No keeping up
Border regulations change at rapid pace
-
“You will say, why hasn't that been done yet, but that's because of the rapid succession of regulations & you can't get information that fast.”
FRANKFURT AM MAIN/NEW YORK
This letter from a father to his children is dominated almost entirely by concerns about transferring people and goods out of Germany. According to the writer, regulations were changing so rapidly that it was hard to keep track. Lately it had been decreed that both for articles to be shipped and for personal baggage, itemized lists had to be submitted which were subject to authorization. This could be rather time-consuming. The writer of the letter points out that the speed with which answers are given is not keeping up with the speed of the changes necessitating inquiries.
