On this 26th day of June 1945, before me, C. C.

I think Polack here’s still a little drunk.’’ Polack raised a threatening fist and said: ‘‘Why you. .” Major Joppolo said: ‘‘What’s all this about a present?’’ Chuck said: “‘Sir, we just got some you a present. We thought maybe we could find a present for you in the house. We knew you was Italian, more or less, and we thought you’d like something Italian from the house. That’s all there was to it? Major Joppolo said, and his voice was much softer: ‘I’m not Italian, boys. I’m American, and sometimes I’m not as proud of it as I’d like to“be.”’ Then the Major turned to Quattrocchi, and he said in Italian: ‘I hardly know what to tell you. I know that no apologies and no payment can ever return what you have lost. I wish to tell you that were to you. I wish to tell you, Quattrocchi, that I feel less proud of being an American than I did yesterday. These men will be punished justly and severely for what they have done. I want you to file a claim for payment for what was destroyed, and I wouldn’t blame you for doubling the prices. That’s all I can say, Quattrocchi.”’ Quattrocchi said: “I don’t know about most Americans, but I know I can always get justice from you, grams). “*You cannot allow any longer this tiranny against the poors!’’ ‘Respectfully, ‘“Matteo Cacopardo.”’ The thing which interested Major Joppolo in this note was the fact the black market. He had intended for some time to investigate it. Now he did, and what he found was disturbing. The black market was not the fault of corrupt Fascists. It was not even the fault of the. merchants who jacked their prices out of all bounds. It was the fault of the invaders. Demonstrably, it was the fault of the Americans. There were two reasons why the Americans gave Adano its black market, and the inflation which inevitably went with it. One reason was American generosity. Apparently the Italians thought the Americans were coming to their soil shouted in the streets for candies. And the Americans gave what was begged. They also gave C Rations, both cans which they had opened and had been unable to finish, and unopened cans. When they bought anything, they figured the price by their heart. And the second thing was that when they bought anything, and could not find an Italian-speak-. ing pal to dicker for them, they just paid what they figured they would have paid in the -United didn’t even notice what the purple slip Said. The Technical Sergeant put the four copies and the original purple slip into Col. Norris’s incoming basket. It happens that Col. Norris had an assistant, one Lieutenant ButHe always wanted to know what the Battle Order was the moment it was drawn up, before it even went to regimental commanders. The only advantage of Lieutenant Butters’ curiosity was that he usually read Colonel Norris’s mail more carefully than either Colonel Norris or his Technical Sergeant. The morning after the Technical Sergeant put the purple slip and the four copiés into’the Colonel’s incoming basket, Lieutenant Butters got up bright and early, dressed, shaved out of his helmet, and before breakfast went to Colonel Norris’s desk and went through his incoming basket. had finished, put the pile back into the incoming basket, and then tucked the purple slip and the four copies into a portfolio on his own desk. Later in the day, when the Colonel was out to a conference, Lieutenant Butters took out the purple slip and the four copies. He called the Technical Sergeant over to his desk. “Did you see these?” the Lieutenant asked. FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE DRIVE IN FOOD PALACE Vegetables Beer and Wine COR.

On this 26th day of June 1945, before me, C. C.

I think Polack here’s still a little drunk.’’ Polack raised a threatening fist and said: ‘‘Why you.. .” Major Joppolo said: ‘‘What’s all this about a present?’’ Chuck said: “‘Sir, we just got some you a present. We thought maybe we could find a present for you in the house. We knew you was Italian, more or less, and we thought you’d like something Italian from the house. That’s all there was to it? Major Joppolo said, and his voice was much softer: ‘I’m not Italian, boys. I’m American, and sometimes I’m not as proud of it as I’d like to“be.”’ Then the Major turned to Quattrocchi, and he said in Italian: ‘I hardly know what to tell you. I know that no apologies and no payment can ever return what you have lost. I wish to tell you that were to you. I wish to tell you, Quattrocchi, that I feel less proud of being an American than I did yesterday. These men will be punished justly and severely for what they have done. I want you to file a claim for payment for what was destroyed, and I wouldn’t blame you for doubling the prices. That’s all I can say, Quattrocchi.”’ Quattrocchi said: “I don’t know about most Americans, but I know I can always get justice from you, grams). “*You cannot allow any longer this tiranny against the poors!’’ ‘Respectfully, ‘“Matteo Cacopardo.”’ The thing which interested Major Joppolo in this note was the fact the black market. He had intended for some time to investigate it. Now he did, and what he found was disturbing. The black market was not the fault of corrupt Fascists. It was not even the fault of the. merchants who jacked their prices out of all bounds. It was the fault of the invaders. Demonstrably, it was the fault of the Americans. There were two reasons why the Americans gave Adano its black market, and the inflation which inevitably went with it. One reason was American generosity. Apparently the Italians thought the Americans were coming to their soil shouted in the streets for candies. And the Americans gave what was begged. They also gave C Rations, both cans which they had opened and had been unable to finish, and unopened cans. When they bought anything, they figured the price by their heart. And the second thing was that when they bought anything, and could not find an Italian-speak-. ing pal to dicker for them, they just paid what they figured they would have paid in the -United didn’t even notice what the purple slip Said. The Technical Sergeant put the four copies and the original purple slip into Col. Norris’s incoming basket. It happens that Col. Norris had an assistant, one Lieutenant ButHe always wanted to know what the Battle Order was the moment it was drawn up, before it even went to regimental commanders. The only advantage of Lieutenant Butters’ curiosity was that he usually read Colonel Norris’s mail more carefully than either Colonel Norris or his Technical Sergeant. The morning after the Technical Sergeant put the purple slip and the four copiés into’the Colonel’s incoming basket, Lieutenant Butters got up bright and early, dressed, shaved out of his helmet, and before breakfast went to Colonel Norris’s desk and went through his incoming basket. had finished, put the pile back into the incoming basket, and then tucked the purple slip and the four copies into a portfolio on his own desk. Later in the day, when the Colonel was out to a conference, Lieutenant Butters took out the purple slip and the four copies. He called the Technical Sergeant over to his desk. “Did you see these?” the Lieutenant asked. FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE DRIVE IN FOOD PALACE Vegetables Beer and Wine COR.
