Germany and an equitable distribu-
ton is guaranteed"
Lansing Replies
The main portion OF the answer.
as given by this government thru
Secretary Lansing. said:
AT joint session OF the two
houses OF congress. on November IL.
the president OF the United States an
nounccd that the representatives OF
the associated government. in the SUI
prcme war council at Versailles,
have. by unanimous resolution, as.
sured the people OF the central EN-.
pircs that everything that is possible
in the circumstances will be done to
supply them with food and relieve
the distressing want that Is in so
many places threatening their very
lives, and that steps are to be taken
10 organize these efforts at relief in
the systematic manner that they
werc organized in the case OF Bel
GUM.
Furthermore, the president ex-
pressed the opinion that by the use
of idle tonnage of the central empires
II ought presently 10 be possible TO
lift the fear OF utter misery from
those oppressed populations. and set
their minds and energies free for the
great and hazardous tasks OF polit.
ical construction which now face
them on every hand.
Ready 10 Proceed
Accordingly. the president now d.
rects ne to state that he is ready to
consider favorabiy the supplying Of
foodstuffs TO Germany, and to take
up the matter Immediately with the
allied governments. provided he can
be assured that public order is being
maintained in Germany. and that an
equitable distribution of food can be
guaranteed"
Assistance will be forthcoming. be-
cause IL Is the purpose OF the allies
to check anarchy in the central
powers and prevent its spread.
One OF the significant factors in
tho present situation is the de
termination not to force the Ger
mans out OF Russia Immediately.
with anarchy already prevalent in
Russia, II is held that quick removal
OF the Germans would extend the
area of the Bolsheviki in Russia.

follows: -, s'.1i Is .
eDuring the month Of June, 1917, to
the best of my recollection, the mat
ter of The Washington Times became
of mutual interest to Mr.. Arthur Bris-
oape and a number OF brewers. Mr..
Brisbane, as have been informed by
him, had an option to purchase The
Washington Times from Mr.. Frank A
Munsey for a sum which / recall as
being 100000. The terms of this sale,
ASH recall them, were that $3.50, 900
Wa to be paid down, the balance to
be- paid in installments OF 10000
each, every six months.
SIN order to bring about the pur-
chase of The Washington Times, at
vafsous times advanced Mt. Brisbane
funds through the Growing Circula-
ton Corporation, a corporation which
] believe is either owned or con-
trotled by Mr.. Brisbane. The afore-
said funds were advanced on the
