CONTROL OF EXPORT
OF FOOD SUPPLIES

WASHINGTON, April 20 - Presi
dent Wilson and his cabinet took up
today the question of regulating food
exports to the northern European neu.
trail and thus prevent food reaching

Whatever policy is adopted will not
interfere with the shipments to neut
rails unless they benefit Germany.

tered the war against Germany Off
cials realize that the burden of stop.
ping the flow of food into the enemies
country through the north must fall
largely on this government.
Great Britain of course will can
tinue to maintain the blockade of the
German coasts. Under embargo legis-
lation pending in Congress with ap-
proval of the administration the gov
eminent could not ration the Euro
pean neutrals.
