Food and then more food and trained

tribution to end the European war The
question of soldiers is serious, but it can
wait without causing a serious crisis. This
was emphasized here today as the State

the arrangements for the conferences be-
tween the President and the Cabinet and
the members Of the Anglo-French commits

ing France made 1t possible for the depart

this connection it again has been emphasized
by the Administration that there will be no
quibbling in loaning the $4,000 100000 set
aside for that purpose. 1t will be placed
to the credit of the nations as soon as the
exact needs can be outlined.
But 1t is not money that is most needed.

they are glad to have it. The food prob
