Paris, Jan. 9.-In the opinion Of the
American peace delegation, the most
serious problem confronting the Allied
nations concerns the Bolshevist men.
ace, which is spreading a%larmingly.
The delegates believe that unless some.
thing is done quickly to relieve con.
ditions in central Europe, particularly
in Germany. the making Of peace will
be greatly retarded.
The Americans have laid their
view before the representatives Of
the Allied Governments. putting EN-.
phasis upon the urgent necessity Of
taking action to prevent the present
German authority from going to
pieces. The maintenance of the Der.
lin Government can best be effected,
the Americans think, by sending food
into Germany to relieve distress there.
As the most important step in hat di.
rection. they have suggested that the
blockade be modified and some free.
dom be granted Germany g. import
food and other supplies.
1t is held to be certain that the
American Government will oppose
sending troops into Russia 70 curb
Bolshevism there. and it is believed
that the British Government is equally
unwilling to do so. and the same eau.
tiousness applies to Berlin and other
centers in Germany. where, according
to the American view. order can be
restored more quickly by relieving
economic embarrassments than by
armed intervention.
Great Britain and Italy share the
American concern to some extent. al
least, and show a sympathetic dispose
ton toward the relief measures which
are about TO be undertaken by the in.
ternational commission headed by
Hoover.
Should Modify Blockade
But the American Representatives
hold that, in addition to the Allied dis
tribution of food in Germany, the
blockade conditions should be modi
fed, thus permitting the German Gov
eminent to purchase the large avail
able supplies Of foodstuffs accumulated
in America and elsewhere.
The latest news from Germany in
dicates that the Government is grow
ing weaker and less able to handle the
difficult situation, which is likely tc
develop into ultra-radical control, witt
the added danger OF Bolshevist sent
ment spreading westward and south.
ward.
There are signs that France is no
inclined to sympathize with the Amer
lean desire to lift the blockade. bu'
the matter is now being discussed II
the inter-Allied conferences, in which
the Americans. backed by the full sup
port of Wilson, are urging actor
without delay.
THE seriousness of this situation
cannot be impressed too strongly or
our people at home" one Of the fore
most American official representative.
