 ECONOMIC TREAS0N''

 The smuggling of grain across the border is a fairly easy matter, and so the German farmers in the west have been sending tons across to Hol- land.
 There is a legal provision forbid ding the exportation of wheat and other cereals, and a punishment of from month to year Imprisonment, as we'll as fines up to 10000 marks, but threatened punishment is insuf- ficient to stop the practice.
