FOOD THIEVES
CROWD PRISONS
(By Carl Sandburp)
STOCKHOLM. Sweden. Mar. 14 -
Prisons of Sweden are filled with food
thieves who have sold their plunder
to the hungry with mpney to buy.
I am not spre but some of the social
and political unrest in Europe po s
back in part to this thinp of every
body sayinp daily and almost hourly
as a proverb or somethinp to be re
remembered: You can buy anvthinp
you need if you’ve pot the money.
I have talked with men from Ger
many, Russia and the Balkans, h rom
every country the story is the same:
“You can buy anythinp you need of
food or clothes if you have money.*'
SEWARD, ALASKA.
LUMBER and BUILDERS
K very whore is scarcity and shortage
in all open markets an<l in some re- i
gions theie is famine. In all regions
they are using roots, weeds and barks.
Wherever people talk in the cities,
they joke or swear about “the eats we
have.”
Six thousand bread cants were
tolen from the main distribution of- j
flee in Stockholm one Sunday night
last month.
The government announced that
new cards, of a different design,
would be issued, and the 0,000 cards
tolen were never peddled.
“Buy a bread card, mister? Want
a potato card? Is the low-voiced query
of Stockholm con men, who slip up
close to you on the street or in the !
restaurant or railroad station. They ,
disappear rapidly if you don’t buy.
If you do buy, then they figure on
you for a regular customer. Then they
offer to tell you where you can buy
a
bread, sugar, butter, lard, chocolate
tobacco. They sell information for so
many crowns-, and the speculators,
smugglers and profiteers they send
you to have a wonderful shake-down
system for making you pay what they
think you can afford.
About two or three times a week,
it seems, they have been snagging
c’garet smugglers coming from Fin
land. One had 150,000 cigarets hidden
in clothes, mattresses, boxes and bar
rels in different parts of the boat or
which he was a passenger. Custom
officers first found 10,000, then var
ious 25,000 lots tucked in fore and aft
Sweden has the lowest crime rat2
in the world. For the first time,
it has a prison-crowding problem. Ami
I am told that, in the countrii s to th *
south and east among nations that
have been in war, there,too, the pris
ons would be full to overflowing ex
cept for the fact that so many food
thieves have been shot and killed.
