number Of
classes indicated on the cards. As
beer houses are not allowed to oper
until o'clock in the evening the con.
sumption of beer has been tremen
dously reduced. Since the supply b!
government orders has been dimin
ished so per cent. this is necessary.

added. Everybody knows that the
arms and ammunition manufactured IN
this country are destined for Germsny's
enemies. Therefore, in helping TO man
ufacture them, a German would DELHI
erately help his country's enemies. That
is treason, and treason is punishable"
Professor Frederick Oechsener, for
merly Of Berlin University, made this
comment:
"If the German government has issued
this order il must have been JUSTIFIED
in doing so. am not an authority on
international law, but cannot ee how
such a proclamation by Germany could
stir up any bad feeling in this country.
Germany is certainly not going TO pun
ish offenders of her laws in this coun-
try. She does not pretend to tell any
man here what he shalt or shall not do
Her ruling applies only TO those who
enter her Jurisdiction, although the of
fence against her may have been COM
mitted on foreign soil.
"In my opinion German who helps
TO manufacture munitions of war for
Germany's enemies ought 10 be pun
ished."
