II. S. Coffee Price
Cheap Beside
Iron Curtains

NEW YORK, Feb. % (CDN) -
If you think coffee costs a lot
here now take a look at what
it costs behind the Iron Curtain.
In Russia, at the official rate
Of exchange, a pound costs $4.78:
in Romania. $6.47: in Hungary.
$13.54; in Czechoslovakia, $685.;
in Bulgaria. $21.39. and in Po-
land, $45.45.
Moreover. prices are even
higher on the black market,
which is the only place coffee
can be had when the state stores
run out, as they often do, because
the supply is strictly controlled
by the Communist governments.
Since workers behind the Iron
Curtain make far lower wages
than those in capitalist coun-
tries. these prices make coffee
a prohibitive luxury for them.
