Bread is truly the staff of life
in Sicily and much Of Southern
Italy. Ordinarily the wheat CROP
is just about SUFFICIENT for the pop
ulace. Conditions began to get bad
it appears, in 1912 when there was
poor wheat crop. The Fascist
government subsidized bread so thai
it could eventually be sold to the
populace for about two cents loaf
This had kept down much popular
discomfort.
But with a wheat scarcity, the
farmers began concealing wheat
from the government inspectors. II
apparently wasn't difficult to hide
a barn full of wheat standing by
the side of the road. The bread
black market got under way with
vengeance. 1t became worse this
year with another poor wheat crop
being harvested at just about the
time of the invasion. Apparently
the only way to break it is to root
out all the enormous quantities oi
wheat hidden away-this would re-

enough more from abroad to f1ooo

brought in by AMG. 1t was placed
on the market under such restric-

public in the form of Scent bread
Every miller or wholesaler to whom
the wheat was distributed had tc
make a strict accounting. But after
few days it was apparent that a
lot of this wheat, brought in for hu-
manitarlan reasons at the cost OF
shipping space badly needed for mil
itary supplies, was finding its way
on the black market.
