Lord Eustace Percy of British Trade
Department Says Tonnage Is
Chief Problem.

Washington, May 3.-Keeping up
with the submarine is the paramount
problem facing the war conference
now in progress here between Ameri-
can, French and British experts. It is
considered even more important
than the food exigency, for without the
ships to transport to Europe, Ameri-
can food will be of little value.
1t was announced that the Hamburg
American liners Portonia and Clara
Mennig at New York had been turned
over by the American government for
will go to France and the other to
Italy.
Lord Eustace Percy of the British
foreign trade department emphasized
this when he received Washington cor
respondents for this first interview.
He made no attempt to conceal the
fact that the tonnage situation is a
very serious one. He reiterated
Lloyd Georges warning of several
weeks ago that if the war is to be
won, if Prussianism is to be crushed,
| there must be "shipsI" "Ships! And
more ships" !"
Lord Percy has been in constant
communication with the governments
shipping experts, notably the federal
shipping board, since his arrival here
and he was warm in his praise of the

Food Chief Declares Submarine Situa-

Hoover arrived from England on an

his new position as head of the coun-
try's food board.
Submarine destruction has been
steadily increasing for six weeks. The
situation is one of extreme gravity,
make sure of that" declared Mr..
Hoover.
'The European food situation as
well as the general war situation there
requires every possible effort we can
make" he said. "What Europe needs
most is wheat, and it must have wheat,
but it must also have beef and pork
products.
Like every good American, I have
come over to do my share" he contin-
ued. ''My new duty is too big propo-
sition to discuss at this time"

opinion that Germany will be practical

after the war.

boasted efficiency, have never had the
courage to face their financial prob

war is over they will be hard put to

The Teutonlc governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained, their interest
charges would be so. great that he be-
lieved they would either have to repu-
diate large part of their debt or face
inability to buy the enormous quanti-
ties of material they would need for
reconstruction.
The allies, he added, had paid their
way in the war "by the straightfor-
ward and natural means, by pouring
out their gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by rails.

that the end of the war would find the
allies in good shape financially, despite
their enormous permanent debts.
