Disappointing Experiences To the Editor of the "Norra Cuma Dany News"
Sir,—Nearly every day one reads that the rice situation is well in. hand, that there is no danger of shortage, that so many thousands of bags "are arriving, eic, ahd yet to actually buy any is getting impossible in spite of it all.
What exactly is the reason for this? Are the shops hoarding in the hope of higher prices, or what is happening? Also, there seem to be restrictions if any attempts are made to bring in any from outside?
Yesterday, two of my household staff went at 1 o'clock and stood in a crowd waiting. One came home exhausted at 7.30, saying they had been pushed around all day in a seething mass, with police hitting around with their batons when it got extra bad; the other came home at, 9.30, and still with no supply of rice! is there any explanation, advice, or hope of any improvement?
