...have so many coal mines, yet coal is rationed," wrote a Polish housewife last month to Radio Warsaw. "Where is it all going?" Warsaw's answer: "For the great constructions of Socialism"-i.e., Red army steel and munitions plants. The Poles had other troubles. Cracow's Communist Echo grumbled that "not even State [haberdashers] can conceal sleeves of different lengths, bursting seams, ill-fitting collars, missing buttons." Polish children go hungry. The potato supply, wrote Warsaw's Trybuna Ludu last month, is only 40% of the quota; since then, spuds have become even scarcer...

The total of these clandestine deposits is many millions of francs." Although seven billion francs, seized in the train robbery, had been returned to the French government after liberation, a sum of three billion was still unaccounted...
...Owes Whom? L'Echo accused Guingouin of planning to use the hidden funds to launch a battle against the Communist Party. The money, he replied, belonged to the Resistance, and much of it had been spent on a "fraternal association of former Maquis" and on publishing 10,000 copies of "documents of the Maquis." A further accounting was given by former Maquis Aide Paul Ferret: "We have given 33 million francs to the Communist Party for the purchase of a vacation camp, six million more for buying another property destined for the repose of Communist big shots from Paris...
