BANKERS AND FOOD PROBLEM

New York, April 2O-(By Union
Associated Press s)-Wall street is de-
voting much attention to the food
problem. At the outset of the Europ-
can war the great Powers directed lit
tie attention to this question, feeling
confident that they were well protect
ed, but forgetting to calculat the prob
able effect on the harvests of the
steady Withdrawals from the ranks
Of the toilers of the soil. They did
not realize its importance until the
shortage of food became a serious
matter. It is now admitted that the
food problem will grow more serious
ly as the European countries increase
their purchases here and men are TAX
ing from the farms and put in naval
and military service. For this rea-
son movement has been started to
impress through local campaigns all
over the country the necessity Of
planting every acre Of ground.

FEDERATION OF
WORLD COMING
Grand Alliance of America With AL
lies of Europe Gives Rise to Such
Hopes Says Lippmann.
{By Associated Press }

J Philadelphia, Pa, April 20-The
"grand alliance" between the United
States and the democracies of Europe
against autocratic aggression as prac-
ticed by Germany gives rise to the
hope that the war will lead to Fed
Grafton Of the World, in the. opinion
Of Walter Lippmann,, Of New York,
Associate Editor Of the "New Repub-
lic," expressed today in an address
on Americas Relations to the World
Conflict" before the American Acad-
emy of Political and Social Science.
II know it sounds a little old-fash-
ioned to use that phrase, the FEEDER
alton of the World" said Mr.. Lipp-
mann, because we have used it SO
long in empty rhetoric. But no other
idea is big enough to describe the al
lance. 1t is no longer an offensive
military agreement among diplomats.
1t il growing into a union of people
determined to end forever that intri-
guing, adventurous nationalism which
has torn the world for three centur-
les.
"The war is dissolving into stu
pendous revolution. A few months
ago we still argued about the Bagdad
corridor, strategic frontiers, colonies.
These were the stakes of the diplo-
mats war. The whole prospective is
changed today by the revolution in
Russia and the Intervention of Amer
lea. The scale Of values is trans
formed, for the democracies are un-
loosed.
I'VE are at war to defeat the Ger :
man government, to destroy its pres |
tige, to deny, it's conquests, and to !
throw it back at last into the arms of
the German people, marked and dis
credited as the author Of their mis-
cries. It is for them to make the final
settlement with it.
1--WE can win nothing from this war
unless it eliminates in a union Of
liberal peoples Sledgsdsto cooperate
in the settlement of.all. aSt spding !,
questions, sworn to turn against the
aggressor, determined to erect, q lar
ger and more modern system Of in
ternational law upon a federation of
the world. That is what we are fight
ing for at this moment, on the ocean,
in the shipyard and in the factory;
later, perhaps in France and Belgium,
