Paris. Nov. 19-That Herbert Koov

here today.
The plea Of the Germans that con.
tinuenee OF the blockade will cause
great hardship owing 10 the food short
age is expected to be thoroughly inves-
-tigated by competent allied authorities
under Hoover direction.
Should the blockade be lifted, it is
poin,ci out, the entire food distribu
ton system of the world woula se dis
ruptod, as the Germans would be en-
abled to 90 into the open market and
bid against the allied and neutral coun-
tries.
Aside from nj tary considerations,
continuance Of blockade is there
fore deemed adv able as guarantee
hat Germany viii take her place in tic
food line with TIE rest of th' world.
