AGAIN DEFENDED
BY BRITISH PAPER
Blunt Hint of Trouble Over
Submarines, Declares the
Manchester Guardian.

LONDON. Jan. 10.--In renewing
discussion OF Ambassador Gerard's
recent speech In Berlin on German
American relations the Manchester
Guardian says: "The precise signifi-
canoe OF Mr.. Gerard's speech has
been missed in some quarters in Eng
land. but not in Germany
"Mr. Gerard" the Guardian de-
clares, said the relations between
Germany and the United states would
continue TO be good as long as the
Chancellor and the present chiefs re-
mained. That Is due TO the fail OF
Falkenhayn and Tirpitz. Who pinned
their hopes to expansion In the west
ever ruthless, as means of victory.
"Mr. Gerard knows President VIII
son fears tho failure Of his peace
move may be followed by sub
marine campaign as desperate a.
Germany can make II. and his speecs
really was a blunt hint of tho trouble
that such development would cause
with the United States"
The Guardian justifies the unusua
procedure OF the Ambassado IN in
tervening against one OF TWO opposing
political parties by surmising tha
"he can only have done so In the be
lief that the position was such as Il
need a pointed statement--one tina

Germany, Austria and Hungary was
summed up as follows by Adolph Won
Batocki. head of the German Food
Regulation Board. in an interview
with Swedish journalists as quoted in
o despatch from Berlin.
while there never has been any
question OF food difficulties in Hun
gary, Austria's grain harvest possi-

until the new harvest. and Germany
therefore contemplated delivery oi
some hundred thousand tons OF grain
to Austria. But now Austria's share
OF the Roumanian supplies enables
her TO dispense with the contribution
from Germany"
While saying there had been som'
local difficulties, Herr Won Batock
asserted he considered the situation
In hostile countries to be in man.
