else has brought a shutdown Of
| factories in many parts of Italy with
resultant economic hardship. In the
| last year Hitler already has taken
$4,000 agricultural and 10000 in
dustrial workers from Italy.
In the first week Of the effective
occupation of Italy by Germany at
the turn of the year Hitler called
for 315,O00 industrial workers. They
are telling their wives and children
good-by for indeterminate periods
and going of in sealed trains for
unknown destinations. A laborer
only knows that to refuse means to
go to prison.
This is what Hitler demanded
through his economic lieutenant,
DR.. Karl Clodius. In return he con-
tinues to ship Italy million tons
of coal month and promises to :;
double the shipments of iron and
steel. And well Hitler may, for the
italian factories will now be Ger
man controlled, in part German
owned and wholly geared to German
needs.
A shortage of raw material be-
cause of the blockade and German
control of Italian factories because
of that shortage have been inevit-
able. 1t has also been pretty plain
that Germany would drain Italy OF:
such stuff as the Fascists could
spare-hax, fruits, vegetables, sui

But few observers in Italy, and
certainly not many persons in the
italian government, expected the
| Germans to bring an actual food
shortage. Italy had been working
for years toward autarchy in food
with "the battle of the wheat" and
the like and should have proved
self sufficient. Actually there are
severe shortages with a resulting
upward zoom of prices. The poorer
classes are face to face with starva-
ton.
Rationed Under German Control.
The bottom third of the Italian
public has lived on olive oil and
mixture of spaghetti and noodles
with tomatoes and string beans.
The oil and spaghetti are now
rationed under strict German con-,
troll and the individual is allowed
per month what he used to consume.
in a week The staple dish of the
poor was a meatless soup made of
olive oil and scraps. The poor today
are trying to make this soup without
oil. That means slow starvation
for them.
There is no sound reason for the
shortage of olive oil except that the
Germans need fats for human con-
sumption, for explosives and for the
fabrication of bomb-sights, range.
finders and the like.
The German Locusts.
The fact that the Italian poorer
classes cannot live without olive
oil and have no substitute for it.
means nothing to the Germans.
In a mere matter of months,
consequently, the Germans have left
the Italians feeling as if locusts
had swept across the peninsula. :;
Berlin itself has realized that if
Italy is still to be treated as an
ally, instead of an occupied and
enemy land, there must be some
