"Berlin:... The report by a special committee of the British Government appointed to investigate food-supply conditions evoked Foreign Office criticism here.

"The report is held to demonstrate that the uncounted millions in the British Emprie lead "a wretched, joyless existence," according to the Diplomatisch-Politische Korrespondans, because of "lack of training and scarcity of all kinds of necessities.

"Colonial work that leads to such result certainly cannot be cited as exemplary," it continues, "whereas the German colonial policy in a relatively short time achieved many great successes in the field of hygiene -- for example, in sleeping sickness -- whose beneficent after-effects are still perceivable in the Dark Continent.

"...The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung suggests that "the British would have more than enough to do were they to care for the people in their own world empire, instead of interfering in Germany's living space in Central Europe."

Well, well... isn't it touching, the Nazis deep concerns for hygiene amongst colonial populations. Possibly these concerns will find future expression as the Nazis expand their "living space in Central Europe." Didn't I hear they are building factories to produce a potent new delousing chemical -- Zyklon B, right? No doubt it will do wonders "improving hygiene" in Central Europe... < /sarc >
