POTATOES IN POLITICS
Potatoes became a political issue in the Danzig-Polish quarrel in July.
Danzig officials said that Polish Customs officials were refusing to permit trucks carrying potatoes to cross the frontier in the Free City's territory. Danzig housewives complained of a potato shortage. The newspaper "Neueste Nachrichten" said that at one border point the Poles turned back potato trucks with the remark: "Poland is not interested in providing food for German soldiers stationed in the Free City."
