by Robert J. Bender.

WASHINGTON. Nov 13.-President
Wilson is ready TO consider favor
ably" the supply Of foodstuffs to Ger
many If he can be assured order is
and will continue to be maintained
there This reply is being sent Ger
many in answer to her appeal orfood.
The only other condition was that
there be q guarantee or equitable dis
tgibution.
The German appeal delivered yester-
day TO the Swiss minister said:
The German government urgently
requests the president Of the United
states to inform German Chancellor
Ebert by wireless whether he may
be assured that the government of the
United states is ready TO send food
stuns without DELAY If order is TO be
maintained ia Germany and an equit-
able distribution Is guaranteed"
The main portion Of the answer as
given by this country through Secre-
tary Lansing said
AT . joint session of the two hous-
es of congress on November Il the
president of the United states announc-
ed that the representatives of tho
associated governments in the supreme
war council at Versailles have by unan-
inous resolution assured the peoples Of
the Central Empires that everything
that is POSSIBLE viii be done to supply
them with food and relieve the dis
tressing want that is in so many places
threatening their very lives; and thai
steps are to be taken Immediately to
organize these efforts at relief in the
same systematic manner that they
were organized in the case Of Belgium.
Furthermore the president expressed
the opinion that by the use of idle
tonnage Of the Central Empires II
ought presently to be possible to lift
the fear of utter misery from their
oppressed population and set their
minds and energies free for the great
and hazardous tasks of political con-
struction which now face them on ev-

Now that the war is over the
business men of the Calumet reg
ION must turn their attention to the
problems of readjustment. Re-
construction is not the word. ONLY
the devastated sections of Europe
viii have those problems to face.
OUR OWN PROBLEMS.
But our problems of readiust-
ment will be great enough to en-
gage our serious attention for at
least two years to come. Industrial
re-adlustment will not be complete
until our army has been complete
ly demobilized and the men have
become re-engaged in productive
effort.
our immediate problem is that: To
what extent will the region suffer from,
this period of readjustment? TO de-
termine that we must anaIyze our pres
sent industrial activity.
The four principal industrial activt-
ties OF the Calumet region, in the order
of their Importance. are:
l. The production of steel.
= The building of railway eauip,nen,
g. The refining of oil.
T. The manufacture OF chemicals.
While it cannot be classed as an in
dustry. the operation of railway tcrnin-
ais results in the employment Of large
numbers of men.
Since the beginning of the war the
prodAction of guns and munitions has
been engaged in by number of indus-
tries in Hammond and East Chicago
The first result OF the termination of
the war then will be the cancella tion or
such contracts
NO REACTION EXPECTED.
But this will not cause the reaction
IN the local industries that might be
expected for the following reasons:
l. It is the opinion in well informed
circles that where materials have been
purchased and contracts arc vel along
towards completion that such contracts
will not be cancelled.
2 Only small part of our indus
trial activity is classed as munitions
production. In the east, where whole
communities have been given over to the
manufacture of war supplies the reac-
