ALEXANDRIA GOES
GA-GA AT PRESENT
AP FEATURE SERVICE
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt — Not
since the lush days of World
War 1 has this ancient city —
Egypt’s “second capital” — seen
such mad spending, such dizzily
soaring prices, such roaring
night life.
The tens of thousands of dol
lars that pour daily from the
pockets of British seamen off war
ships based here have swollen
the cash boxes of theaters, res
taurants, hotels and night clubs
to bursting. Axis bombing of the
battleships in the harbor. the
rigidly enforced blackout and
the fact that Alexandria, like all
Egypt, is under martial law have
failed to curb the spending spree.
More westernized than Cairo.
Alexandria does most things Am
erican style. Men and women
wear American clothes, drink
American beer, smoke American
and English cigarets and the
movies are almost exclusively
American with French subtitles
and a special screen alongside
flashing titles in Arabic and
Greek.
" Local brewers couldn’t meet
the demand of British armed
forces for beer so dealers get
their beer off ships from New
York. It is the main source of
profit for cafe owners.
Food prices mount almost
daily despite government warn
ings and severe penalties for
profiteers. The government has
requisitioned all wheat supplies
in its drive against food spec
ulators. The average lunch in
an Alexandria restaurant costs
30 piastres or roughly $1.20 as
compared with 18 piastres a year
ago. There have been corres
ponding rises in breakfast and
dinner prices. Beefsteak, former
ly about 64 cents a pound, now
costs 92 cents and potatoes that
formerly sold for four cents a
pound now cost 20 to 36 cents.
