Blac Market network finances russia9s German occupation German stooges say by Richard w. S. Weil Berlin oct 12 ins a Gigantic network of russian Blac markets throughout the East and West sectors of Ber Lin is financing the soviet occupation of Germany at the rate of millions of Marks every Day. The Story of these Black markets operating now and for the past two years As unofficial Arm of russian policy was disclosed in detail by German sources who participated directly in their Pheno Menal growth. Originally they were Littlemore than a Means of informal barter Between russian troops and the German population of the , by draining East German farms and factories of most of their production they have emerged As one of the country biggest businesses. Interestingly enough these Blac markets have assumed their greatest importance to the russians since the German currency Reform last Spring. The reason is simple they Are now the major source of the West German Marks which the soviets need desperately to pay for their vast and Ever expanding poli tical apparatus in the ., British and French zones where East German Money 4s valueless. The russians have assured themselves of this flow of West Marks by establishing them As the Only currency acceptable for Blac Market Deal Ings. Thus in the soviet sector Oberlin the Money which the russians themselves have sponsored is worthless for buying any of the Many items which Are available to Ber liners Only through Black Market  very organization of these Blac markets show How integral a part they Are of the soviet  responsible for keeping them supplied is the German economic commis Sion dwt set up by the russians to regulate All Industry and agriculture in the soviet  official order the dwt allocates a heavy share of a least zone goods to Blac Market wholesale dealers located principally in what was formerly the main business District of downtown Berlin. Private shops in the soviet sector Are Bare because the russians prefer to Trade Only for their Blac Market West Marks. But the warehouses of the wholesalers some of them standing in the very Shadow of soviet police Headquarters Are crammed with items that can be found nowhere else in russian held areas. Ten million cigarettes a million pairs of stockings Anda half million pounds of Choco late Are a Normal Day s Stock for these wholesale marts. These jobbers in turn sail to the multitude of Street Ven Dors who peddle the Black Market wares to the Public. Every transaction is carried out in West Marks. The Street Vendor must use them to set the his accounts with the dwt. There is no question of where these goods come from. Soviet sector businessmen staring at empty shelves Day after Day know the Points of origin with an accuracy most embarrassing to the  stockings for example Are manufactured at several places in Saxony. Sugar comes from the German sugar beet growing districts of Halle and Magdeburg. Raw Coffee is imported fron Africa and the Balkans and tobacco is brought in from Russia Yugoslavia and bul  brands of cigarettes Are plentiful All of them manufactured in russian con trolled factories at Dresden. There Are also Large quantities of american cigarettes and chocolate for Sale. These Are brought up by russian agents in the . Zone stored in secret collecting Points and then smuggled across the Border by the truck Load. These purchases of Amer ican items have proved a Gold mine for the russians. Scarci ties brought on by the Block Ade have forced up the prices of american items in Berlin. The russians on the other hand Are Able to buy Cigar ettes in Frankfurt for four Marks a pack and sell them in Berlin for six or seven. Moreover they Are Able to undersell the Small Independent Blac markets in the West sectors which must offer their a ares at a Mark or two higher. The russian sponsored Black Market wholesalers Are direct agents of the soviet administration which guarantees them immunity from  the Small Street vendors Are not so fortunate. The russians have repeatedly denounced Blac marketing and so for appearances the Street salesmen find themselves arrested at frequent intervals. By Jack Bell Albany .
