Food Problems of
the Nation.

London. April 12.-Herbert C.
Hoover. head Of the American COM
mission for relief in Belgium. has ac-
copied the craftsmanship offered him
by the National Defense Council of
the new food board in the United
States.
After having accepted the position
Of chairman of the American food
board, Mr.. Hoover made the follow
ing statement to the Associated Press
outlining his plans:
Il will at present continue as
chairman Of the Belgian relief COM
missions but will return to the United
States shortly. The Dutch have Ia
ken over control Of relief inside of
Belgium and Northern France and
opened relations with the German
government, the activities of the Bel
elan relief commission now being
confined to financing the purchase
and delivery of supplies at the Bel
gian frontier. My very able and long
experienced colleagues, Messrs. Hon
mold, Poland, Brown. Grey and kel-
logs, are entirely able, any one Of
them. to carry on the direction of the
relief work. l shall, however. give
them such assistance on the financial
side as may be necessary.
Find Necessities.
"Beginning today | am initiating a
wide inquiry in France, England and
Italy, in cooperation with govern
ment departments. into the cSistin.

LEADERS OF
ALLIES WILL
COME TO U.S..
Commission Planned to Dis
cuss the Conduct of
the War.

Washington, April 10. - Assembly
in Washington within a few weeks OF
a great international war council was
foreshadowed by an announcement
from the state department yesterday
that a British commission headed by
Arthur J. Balfour, minister Of for
eign affairs, is expected to arrive
within ten days to discuss with the
government here questions connected
with the conduct Of the war. In adj
dition to the foreign minister, the
commission will include Admiral De
Chair Of the British navy, General
Bridges Of the army and the gov
ernor Of the Bank Of England. at
tended by a numerous STAFF.
French Also.
This was as far as the announce
ment made by the state department
goes, but it was earned authors
tatively that a French commission
composed Of officials and officers
equally as distinguished as the Brit
ish representatives also will be in
Washington about the same time.
This commission will be headed by
NJ. Viviani, at present minister Of
justice in the French cabinet, and
formerly premier.
It is not known definitely whether
any of the other allied powers will
send commissioners to Washington
difficulties in passage and h prob
able delay, the interests of these gov
ernments will be confined to their
resident ambassadors.
Discuss Tactics.
Beyond the statement that the OBJ
ject Of the commission is to discuss
generally questions of policy con-
nected with the war, no information
vas given out at the state depart
ment. 1t was made clear. however.
that in no way will the United States
government depart from the tradi-
tional policy of avoiding anything in
the atu of political alliances.

clude full and intimate military and
naval cooperation in the prosecution
of. the war.
While 1t is by no means certain
that there will be a Joint meeting of
the visiting commissions, If the state
department should desire to avoid the
certain to be concert of action in
some way.
Munitions and Food.
The greatest problem before the
conference Is stated to be the main
tenance of the flow of American mu-
nitions and food supplies to Europe.
This would be sought first by naval
cooperation to fight the German sub
marine; second, by construction Of a
feet of wooden merchantmen to mega
tive its destructiveness; and third, by
a ways and means to increase Ameri-
can manufacture and the allies abili-
ty to pay for the products.
Naval cooperation is understood to
contemplate the policing of all North
and South American waters by the
American navy, allowing the return Of
the British n French vessels engag-
ed in that work, and the safeguarding
by American ships of at least part Of
the sea lane to Europe.
Military Plans.
The military participation of the
United States ais probably will be
discussed. There is an intense desire

with the story today.
When he vas captured. the vice
consul informed his captors of his
identity and official position. Some of
them wanted to kill him; others to
hold him for ransom, but the larger
portion favored holding him prisoner
only long enough to complete the
raid.

belonging to Duncan and his COM

country as a neutral, must now be

obvious that none of the restrictions
built up by the allies will be abandon

The United States is stated, there

The situation of the few remaining
neutrals is expected also to call for

several other nations will definitely

The demand for farm labor in Canada is

Canada will give n hundred ana sixty

allow the farm laborer, who files on land,
to apply the time he is working for

men working on Canadian farms for at

Ing the necessity of actual residence to

is in no a connected with enlistment
