sition it is in at present. said DR.. JOS

to the correspondent today.
I'VE hope there is no revengeful de-
sire on the part OF the Allies to see US
remain in poverty" he continued. Our
enemies should be generous and remem-

considered her duty TO her ally and
tried repeatedly to give UP the war. II

ourselves. Our people are farmers and
men Of the industrial classes, all will
ing to work and not inclined to Boz
shevism. Our financial position looks
like bankruptcy on paper, but we are
able to pay our war debts.
Our gold reserves are small-perhaps
half million crowns-but that is Of
no great importance. in my opinion
What I urge is that we be helped back
to productive basis. If we can get
food now we will be able to keep order
II we can get coal we will begin work
ing. If we Gan get cotton, metals and
raw materials. production will go on.
We will also be quiet politically, which
is desired by America and the Allies.
Whether we are lied up to the German
federation or not is an unsettled ques-
ton, even among ourselves. 1t is my
opinion that we must form a federation
with the broken up parts of the former
empire for commercial purposes"

ITALY NEEDS MORE
SUPPLIES THIS MONTH

Rome, Monday. Nov. 25.-The epidemic
of grippe in Italy during September, Oc-
tober and November added to the diff
culties of the food supply. DR.. Silvio
Crespi, the food minister, declared In
the Chamber of Deputies today in
statement regarding the food situation.
During this period, he stated, about
one-third of the personnel of the rail-
ways have been victims of the malady,
complicating the situation just at a
time when the Italian offensive was ia
progress and the effective Transporter
ton of supplies through efficient rail-
way service was indispensable. The re-
manning railway men, however, by re
doubling their efforts had succeeded in
making up the deficiency in labor.
This winter, the minister said. italy
needs more supplies than she did last
year, as she must feed the reconquered
provinces of the kingdom and the re-
deemed territories in addition. There
were also more than 100000 Austrian
prisoners. making a total of about o.
900 more mouths to feed.
Signor Crespi expressed the hope that
the inter-alled food and tonnage COM
mttees would continue to work salts
factorily and that at a meeting with
Herbert c. Hoover. the American food
administrator. now in Europe, an ar
rangement would be arrived at to meet
the situation. He added that the OK
pectation was that within year the
tonnage of the world would be doubled.
causing a great reduction in shipping
rates and consequently lower prices for
food.
