Vienna August 9. A generation ago Amer ican farm barter stretched to shoes and sugar. Now money floods Austria yet peasants trade for goods not cash.

Wool yields yarn for stockings, apple crops mortgaged for grain, miller paid in toll. A cottage host now sits among American periodicals aboard a cruiser in civilian trim.
