BRITAIN SUFFERS MOST
U.S.A. JOURNALIST’S ESTIMATE.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11. None of liberated Europe has suffered materially in this war as much as Britain, says H. R. Knickerbocker, “Chicago Sun” correspondent? in Brussels. “Driving 10,000 miles in a jeep through France and Belgium to Brussels, you become aware of this astonishing fact.” Ho says that the French and the Belgians as a whole were eating more and better food than the British when the Allies invaded Europe. “Where are the shabby down-trodden victims of the Germans? There are plenty of them in France and Belgium, but the average population of these two countries dresses better than the British. In France and Belgium rationing rules seem to have been made to be broken.”
