London, Nov. IA note OF deep
anxiety lest the SITUATION in Germany
degenerate into Bolshevism, is struck
by ali the editorials in the London
newspapers today. The continued
absence of Information that woulu
tend to throw further light on the
fragmentary e-gided knowledge of
the actual social and administra
situation in Germany, prevents the
formation OF absolutely conclusive
views here.
No Food, No Pay.
President Wilson'S timely coun-
SELF is hailed with unanimous edi-
forial approval. and his warning that
hunger leads to madness is quoted as
touching a vital chord. It iB admit
ted by newspapers of all shades OF
political opinion that Germany must
be fed, IL only as a business proposi-
ton, inasmuall as If she starved to
death she could not ray what she
owes.
