FOOD ADMINISTRATION
MAY BE ALLIED BUREAU
Purpose Is to Control International
Food Supply and Dis
tribution in Peace.

The United States food administra-
ton, which ceases to exist as gov
ernment agency upon the signing of
peace, is to be made an allied food
bureau to control the international
food supply and distribution, it is
intimated by officials here.
Administrator Hoover has stated
that there is much necessary work
ahead for food administration of
some kind. and he has stated in a posi-
tive manner that the administration
ment of Agriculture. However. he has
not specifically declared that the ad-
ministration would be turned into an
international bureau, but the employees
of the administration, who have natu-
rally been wondering as to their fu-
ture. have been told not to worry.
1t is understood that efficient en-
ployes and officials who wish to re-
main in the administration bureau to
be created have been practically as
sured that they will be retained. AS
q matter Of fact. it is the belief of
some that the new plan will call for
an even larger force than has been
operating under Administrator Hoov-
er's wartime bureau.
Definite plans regarding this change
are not expected to be made public
for several weeks.

Objects to Partitioning.

at may be submitted that the allies
have conquered Macedonia. But is it
might or right that will decide the
question? As our neighbors will re-
ceive large compensations elsewhere,
there is no reason why Bulgaria
should be partitioned now, as she was
partitioned in 1873 at the congress of
Berlin, and thereby the industrious,
thrifty, sober Bulgarian people will
become members of a peaceful and
prosperous country"
NJ. Guechoff expressed the hope that
the present minister of foreign affairs
would meet President Wilson in Eu-
rope and explain to him the real sit
uation in Bulgaria, which. he was of
the opinion, was not known in Amer
ica.
Only by the help of President Will
son, added the former minister, could
Bulgaria hope in the future to arise
u great nation.

Text of Eleventh Point.

(The eleventh point in President
Wilson'S program declared that Ru-
mania, Serbia and Montenegro should
be evacuated occupied territories re-
stored and the relations of the several
Balkan states to one another deter
mined by friendly counsel along his
torically established lines Of allegi-
ance and nationality; and interna-
tional guarantees of the political and
economic independence and territorial
integrity of the several Balkan states
should be entered into.)
Further, believing fully that Pres
ldent Wilson would insist on carrying
out his program, we came to the CON
clusion that to continue fighting would
be useless and refused last September
to fight against the allies, and thereby
brought about the Bulgarian armis-
tice. which shortened the war
The lines of nationality have been
Historically established not only by
International acts like the decision Of
the Constantinople conference in 1876
by the European powers, but also by
American missionary opinion. If these
decisions and American missionary
opinion are accepted as guides in the
determination of the boundaries of
the Balkan states Bulgaria will be
content and will be ready to enter a
Balkan confederation

BULGARIA AWAITS
BALKAN SOLUTION
Minister May Meet President
Wilson Abroad to Ex-
plain Affairs.

GENEVA, Switzerland. November
10 (By the Associated Press).-The
future Of Bulgaria will depend mainly
upon the solution which will shortly
be given to the Balkan problem" said
M. Guechof, the former premier of
Bulgaria, in an interview with the
Associated Press today. I'VE, as the
Bulgarian opposition. in 1915 did our
best to prevent King Ferdinand from
joining with Germany. However, we
did not succeed, because the allies
took too long in landing forces at Sa-
loniki in order to impress the Bull
garians.
When we gave extensive publicity
to- President Wilson's program in Jan
uary, 1918. our people, who before and
during the war were with the opposi-
tion, saw that article IL contained the
basis on which just and lasting set
tlement of our questions could be Sc
cured"
