Artists who were confident of their hold on their audience even inâ€" sertrd direct allusions between th2ir lines. And when the precious offerings foll at their feet, they stooped to pick them up as they sang and hid them in their bosoms. During a performance one evening a whole packaze of cigarettes was thrown from the loges by a group of English volunteers. The audience gaspâ€" ed and then sent up a cry of admiration that was not unmixed with pain. ‘The performance was interrupted for a few moments. A roll of banknotss thrown onto a stage in America could scarsely have created a greater sensation. * ‘ I soon became hardened to such scenes. But my sangfroid could not make me indiff@rent to the following incident. A young woman who was not conâ€" nected with the official propaganda deâ€" partment had offered her services as Interpreter to me. She spoke a limpid Fronch; before the civil war she had made a habit of spending ° several months in Faris each year. She did her utmost to dress fashionably, and was reserved almost to the point of timidity. ‘The evening before my deâ€" parture Ilearned that her little daughtâ€" er had the grippe and offered her a box of tabletsâ€"not obtainable in Barcglona. She thanked me in a disâ€" tracted way. All usage and custom were upset by the tobacco famine. Toaacco had beâ€" come a veritable monectary standard. Money could no longer entice eggs, butter or chickens from the countryâ€" side or lure goods from their hoarding places in the cities. But tobacco never failed to turn the trick. In the stores it was poassible to buy only chopped up eucalyptus leaves, mixâ€" ed with moss and hayâ€"a combination that turrea your stomach. ‘How many times did I hear people say, "You could buy the whole city of Barcelona for a single package of tobacâ€" co!" _ One day a street cleaner accompanied me for. a whole hour to bhelp me find an: address.â€" When I~gave him a few cigarettes out of gratitude, he began trembling with emotion. _ *T ... I ... had quite forgotten how In 4 country that is passionately fond of its children, adults would scrap with little ots over cigarette butts in the gutter. The organized waiters in the cafes who indignantly refused tips as an insult streétch2d out their hands for tobazrco. to smoke," he mumbled I firs} came in contact with it as I was travelling in a bus full of carbinâ€" eros from the frontier town of Las Junqueras to Barcelona. When I Ilit a cigarette my companions visibly showâ€" ed grzat nervceoms strain. Some of them, unconscious of their facial expression, began twitching their lips as though they were parched with thirst. Others clenched their teeth. Some tried deâ€" sperately to feign unconcern. Several fixed their importunate gaze on me. In their eyes one could read the idzse fixo that obsessed them. Slizhtly embarrassed, I offered to pass my cigareites around. Rarely have I seen such 2ager, grasping hands. Yet these men were hardened soldiers, stoelâ€" ced in deprivation and struggle. In Barcelona I soon became accusâ€" tomed to this sort of thing. I could not walk across the loboy of my hotel withâ€" out the janitor, the slevator man and the bell boy asking me for a cigarette.. If I smoked on the street F would be followed by wellâ€"dressed men eyes were rivetted on my cigarette.

This has | been the case with one of the largest | London departmental stores, which preâ€" viously bought wom>n‘s dresses and costumes in Germany. The manufacâ€" turing firm now maks the same dresses | in this country. lt is estimated that| the ladies‘ clothing trade alohe is reâ€" sponsible for the employment of about | 1,000 additional British subjects. Two| .alhed businesses introduce another imâ€" porcant aspect of the whole subject of refugee industries. A successful wholeâ€" i sale millinery business which was estabâ€" lish»d only nine months azo is alréady employing 40 girls. The inter-estingi feature of the work in this case is that it is actually exported from England' to continental countries. Exports have . also been expanded by the introduc‘ion of an entirely new business to this | countryâ€"the manufacture of novelty | woollens through the instrumentality of | Similarly in the South Wales Special Area, refugzses ars bringing work to the districts where the need for work is greater than anywhere elss. Here are some instances. A silk printing factory now employs 40 and will soorn smploy 70 British workpeople; a leather glove factory employs 50; a new factory for the manufacture of patent fasteners will employ 50; confectionery and cakes will employ 20; wristâ€"watch straps already ‘»mploy 22; chrome leather 84; silk printing 44; bottle caps and gelatine products 26; surgicai adhesives 40; leather beiting 8; plain kid and fancy leather gloves 11. The Northeastern Special Area has benefitted especially from thre refuzeas‘ enterprises. A German Jewish refugse and his family for instance, are ostabâ€" lishing a finc furnishingâ€"matsrials facâ€" tory employing 40 British subjects; an Italian Jew, along with same Germans, is starting a mass produc:ion furnishâ€" ingâ€"fabrics factory which, beginning with 175 British employees is expected ultimately to employ about 2,000. Other firms are marufacturing soups, deliâ€" catessen, furnishings, lamp shades, 2lecâ€" trical equipment, work boxes and furniâ€" ture, and a cement hardening process is being started. Already a number of men have booked factories and propase coming {o the Team V:iley estate as soon as they are able to get out of Germany. There have been some events of maâ€" jor importance. In some cases whole industries, or sections of industries, have been completely to this country. The whole of the valuâ€" able fur trade of Leipzig, for instance, has been transferred to this country. The greoater part of the present l>athâ€" er basg industry now established in Engâ€" land has since 1931 been built up by German Jews, the majority of whom of ccourse took up residence here and increased their businesses after :033..
