even If It had any value, there is
no merchandise to buy with it.
"But a cigarette can be given
to a farmer in exchange for food.
The farmer can use it for trade,
or he may smoke it because it is
a mild sedative, and it reduces
his appetite. It's as simple as
that"
The simplicity of it is demon
srated every day on the streets
of nearly every German city. |
Men, women and children are
quick to snatch up every cigarette
butt that falls to the sidewalks
before the smoker can stamp on
it. The tobacco is saved, either
to smoke or to trade.
The lack of food-the current
ration is between. 1900 and 1900
calories per day, enough to sus-
tain life but not enough to enable
"a man to work-sholtages of
clothing, the low value of the
mark, all have resulted IN al
showdown" in German industry.
The workingman sees no purpose
in working unless he can get
food. Production in the Ruhr
mines, building construction in
the American zone and service in
American military government
offices can depend on a good sup ,
ply of skilled workers, because
the Ruhr miners get additional
food bonuses for production and
Americans working for the Am
erican military government get
one good free meal per day and
a ration card allowing additional
food.
But the confusion among the
Germnas increases with Russian
propaganda that America is ex-
plotting Germany, and with the
contrary statements published in
American, French and British
controlled German newspapers.
The Germans do not know whom
to believe. They know only that

Despite all kinds of pressure
from the Russians, the elections
resulted in the choice of demo-
cratic government. The Russians
got only about 1871, although
they had something like 33R in
their own sector" -.
THAT isn't quite what l mean"
replied. Although you have
in the past had a limited mon
archy and then the Weimar Re-
public before Hitler, Germany
has never. had democracy as we
know it in America. My question
is, if you could now make the
choice, would it be for the Am
erican type of democracy, or the
kind of government you have had
before?"
Democracy" he said at once,
adding that Il have talked with
many Americans since the war,
and they all want to know how
we allowed Hitler to rise, and
why we supported him once he
came into power. z.
THE answer is--and I'm quite
sure you don't understand it, for
no Americans do-that when the
Weimar Republic began after
World War ], everything was all
right. But we had no experience
in your kind of democracy. The
result was that, in time, instead
of two major parties as you have
it in America, our parties began
to break up into smaller groups,
each with a slightly different po-
litical shading. We had 80 of
them in all.
Hitler came and made all sorts
of promiseS-to the workers, that
unemployment would be wiped
out, and to the farmers, that they
would once again. be prosperous.
He accomplished some of these
things quite quickly-and won
widespread support. Then at the
same time he began to organize
the country.
His system was nothing new.
He took something from Com
munist Russia and something
from Fascist Italy. But he built
up an organization which made
it absolutely impossible to resist
or throw him out. The people
who attempted to start resistance
were taken at once to cOncentra-
ton camps. This you cannot
! understand, but it is true. We
simply couldn't get rid of Hitler,
once he was in power. for he
controlled everything and every
body"
Gas you know" ! replied, "a
great many people in Europe dis
trust you, because they have
suffered now from two world
wars. Many of them don't have
much sympathy for Germany

other war;"

With the Concord grape season hard

about making full use of this fruit
for its time is all too short.

The famous Parker House in Bos-
ton is credited with originating Con-
cord grape ice cream. Here, though.
the Concords are supplemented by
other grapes to get the desired
flavor.
You'll need a pound of the Con-
cords and II pound each OF Malaga,
seedless and Tokay grapes. Pick
them all from the stems and wash
them well. Heat them in a little

make, but 1t must be aged a bit
before it is really ready for drink

To make gallons of wine you'll
need half a bushel OF the grapes.

The Chef Saws

The French always have known
the value of the marinade to make
tough meat tender and juicy. They
rarely cook any game without mar
mating it thoroughly first. And this
principle is one that could be ap-
piled with advantageous results to
the cheaper and coarser cuts of meat
that are about all our budget will
stand for these days.
In general, a marinade is mix
ture of vinegar, oil and spices. 1t
can be kept for several days, but
not longer than week. If the mar
made is strained after use. it can be
bottled and used when needed, add
ing additional wine and vinegar.
Here are three basic marinades
that can be used for meat and game:
Marinade l. In this instance, the
meat is seasoned well with salt and
pepper, laid in a glass or earthware
dish and covered with layer Of 8
finely sliced onions, 3 sliced carrots,
a couple of cloves, a bay leaf, little
thyme and parsley and a crushed
Glove of garlic. Toss in some black
peppercorns and. If you have them,
a few juniper berries. Mix 2 cups
dry red wine with u cup wine vine
gar and y cup olive oil and pour
over all. Let the meat marinate for
2 days, turning often and basting
with the liquid.
Marinade 2. Melt a couple of
tablespoons of butter and cook in it
a sliced onion and a sliced carrot, an
herb bouquet and crushed Glove of
garlic. After the vegetables have
just softened. add a cup of water, 2
tablespoons oil, Il cup dry red wine
and tablespoons of tarragon to the
pot. Let cook until the liquid Is re-
Guced about one-third. keeping
Id on the pot. Let cool and then
pour over meat or game prepared as
above. This also should stand for
two days.
Marinade 3. CThis is mostly for
small cuts of meat and small game.)
Season the object to be marinated,
put It in an earthenware bowl and
lay over it handful or so of finely
chopped onions, some thyme and SIX
sprigs of chopped parsley. Wet
down the works with u cup of olive
oil and u cup of lemon juice. This
one should soak for "a hours only.

drain and cook as usual. Some

Tomatoes
Tomatoes running wild in your
garden-and the family objects to
trying to eat through the crop?
Here's a suggestion that might be
helpful:
Chop up a couple of onions, put
in a pan with about tablespoons
of butter and a dash of marjoram,
thyme and basil. Add your toma-
toes, peeled and whole. Season them
with salt, pepper and little lemon
Juice. Put lid on the pan and
cook over a low heat for Is minutes.
Lift the tomatoes out carefully with
a skinner and put them on a serv-
ing platter, pouring the pan juices
over them.
These are especially nice with fish.
Beet Sauce

sauce for beets when dining in a
restaurant the other day and man.
aged to get the recipe from the
chef. 1t is wonderful with the
little canned beets which always
seem a bit too sweet to me.
Melt a tablespoon of butter or
margarine. Mix tablespoon OF
-four with u teaspoon salt and a
little black pepper. Add these dry
ingredients to the butter and proceed
as you would in making white sauce,
only instead of milk use "a cup of
water. When the ingredients are
blended smoothly, stir in 2 table
spoons brown sugar and ~ table
spoons of tarragon vinegar.
Then add a tablespoon of finely
grated horseradish and the cooked
or canned beets, whole or sliced. Let
