Still, the American army's own investigation inves-tigation of the food supply in the occupied occu-pied area shows an antithetical situation. An ofiicial report covering the Ahrewel-ler Ahrewel-ler district says a food census of the city of Remagen just completed by the Germans, under the orders of the burgomaster, burgo-master, "shows even greater plenty than, was supposed." "Investigators report," it continues, "that they could linil no families who do not have in hand, or immediately available, availa-ble, suflicient food. As Remagen is one of our largest cities and by Its position most exposed to the inroads of outside purchasers, the inference must be drawn that oilier towns and ciiies at least &re as well off. Unless our departure Is followed fol-lowed by agitations and uprisings, there should he an era of marked prosperity and notably good labor conditions In this area for some time to come." |
