As a woman, I feel any !woman any- where who can look at a well -stocked .pantry should 'thank heaven for two thing's. She should be Tgrateful that the essential artistes of the fancily diet have come her way and, in the second Place, she should be glad that they have not gone to !Hitler. For if Hitler had them, they would ,be used, not for food merely, abut in many cases for the manufacture of weapons of destruction. In Nazi Germany parte of aero- planes are made of milk, the fuel :for some of these aeroplanes es provided by alcohol extracted from potatoes, butter is nettle into explosives. This may sound somewhat fantas- tic, lbnt the !whole development of the German "substitute" inluetry amt the Nazis' exploitation of the most meek- elv materials for the manufacture of armaments by means of which they lope to gain tite mastery of the world is even more fantastic than that. 'In countries with a democratic and humane outlook it would .be thought shameful to convert foods essential to the ,health of the population into tbotn'bing aeroplanes and explosives.A very differend morality, however, ob- tains 1n Nazi 'Germany. Those people who are concerned just now lest the civil population of Europe should Ibe reduced to starvat- ion as the result of She B-ritish block- ade should bear 51 mind that Hitler is using only a part of the food sup- plies available to him to -feed the peo- ples of 'the subject countries, and is using the remainder as raw material for his armaments industry. This, moreover, has been his ;practice over. a period of several years. "1'he shortage of foodstuffs in Ger- many began to stake itself felt as early as .11,93;3; when the National Soc- ialist; tante. into power and 'began their preparations for a world war. For nearly eight years now the Ger- titan housewife has been fighting a dosing battle against malnutrition on. behalf of her family. She has had to put up with meatless days. to go short of fats and ,to make !clo with s khn-mrd ik. Ever since 1934, uniformed and arm- ed Nazis have _gone round inspecting the kitchens of private households in order to ensure that no more than the prescribed amount of food is !being !prepared. On "one -dish Sundays" restaurants might serve one -course meals, The hungry customers were told for their consolation that .31) per cent of what they paid for their scanty meal went to ;provide food'for the poor. Truth is that the 'German people have been kept short of food on such pretexts for years Crow, There 'were several reasons. The reduction of the neat and fat rations set a limit to expenditure on food and increased the capacity of the population to pay taxes which were used to pay for the ma ufacture of armaments, ,��s.'+eege eeeee ;•;ie w'Seg'figee. eeeet'au i.4`✓�hten9vs'xa'eieeeee w`•."„Q?etr) 9' t y. r h to e, tet ti; e The Christian Science PublishingSociete 0 One, Norway Street.
