SHORT IN GERMANY
SWEETS, CARS. PETROL AMSTERDAM. Dec. 1. Men cannot buy new coats, women cannot buy new dresses, in Germany now, reports the Berlin correspondent of the Handelsblad. Here is the latest list of things it is useless to ask for, according to the Handelsblad: — You cannot buy sweets. Factories arc working full time, but for export only. You cannot buy cars. Even if you could—-you cannot buy petrol. You cannot buy wedding rings or anything else made ef platinum. You cannot exchange old jewellery for new jewellery. It is forbidden. ■ The last ban has given rise to reports that the Nazi Government may force everybody to hand over their jewellery to the State, as the Jews were forced to do.
