Housewives in Berlin
Work Out Burter System

BERLIN lP.-Berlin housewives have
worked out barter system of their own
to overcome the difficulties of rationing.
They are assigned to certain stores, &C
cording to the district in which they live.
Sometimes one districts stores will have
q shortage in some commodity, but in
another district there will be ample sup
lies.
To overcome these shortages the house
wives phone friends in other districts and
offer to trade their own SURPRISES for
what they want.
For example, quart of vinegar easily
obtained in Charlottenburg is moved to
Neukoelln in exchange for pounds Of
SALT which is scarce in Charlottenburg.
Purchasing is strictly rationed and egg
producers must deliver all their eggs to
government collecting stations, which at
tendr to fair distribution and prevent
bootlegging.
Efficiency of police in watching, SEEM
ingly, over every egg was impressed on
members of the Dominican Church at
Znaim. A farmers wife didn't think au-
thorities would be watching the church,
but they were. She was arrested for SELL
ing eggs after services, and some OF her
customers were charged with "conniv-
ing to injure the war economy OF the
state"

LONDON.-Twice within IL months
has the cry of small country gone out
to civilized nations for help.
So spellbound was the world at the
initial successes of Finland that it failed
to respond promptly and adequately to
her appeals. When her army, which
for a hundred days had superbly illus
matter, was suddenly called on through
lack of reinforcements to give up the
struggle for independence, we were left
to ponder on what might have been.
In the case of Greece, it is within our
choice to determine what shall be.
Once more our admiration is evoked
our eyes are fixed on immortal feats
of arms. Are our ears equally atten-
tive? Do we heed the messages of the
Hellenic government? The cry is not
for troops. 1t is for support in the air
without delay and without hesitation"
Time to Make Kill.
The request is made, it should be noted,
not to ward off defeat but to consolidate
victory. The Italian Army is retreating.
1t is abandoning artillery and tanks.
1t is said to be in panic Now is the
time for Britain, before Germany can
come to the rescue of her associate, to
follow up and break the morale of the
assailant. Let the bombers which for
months past have shattered Hamburg
Leuna and Gelsenkirchen be concen-
trated against the Italians, with the i'm
mediate and now attainable objective Of
striking Italy out of the war.
Then will Britain be able to measure
herself against Germany. For this
purpose she must revitalize her di-
plomacy and. reconstruct her economy.
Her overtures to Russia lack realism and
it is not surprising that they have not
been accepted with alacrity.
German Influence.
The offer~of de facto recognition of the
seizure by the Soviet Union of the Baltic
states-only part of the spoils obtained
surance that Britain will not join in any
attack on her are unlikely to counteryail
against the more solid evidence OF
German capacity to implement promises
or give effect to threats. From Mcneil to
Rumania stretch the forces of the
Reich, visible warning of Nazi might
The inclusion in Molotoff's delegation
to Berlin of the commissars for aircraft
and steel production are plain indica-
ton that the astute negotiator has seen
that the reciprocities Of economic col
liberation are preferable to the risks Of
military conflict. It will not be over
looked that Russian factories can pro-
