Expenditure Of Money.

Removal Of restrictions now placed
by the American government on loans
TO allied governments to permit ex-
Denditure in other countries than the
United States, is one of the principal
financial subjects being discussed with
allied governments by Oscar T. Cros-
by. the Treasury's representative on the
American war mission now in Europe.
Suggestion From Abroad.
A strong suggestion has come from
abroad, it Is said, that the Washing
ton government should not insist that
practically all Its credits to allies be
used in purchases here. but that the
money be spent wherever it might be
most economically valuable. Amer
lean officials In the past have expressed
their willingness to give the largest
possible measure OF cooperation for
success of the war. and 1t is believed
the government will consider seriously
any. suggestions for more economical
pooling of resources.

Provide for Sweeping Census.

The regulations provide that a
sweeping census OF all registered men
be carried out. Every man must state
the work on which he has been en-
gagged during period Of years. Lists
can then be made up of the number of
men trained to any occupation who
are available for service. If the Army
has need of large number of men Of
any particular trade, those in that
trade will be called up for service
without regard to their draft status as
to men in other trades. but in the new
order of classification provided IN the
regulations.
Under the law. however, men can be
summoned in this way only for work
directly connected with the military es-
tablishment and will be formally brought
into the military establishment to be as
signed to their particular branch of
military work. They cannot be con-
scripted for service in private plants
even II such plants are at work on gov
ernment orders.

essary a special exemption list of ship

draft age necessary to carry out its pro-
gram.
There IS no intention, it was stated,
of extending similar exemption to en-
ployes of munition and other plants en-
gagged on government work. Only the
great necessity Of eNpediting the ship
building of the country to answer the
submarine menace has brought about
the action affecting shipyard employees.
Coupled with that action. however. is
the plain statement that a man can en-
foy such exemption only when actual

Had to Cut Down Rations.

After Belgian relief ships were sunk
by U-boats and Germany refused to
Similar service the commission found
it Impossible to charter vessels from
the neutral nation. The only solution
was to reduce the per capita daily ra-
ton. so the Belgians were cut down to
a ration of 500 calories- OF this the
commission supplied 760 calories from
their local resources-that is. the Ger.
mans permitted the Belgians to eat
part of the foodstuns raised on Belgian
soil. Two thousand Ave hundred ca
lories daily is considered the minimum
ration on which health can be main
tanned.
The tuberculosis that has swept Bel
gium for the last six months so
alarmed the relief commission that 1t
purchased ships despite their tremen-
dous cost. and so was able to increase
the food ration to one moro capable OF
sustaining life. Thereupon the Ger
mans cut down the proportion OF the
ration they had been supplying.

s75,ooo,ooo Loan Is Exhausted.

The American government lent the
relief commission s12,500.000 month
for six months from June l last-s75.-
10000 in all. But. in a sense, a string
was tied to this money-it had to be
spent in America. Before the United
States entered the war France was
lending the relief commission ss.000.ooh
a month for the relief of her country
men who are under the German heel and
SIS. .OO0. 900 month to help the hungry
Belgians. This money is still being ad-
vanced by France, but. as It turns out,
1t comes out of the credit given to
France by the American government,
on which France is paying interest
England lent $5,000.000 a month to the
commission on security given by the
Belgian provinces and towns behind the
German lines. In the present shipping
situation the commission must buy all
it can in England. and 1t has bought
there rice coffee. peas. beans. flour and
clothing. There Is no money available to
pay for these supplies. although the COM
mission is negotiating with the United
States to pay for them with part OF the
American money credited to 1t.
When America entered the war 1t was
understood and. indeed. announced. that
she would assume the burden Of feeding
Belgium OF course, the relief commits
sion understands that America has made
much larger loans to the allies than were
expected and that she Is expending huge
sums on her own account.

Blame for Shortage.

"The commission has been powerless
to prevent these losses. and only the
terrible conditions Of the war can be
blamed for the shortage.
Now, however, the situation has be-
come nearly normal, and we win de-
liver in Rotterdam for the quarter end
ing December 26 approximately 305.o00
tons of foodstuffe. which will meet the
requirements in practically all of the
necessary supplies, but does not leave
sufficient margin for building up the
depleted stocks, and we are actually
nearer supplying the limited ration
now than at any time during the past
year.
"It must be positively understood that
the American government has at no
time refused any demands for neces-
sary funds and the dispatch under the
Paris headline Is entirely erroneous In
conveying any such impression.

Herbert Hoover BIames
Shipping Conditions for
Food Crisis in Belgium

Herbert Hoover. chairman of the
commission for relief of Belgium. in a
statement last night denies a press dis
patch from Paris that the shortage of
food in Belgium was due to lack Of
funds He pointed out that the s75.-
ooo, 900 loaned by the United States to
Belgium and France for carrying on
the relief work has not been exhaust
ed. and that the scarcity Of shipping
and delays consequent to submarine
activities have been responsible for the
shortage Mr.. Hoovers statement fol-
lows in part:
THE entire question Of feeding the
civilian population in occupied Bel
gium and northern France has resolved
Itself into question of shipping.
"From the 1st Of February to the LIST
Of October there were actually deliv-
cred in Rotterdam 400 900 tons Of food
stuffs, and there were shipped an ad-
dition 25Oo00 tons which failed to
reach it's destination owing to sink
ings or because Of inability to oom-
plete delivery Of goods in transit
through the war zone. In addition de-
lays to steamers in transit have en-
tailed a loss in carrying capacity OF
over 100 900 tons.
