PRUSSIANS CAN'T FEED
THEIR OWN PEOPLE

Berlin, Thursday, May 15.-(By the
Associated Press)-Count Won Brock
dorff -RantZau, head of the German
peace commission at Versailles, hand
ed to Nj. Clemenceau, president of the
peace conference yesterday, three
notes, one of which deals with the
economic aspect of the peace terms
and the effect they will have on Ger
many. 1t is pointed out in this note
that Germany is no longer an agra
rian state and cannot feed more than
100000 people.
The economic terms of the peace
treaty with their restrictions of trade
ard other factors which are involved
means, the note says, that many mil
lions of people in Germany will per-
ish, all the more quickly as the ma
tons health is already broken by the
blockade.
The note points out that Germany
in two generations has passed from
an agrarian to an industrial state.
AS an agrarian state it could feed
&C, 100000 persons and as an indus
trial country it was able to provide
1OOu LUZ OOyOOU,OOVy the HOL6 QeCldTSS.
Before the war Al, 100000 Germans
were dependent for their living on
foreign trade, shipping and other
pursuits. The note continues to detail
how the war caused economic paraly-
sis, destroyed German industry and
made it impossible to provide work
and food for millions of the people,
who would be obliged to immigrate or
perish.
No relief work, however large its
scale, or however long in duration,
could prevent wholesale loss of life,
the note said. Peace terms, the dis
patch continues, would demand of
Germany several times as many vic
tins as did the war. There have been
nearly a million victims of the block
ade.
Count Won Brockdorf -Rantzau con-
tinues by saying it is his duty, before
presenting further details, to bring
these general remarks to the knowl-
edge of the allied and associated del
egates and promises to furnish sta
tistical evidence, if it is required.

treaty, it developed today. contains a
clause not yet made public providing
for ratification by Germany and three
of the principal associated powers will
bring the treaty into force between
the ratifying parties, enabling an i'm
mediate resumption of trade.

representatives of the powers, the
text of the German treaty probably
will be made public by installments.
1t is reported the financial and boun-
daries sections of the document will
be released tonight.

Bulgarian peace treaties win be ne
gotiated in Constantinople, Saloniki
or some other convenient city in the
