••In thousands of homes there is
nothing to eat except possibly black, '
soggy bread made from a 25 per cent !
mixture f rotting oats or rye flour 1
milled whole with 75 per cent birch !
bark sawdust and ground barley
straw. it's impossible to get food.
On* man near the eastern border <
handed me a purse containing 40,000 -
Finnish marks <$4,000) and pointing '<
to his starving children, cried, 'For >
God’s sake buy some food for them.’ ” I
