Ukrainians are now beginning to
realize that Germany desires to
make their republic vassal Teutonic
state, kept in poverty so that the
urgent food demands of the Central
Empires may be met. This situation
is even worse than that suffered by
Ukraine under the rule of the car.
At least the Romanoff rule permitted
the Ukrainians to feed themselves,

quirements of Germany and Austria

The conditions that are thus

pendent republic of Ukraine was to
put under control of Germany the
principal food supply region of Rus

on the score of gratitude and be-
cause of the comparative ease of dom
mating the new Ukraine government
they would have, no difficulty in
obtaining immense stores of food
stuffs from the south Russia, area.
