Food GluiS French Provinces
but Cities Face Lean RaiiOnS
Nv ROsETTE HARGROVE

PARIS - The liberation Of
Paris has by no means resulted
in a return TO anything like the
prewar way of life for the aver
age Partisan housewife. She
still has to face almost as many
problems as she did during the
occupation and there is no like
lihood that these will be solved
In the near future, due to the
exigencies OF war.
Talk to any woman who runs
a house in Paris today and She
will tell you that although life
Is decidedly easier than il was
before liberation--if only from
the point of view of being rid
of the hateful Germans--it is a
long way from being normal.
This she understands and her
mood is one of resignation and
acceptance of the fact that the
months ahead will be hard going
harder perhaps in some ways
than those she lived through
curing four long and weary
years. She realizes that the war
Is yet TO be won and that the
requirements of the Allied
armies must come first.
Food is admittedly still the
fore most preoccupation OF
Fren h civilians. Generally
speaking the situation has inn
proved. Were it not for lack OF
transportation there would be
no problem, as the country &C
tually is overstocked with food.
Outside of the fact that France
can produce enough to feed her
self, the present glut is easily
explained by the disappearance
of the German purchasing bur-
eaus and general requisitioning
which absorbed over 80 per cent
of the foodstuffs available plus
the fact that there is no longer
an army of occupation to feed.

One Of the big hardships for
the French has been the dis
appearance of ordinary table
wine, the national beverage To-
day it is impossible to buy the
cheaper wines which before the
war cost as little as Is cents
quart-now it is difficult to get
wine under 200 francs bottle
and even at that price it is not
easy to find. There is talk now
of distributing a quart week to
every adult as from next month
on large shipments of Algerian
wine are expected. The average
Frenchman drank around a
quart of wine a day With his
meals.
There is still a shortage of oil,
butter and fats but small sup
plies of cheese, jam and macar-
oni have been distributed. When
The beet factories in northern
France start working again the
sugar ration will probably be
increased 1t is now one pound
per month for adults and double
that amount for children under
six.
SO far as clothing is concerned
most people in the lower income
brackets cannot afford to buy
anything and furthermore there
is very little to sell. Prices are
sky high and the quality is in
different. The shelves and count
ers Of the big department stores
are practically empty save for a
few scarfs, gloves and other
articles which come under the
heading of unnecessary luXur-
les such as costume jewelry,
ribbons and objects of art.
1t is impossible for newly
married couples TO start home
in France today. Linens, glass
ware, china, cutlery as we'll as
the most ordinary furniture cost
a small fortune, completely out
of reach of people of small
means.
Still you hear no complaints.
Parisians are ready to endure the
inevitable hardships that this
winter will bring if only for the
reason that they now see the end
in sight. They know they will
lack coal for heating, gas for
cooking, besides all the other
modern amenities, but provided
they can work and keep body
and soul together they ask for
nothing more.
The recent increase of 40
francs day for every category
of worker up to and including
those earning 1900 francs week
has considerably h e ar c n e d
everybody. This is an endeavor
by the Government to meet the
high cost of living and at the
same time beat the Black Mar
ket. Incidentally there are
countless Parisians today who
refuse to buy in the Black Mar
ket for patriotic reasons. Author
tiles have enlisted the help Of
the FIJI 10 track down food and
other racketecrs, soaring many
people out of illicit trading.
although so far they have not
succeeded in completely wiplng
it out. While you can count on
the fingers of one hand the
restaurants where you can eat
for $3.50 there are at least %
Black Market restaurants where
a meal costs Sl2, excluding wine.

MINN APOLIS, Sept. Is
(ANP)-"The church and labor

benefit of both" declared S. Vim

Mr.. Littlejohn praised the Twin
Cities Ordnance plant for it's fair
policy in the employment of Ne
groes. Heron declared that it was
impossible to separate church and
labor as most of the church mem
bers are workers and he urged them
to join some union.
The following resolution was
submitted to the meeting by Rev.
Nelson and was unanimously
adopted:
"a nation that is capable of hav-
ing full employment during war
should be even more capable of
having full employment during
peace time. The full and abundant

and ferret out the unneeded.
GULL LISTS
The farm draft boards are
supposed to have done this al
ready, repeatedly. It's to be as
sumed-and that's the opinion
of informed people here that
most of the 1900 will be
found still needed on farms.
Last April draft calls were
about 200, 900. AS the Army and
Navy got up to peak strength,
draft calls started dropping.
Only men ID through Is were
needed.
We invaded Europe, the Ger
mans looked sick, and draft
calls dropped. Then the Ger
mans fought back. But the war
had been costing US men:
Up to Aug. 29-which was 81
months and 20 days after Pearl
Harbor-today Army casualties
ir all theaters were 337,743.
But in the next 31a months
between Aug. 20 and Dec. IA
the announced Army casuaires
scared by another 100000.
So in 312 months we had suf-
fered two-thirds as many casu-
alties as we had suffered in the
previous 1924 months.
HEAVY LOSSES
But since Dec. 14-when the
Army last released its casualty
list-the Germans put on their
offensive which cost us heavily
And now-in January and
F bruary-the Army wants its
draft calls, upped from 10000
to 10000 a north. A big share
of these draftees will come from
the youths reacb'Rs 10.
I .J.lL Nh.aQass Bgfnes said he
wanted 4-FS between I8 and 50
forced into war jobs or into the
Armylif they're not in essential
work. Now he cracks down on
the farm workers.
Byrnes' actions this week eli
max a series-a fairly recent Sc
ries-of moves by top officials
who only a few months ago
seemed optimistic.
In July Prime Minister
Churchill thought Cermany's
end might come earlier than
we have any right to say" and
General Eisenhower in August
thought Germany would be lick
ed in 1914 "if everyone did his
part"
WHIP PLANS
Keeping pace with statements
like these. here at home plans
were hastily whipped together
under prodding by Byrnes -
for reconverson to peacetime
when Germany fell.
But Germany didn't fall. Our
casualties increased. And sud-
denly we were told-although
only a couple of months before
arrangements were made for
letting a number of plants 60 in
to civilian Work-of a great
need for all kinds of munitions,
including mortar shells which
couldn't be made until next Au-
gust.

increasing pounding ever since

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 - Up
- The sudden breakdown on
draft-deferred farmers is the
latest chapter in a story that is
grim and shows how top Off
Gals have changed their tune.
The number of men squeezed
into the Army from farms prob
ably will be just drop in the

draft boards to 60 over their list
of 364, 900 men aged ID through,
