BAVARIANS IMAGINE
F. DOLLARS UNLIMITED
Say Americans Must Help Pay
Reporations.

Special Gable to THE New YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1929, by The New YORK HERALD.
MUNICH, June 14.-People who come
to Bavaria with dollars and incidentally
with pounds and francs are supposed
to have unlimited spending power and
burning desire to throw away money.
For them prices are doubled. trebled,
and as parting attention they must
pay zoo per cent. on articles which they
take out OF Germany with them. Amer
leans must pay our reparations bills,
as one German remarked. IF not as
loan than as individual Americans"
At the same time the Bavarlan
Government gives its blessing to shop
keepers and hotels who screw up prices
on foreigners and warns tourists VINO
come with their dollars and pounds that
they force up German prices. Bavarian
comment on foreign visitors runs I'VE
ask you TO come and appreciate our
hospitality But remember the terrible
burden you are to us. For this you must
compensate us by leaving your dollars
behind"
Bavaria is the richest, agricultural
country in Central Europe and the
Bavarians now, as during the war. jeal-
ously guard their foodstuffs from ex-
portation even to other parts of Ger
many. 1t is the one part of Central Eu-
rope where fresh milk and whipped
cream are nearly anywhere to be had.
But recently the Minister of the In
terror announced that owing to the
milk shortage foreigners would only be
permitted to buy timed milk. The Min
ister's declaration Is typical Of the state
of mind tourists may expect to en-
counter in Bavaria. Germany likes to
see many guests within her borders"
he said, "but fears that their coming
will mean an extraordinary rise In
prices because thousands of foreigners
come with foreign money for which they
can receive an enormous number OF
marks, which will naturally influence
the general cost of living" There
fore the Bavarian Department of Agri.
culture made these special regulations:
Hotels are instructed TO get their
supplies of food for the tourist season
from abroad. Milk, butter, cheese and
eggs are produced in Bavaria, but IL is
desirable to keep these at low prices
so that the native can buy his own
products. The necessary supplies for
strangers must be imported from other
countries. These will be higher priced
than the home grown products.

night announced It had started on Its
own account an investigation of the raid

whisky had been purchased in the hotel
Monday by Federal agent, one bottle
from bell boy and the other from
Hamilton p. Burney, manager.
John d. Appleby. zone chief for New
York and New Jersey, who was in
charge of the raid, asserted the hotel
must have been informed that the
agents were coming.
THE tip apparently was not given
until shortly before the raid" he said.
'One bottle of liquor, which was OBJ
tained Monday night, was not paid for
until about 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
BY taking the money then the hotel
people showed they had not had their
suspicious aroused" Mr.. Boland said
What the prohibition authorities
have said is a bunch of bunk and hot
air. During the war we used to call
IL smoke screening. We have started
an investigation of this thing ourselves
and we are going to get to the bottom.
