Herbert Hoover is going to Europe
and it is thought he will become the

President Wilson is willing to con-

there can be an equal distribution OF
food made. In this regard Secretary
of State Lansing, has given out the
following:
cat a Joint session of the two houses
of congress on November IL, the presi-
dent of the United States announced
that representatives of the associated
governments at the supreme war coun-
Gil at Versailles have by unanimous
resolution assured the people of the

is possible under the circumstances
will be done to supply them with food

taken Immediately to organize these
efforts in the same systematic man.
ner that they were organized in the
case of Belgium.
Furthermore, the president ex-
pressed the opinion that by use of
idle tonnage of the central empire,
it ought presently to be possible to
lift the fear of utter misery from
their oppressed population and there
by free them for the great and haz-
ardous mass of political construction,
which now faces them on every hand.
Accordingly, the president now
directs me to state that he is ready
to consider steps for the supplying of
food stuffs to Germany and to take
up the matter with the allied govern
ment, providing he can be assured
that public order is being maintained
IN Germany and that an equitable
distribution of food can be clearly
guaranteed"
