Raw material shortages are great in direct proportion to the military value of the product. Cas- oline Is completely unavailable in most places. Two strange types of vehicle have replaced Paris honk- ing taxis and noisy trucks. One Is the bicycle taxl-a tandem bicycle hooked onto an over-sized baby car- riage. The other Is an automobile powered by "gazogene," a charcoal and wood alcohol mixture. Even so, transportation facilities are so over- taxed that hearses are making com- munity rounds, gathering dozen or more dead at once.
 Coal, theoretically available at 50 ktlos month, Is actually alo most non existent. Few hotels were able to heat more than one or two ground floor rooms during the past winter, one of the sever. est in French history. Diplomats in Vichy considered themselves lucky to get two lukewarm baths Q week.
 Because the details of the arm- tStice nave never been puDlSned, no one knows whether the Ger mans are overstepping It's terms. The Bank of Paris, evidently by the generous use of the printing press, pays 400,O00,000 francs a need of Italian permission to sell "even modest yachts"
 Tn addition 10 these commits sions here is the Gestapo. Its ef- ficiency, in unoccupied France, Is attested to by the disappe ararlce of all German nationals In the French Foreign Legion, after its recent dis- solution.
 To a man, returning travellers say that no one in France believes any official news. There is 30 much lis- tening to the B. B. 0. broadcasts that the 0estapo resorted to the unsuccessful suberfuge of trying to sell gadgets ito improve reception of foreign broadcasts" in an effort to catch offenders.

A French workman bids his wife and child goodby in Paris. He's off to work in Germany, perhaps willingly, perhaps through . Ges- tapo trick, perhaps because star. yation can dim the fire of patri-
 otisin.
 For those who still have money, however, anything from food to iuxiries may be bought in the "bourse noire" or bootleg markets. All France Is convinced that every German has his price.
 HEARsES MAKE
 COMMUNITY ROUNDS
 In many sections, 1t Is harder, if anything, to get clothing than food. Generally raw materials are rationed to manufacturers on the basis of 30 per cent of what was used in 1888. Then 50 per cent of the manufactured product Is taken by the Germans. A month ago, however, all Paris clothing stores were closed for inventory = and because the ration cards neces- sary to buy many lines were still to be issued.
 day for the army of occupation = bout twice its estimated cost This enables the Germans to buy whatever they fancy, and all re- ports indicate that they are h. vesting in every important busi' ness in France.
 At first 1t was more convenient for the Germans to let the French run their own factories and ther buy the ouput. Recently, how eyer, they have taken over impor' tant factories like Citroen and Ren' ault) for the manufacture of wal materials.
 Even in so-called unoccupies France, the Germans run things k suit themselves. Armistice commis. s.ons regulate life in centers of an. imporance. Tn Marseilles, for exam. pie, the commission regulates al water and rail traffic, censors botl press and radio. Along the Italian border, the commissions are Italian Returning Riviera-ites bemoan tht

 9s PER CENT
 PRO-BRITISH
 Beyond non cooperation and uil- derground literature, there is very little resistance in France today. For one thing the revered Marshal Petain has asked for the avoidance of incidents. For another, there are 2.OOO, 900 French prisoners in Ger. man camps. Further there are @ considerable number of Frenchmen who have gone to the Reich to work. Some Of them have gone un- wtttingly. Tn one town in the occu. pied France some men answered want ad. They were told to get physical examination before re- DOTLnlS lVE WOths AAiSAC WASy WSSS told to sign a statement, in Ger man, stating their willingness to do manual labor. Actually 1t was an agreement to work in Germany and they were shipped of two days lat- CT.
 Others have gone to work in Germany out of necessity. A starving family can break the will of the greatest patriot.
 But if resistance is low. anti- German, pro British feeling Is high and is steadily mounting Occupied France Is today prob- ably 95 per cent pro-British. The figure is not much less in the unoccupied section. The Ger. mans recent discontinuation of air raid warnings in France (he- cause the population was too pleased by British planes) Is more indicative than an encyclo- pedia of propaganda on how things are going in this conquered state.

French Are Nazi VaSsaIs, Hungry And UnreSiSting, Say Refugees
Germans Run "Unoccupied" France, Too

This is . composite word -plc- ture Of France today. To get it, NEA-DemOcrat Stan Writer Tom WoR has met many incoming ref- ugee boats In New York Harb0r in recent weeks has talked at length with scores of residents of both occupied and un0ccupied France and from these con. versAtlons has pleced together . comprehensive, cens0r-free story of that conquered land which could have been obtained in no other way In order that the travellers might speak freely and honestly, without fear of bringing harm upon their friends and families remaining in France, 1t was agreed that their names would not appear in the article.

 New York, April 3-All over France today a story is being told to describe collaboration" - that system of cooperation with Ger many which Adolf Hitler decreed should be French national policy in return for an armistice.
 collaboration" runs the story, lis where e German says to a Frenchman: You give me your watch, and Ill tell you the time',"
 The meaning of collaboration for France, which just 6 year ago was sitting securely behind her "impregnable" Maginot Line talk ing about the "phony war;" be- comes increasingly clear with every refugee and every snuggled letter to reach America. I have talk ed to scores of incoming travellers, on board ships and after their ar- rival. Their stories prove that today France, both occupied and unoccu- pied, is ever increasingly a vassal state-giving to the Germans what ever they demand, be 1t watches, food, raw materials, or nlanufac- lures.
 COFFEE TASTES
 LIKE PARAGORIC
 The result for France iS devas- tating want in all commodities Most Trenchmen have lived for the past months on Q diet of car ! rots, turnips, Q few fish (thougt these have been scarce since the Germans caught French fishermen supplying the Briush), an occa- slonal rabbit and potato, ant acorn coffee (which tastes like paragoricD. No wonder so man, refugees report getting sick ir Lisbon after eating a norma meal.
 The Germans easily control tn, produce of France because 1t t ccntered in the occupied areas Farmers used to separate their ow1 cream. Now they must bring theil whole milk to central depots, wher' the Germans skim it-so thin 1t Of ten looks blue. This blue milk available, by ration card, to childrei under 3 and extremely aged.
