Officials in Washington

The German political crisis centers
principally on the questions of peace
and internal reform, according to a re-
view of State Department advices is

reason to believe that it will result in
anything remotely approaching revolu-

The review says it is apparent that
Germany's food supply will hold out

been intensified greatly during the past
