WHEAT HARVESTERS IN
GERMANY CHARGED WITH
“ECONOMIC TREASON”
BERLIN, Nov. 24 (by Associated
Press).—“Economic treason” is the
term applied by German writers to
those who in the past month since
| the gathering of the wheat harvest
| have sold great supplies of grain to
Holland, obtaining a better price than
the grain sells for in Germany, and
yet allowing the Dutch buyers to make
a huge profit.
The smuggling of grain across the
border is a fairly easy matter, and
so the German farmers in the west
have been sending tons across to Hol
land.
There is a legal provision forbid
ding the exportation of wheat and
other cereals, and a punishment of
from a month to a year imprisonment,
as well as fines up to 10,000 marks,
but threatened punishment is insuf
ficient to stop the practice.
