some 75,0oo.oo0 people in these groups.
and they must be systematically
helped at once. The supply to Bel
GUM already has been doubled in
Many people in America are wonder
ing regarding the food supplies in
the enemy countries, especially in
Germany. Before leaving this coun-
try for Europe. few weeks ago, Ad-
ministrator Hoover said regarding
this: Rf . =.
Situation In ftEnemy" Countries.
There is asgreat problem in the
situation Of the enemy peoples-above
80, ,ooo,ooo. This problem is not one
of going to their relief. It is a prob
lem of relaxing the watertight
blockade, which continues through
the armistice, sufficiently SO that they
may secure for themselves the bare
necessities that will give stable gov
ernment.
"Unless anarchy can be put down
and stability of government can be
obtained in these enemy states, there
will be nobody to make peace with
and nobody to pay the bill to france
and Belgium for the fearful destruc-
tion that has been done. I would GER
tainly approach this problem with
mixed feelings, having been long a
witness to the robbery of food from
women and children and the destruc-
ton of millions of tons of food at sea
and to the misery under which the
millions among the big and little al
lies have suffered under the German
yoke.
Justice requires that government
be established able to make amends
for wrongs done, and it cannot be ac-
complished through spread of an
archy. Famine is the mother of an
archy."
Other Countries to Help.
Besides tho supplies from this coun-
try there will be large shipments Of
grains and beef from Australia and
Argentina. The Java sugar crop is
will be of material help. There viii
be heavy grain shipments from India
and some little beef shipments from
New Zealand. However, this aid will
depend entirely upon the transporta-
tion facilities afforded.
1t is. therefore. because of the grave
situation in Europe and the respon-
sible position of the United States
that the food administration will urge
the American people to conserve in
every way possible. The conservation
in this country in the past year was
more or less one of substitution. The
coming winter will witness a food
conservation that is real and actual.

To such an extent is this true that
Germany will have to get on her

Our government has immense and val

doubt remain there on Frances terms.
The government was ready for the

Indefinitely, hence the readjustment may

nearly 100000 yards Of melton and
9,00O,OO0 yards of flannel for shirts.
These goods would be largely avail
able for immediate needs if the gov

Great Britain Asks No Favors.

Great Britain will ask no favors.
She apd her colonies have lost heavily
in men and money. but they are all
strong and will not be subjects of
charity or pity. If Great Britain de-
sires to borrow, her credit is good and
her collateral available always.
Elsewhere the rehabilitation of the
world will be serious proposition.
Germany. the cause of all the trouble,
admittedly. has not suffered save in
loss of man power and wealth.
She has dropped from her high
position. but every smokestack is still
standing: her productive capacity has
been helped by the machinery stolen
from ruined countries, by ore stolen
from France. by gold taken from
Russia and other countries, by valuab bles
from Rumania, from Serbia and from
Belgium.
Germany will have to be- watched
closely, and she. of all nations, must
give security for credit advanced.
She must not be allowed to profit by
thievery and war-her heretofore fa-
yorite occupation and most profitable
industry.

TIME food problem in Europe to-
day is one of extreme COM
plexity. In fact, in many
countries the people are fac
ing starvation, and officials of the
United States Food Administration
say it is easy to prophesy that lack OF
food will result in more than 10000
900 deaths between now and next
summer.
The food administration says the
task Of relieving these conditions is
tremendous, and Athe. American people
are being asked to aid in the admin
istration's conservation program.
Few people in this country havs thu
slightest idea Of the grave situattou
abroad. There are only about. three
areas in Europe which have sufficient
food supplies to last until next har-
vest without imports. These areas are
south Russia, Hungary and Denmark.
The worst conditions exist in Serbia,
Austria, Bohemia, Poland, north Rus
sia, Finland and Armenia Famine
Map Shows Famine Area.
In the accompanying map prepared
by the administration this famine
area is shown. It can readily be seen
that this food condition is due to the
inability of America and the allies to
ship food into the areas during active
hostilities. Probably the gravest sit
uation is in Armenia and; in north
Russia.
North Russia is more unfortunate
because of its location. The condi-
tions will be little improved this win
ter. Because of the lack of transpor-
tation facilities it will be utterly i'm
possible to get supplies into this area
sufficient to meet the adequate needs
of the 50,000,000 inhabitants.
Conditions have been bad in Bel
gium, but nothing to compare with
what the peoples of Poland and Ser
bia have had to endure. More than
one-half the population Of Serbia has
died from starvation, and in Poland
rs per cent of the population has met
a similar fate.

Ready to Remove Scars.
More Credit on Different Terms.

Credit must be extended to the diff
ferent nations that are already
knocking on our doors, but on entirely
different terms.
Belgium. the wronged and ruined,
must be the ward of the United States
and other nations until she is able to
stand alone again-a, nation of chill
dren and women. with factories
despoiled, with large plants stolen
outright by Germany with heavy
fines exacted and collected for four long
years. with men and women deported.
But Germany will pay Belgium's bill
as far as money will do it. and she
should be made to return every wheel,
every bit of machinery.
France is our old friend; the stay
at-home. thrift nation of the world.
When she has given Germany re-
ceipted bill and had a few years to
recuperate, France will rise again,
her northern cities rebuilt, her credit
unquestioned, but until that time
comes France must be treated with
open hand.
Italy has suffered. but not to the ex-
tent of France and Belgium; produc-
tive Italy has not been ruined. Italy
can and will be given much aid, but
she will probably be in a position to
give security for a large part of the
credits given her.

EFORE the world war the
United States was a debit ma

tion of nations
~ The value Of our exports
before the war, for many
years. exceeded the value of our i'm
ports, yet we were a debtor nation by
reason of the vast amount of foreign
capital invested in our railroads, our
great factories. and in a thousand and
one American fields of endeavor.
A. Mitchell Palmer. custodian of alien
enemy property. has demonstrated to
the surprise of many the enormous in
vestments Of German and Austrian
money in the United States. But Great
Britain has always been much larger
investor in American securities and ven
lures than has Germany, while other
frugal nations have found prosperous
America a fruitful place for planting
money for the yield thereon.
Loans Send Securities Back.
The initial years of the great war
found our creditor nations engaged in
titanic struggle and their resources
called upon to the limit to finance the
war. with the result that they imme-
diatelE commenced floating loans here
and shipping our securities back to the
United States, where they found, after
year of war. a splendid market. Even
Germany with the freedom Of the seas
denied her found opportunity to market
many securities, but was unable to real
ize on millions and millions of her in
vestments and resources in this country,
which later were seized, in large part,
by the alien enemy property custodian.
AS the United States entered the
war and even before, large loans were
made to the nations Of the entente,
aggregating at the present time
nearly $4,000, ,OOO,O 600.
Ready to Remove Scars.
The great war Is almost a matter
OF history.
The United States of all the nations
engaged in the struggle has the
fewest scars. Its mills, forests. fields,
farms. factories; its live stock, grain
elevators; it's f1ocks, it's herds and its
railroads are ready for the work of
rehabilitation of the old world. in
which the United States must take a
prominent part. And it must be done
largely on credit. We must find out
what the nations of the old world
must have, what they have to ex-
change therefor. when and how they
can make settlement. and then plan to
do the work on the best terms pos
sible.
