German Efficiency
Proves Failure in
Handling of Food
L _ J
V-—
People Starve and Petty Officers, Bound
by Red Tape, Insist on Carrying Out
Cumbersome Rules to the Letter.
BASLE. — A Swiss correspondent who traveled
through all parts of Germany during the last two months
writes to the Basle National Zeitung: » |
“There is no doubt that the food shortage in Germany
is greater now than at any time since the beginning of the
war. In the large cities and also among the poorer classes
of the smaller towns I have seen much suffering.
“The suffering in the large centers of population is only
partly caused by actual lack of food. For much of the
want the government is to blame, as the elaborate sys
tem of control and distribution has broken down in many
places. In this case the far-famed German efficiency has
proved a failure. Red tape hampers the collection and
transportation of supplies, and the people go hungry
while fussy officials waste their time with silly formalities
and worthless statistics.
“During my sojourn in t ologne*i
about eighty carloads ot* meat, cheese,
butter, eggs, dried fruit and other
foods arrived. The victuals were
badly needed and the population in
sisted on their immediate distribution.
The easiest and simplest way would
have been to deliver the supplies to
the retailers from the cars in the
freight yards, but the bureaucratic of
ficials. who always go by the letter
of their instructions, would not have
it so. They insisted that toh provisions
had to be carted to the public store
houses to be entered anti minutelj
examined there. 1 his was done tie
spite all protests, and in the mean
time the people had to go hungry lor
four or five days.
“Similar cases where efficiency has
become a gruesome farce came to my
notice in many other places on my
travels through the empire. In one
town I was informed that the people
had to go without bread for a week
because the mayor discovered a small
typographical error in the bread cards
and returned them to the printer.
While the cards were being reprinted
the hungry inhabitants of the town
could not obtain an ounce of bread.
“One of the worst mistakes the Ger
man government has made was that it
showed too much solicitude for the j
agrarians or large land owners. This
comparatively small, but politically
very influential, class has made enor
mous profits out of the war and is
still permitted to hold large supplies
of food. If these are confisicated as
the public now demands the question
of feeding the population of the large
cities until next summer will be
solved.”
The Mennonites of Western Canada
being forbidden by their faith, have
sent no volunteers, but are aiding the
allies with money.
