When thieves stole a ton ,of white pepper from a London grinding mill recently, they enatehed nearly half of Britain's available supply, a haul worth over $8,000,°° Before :the war, ; when the world had a stock -pile of 50,- 000 tons, ,.•pepper sold at 61 an ounce, TO -day it has soared to 400 en ounce. All the world is pepper hun- gry. Not long ago the Customs seized an illicit shipment worth 145,000 at the London docks and put it on sale e-: but not to the ,home .markt, The :pepper was ,bought by the, United, States for • $90,000 representing, a spicy profit lbr -the' Bi'itlsh'taxpayer.

Because the pepper plant takes from five to seven years to reach fruitful maturity,' the world has been living on- its reserves, though the pepper ,famine: is al- ready breaking. Pepper smuggling by air --has become big business between. Stunatra`and Singapore. Chinese smugglers are cashing in on the precious pickles from which pepper is n)ade,•,and which were put in safe hiding sbortly before the war Whole families invested inr pickle berries as a safe means of investment.
