ALLIES WANT FOOD FROM U. s.,
BALFOUR TELLS WILSON
Washington, April 24-What the
allies want from the United States
more than anything else is food.
This vital fact emerged above all
others from the trappings of diplo-
matte courtesy attending the initial
reception here of Foreign Sec'y
Arthur J. BalfOur and the British
comm by Pres. Wilson and other
American officials.
While the day was apparently Civ
en- over principally to surface cOur-
tesies and diplomatic greetings, the
various experts of both England
and America plunged at once into
the consideration of the vital prob
lens of shipping, munitions, finance,
military and naval affairs confront
ing the allies since the United States
has declared itself in.
There is no immediate concern
regarding sending Of troops to Eu-
rope" it was officially stated.
BalfOur conferred with Pres. Will
son. President Cunliffe of the Bank
of England conferred with Treasury
Sec'y McAdOO.
Naval experts Of both nations met
with Sec'y Daniels.
Military experts talked with Sec'y
Baker.
Shipping and trade advisers with
their corps of statistical and market
experts got down to details immedi-
ateIy with commerce dept officials.
- It was pooling of British brain and
bitter war experiences with American
wealth and resOurcefUIness
But it was made clear by a high Of
fetal of the commission that the
