STOCKHOLM Sweden, January s.
Germany's experience with the equ'ta-
BILE distribution of food has proved that
card rationing has failed in its ann
even when managed by the ablest ad-
ninistrators and backed up by the
stcrnest supervision. This is the con-
clusion reached by writer in the So

tracing wide attention in the Scandi-
navian countries. The evasive farmer
obstructionist is the rock against which
the most loyal self-discipline and the
best organization are shattered

This breakdown OF the card-ration-

War Profteers Thrive.
That war profiteers thrive on every
hand, all know, says the Vorwaerts,
but any real comprehension of the
enormous extent of this crime against
the people is not acquired until one
reads the Neu koelln addTess. 1t had
been considered that foods Were mainly

on the contrary. that huge quantities
of foods. for the transportation of which
hundreds of long freight trains were
needed. totally escaped control and were
sold at fantastic prices in the towns and
Industrial districts.
There is reason to believe that the
srhieichhaDdef system in these days is
more perfectly organized than the state
the opinion expressed that Sweden has
better food control than Germany. The
Norwaerts also declares that this sur
