Progam Subject to Modification
This is the program agreed upon by
the Socialist caucus after "a long dis
cussion. Several Deputies say this
moderate program, as they term it,
may be modified if their opponents
offer an atfront. Just what might be
regarded by the Socialists as an atfront
has not been made clear, and there is
much speculation relative to whether

Neighbors Are Hostile

LONDON, Nov. 3O.-Sir William
''oode, British Director of Relief in
Europe who has just returned from
several months spent in Central and
Eastern Europe. informed The Tribune
'o-day that the countries of the Old
World are helpless before the accumu-
lated misery left by the war.
"Unlcss America comes to the res
cue, it is terrible to think what will
happen,' he said. "Thc greatest and
most crying need is credits with which
to buy food and raw materials. Two
billion pounds sterling, half of which
would go to Germany, may be accepted
as a rellabic estimate of the credits re-
qulred. Europe cannot supply these
credits, so the heavy burden of tighten
ing the suffering Of millions of human
beings falls upon America.
The place of greatest need in Cen
trail Europe is Austria. The newspaper
accounts Of the misery in Austria are
quite true. and the fact is that con-
ditions there are worse than rney are
represented. Austria is now at the end
Of the English French Italian loan Of
$4,000 600.
Children Lack Milk
I'm Vienna the supply of food is
below the normal living Standards
and even the children, with the
exception of a comparative few who
can be given a little food by charity,
are totally without milk. American re-
lief organizations are doing excellent
work, feeding from 100000 to 200 900
children daily. visited several Ameri-
can kitchens, one of which was in the
late arch1uke's palace. There the
Americans provide 300 meals daily.
This is one of Mr.. Hoover's legacies to
Europe, for which Europe is very
thankful.
THE British Relief Mission is en-
deavoring to help Austria make food
contracts with the surrounding coun-
New-York tribune., 1919-12-01

tries. but at present the chaotic rela-
llohs or all the new countries of the
Danube River basin are so strained that
many difficulties must be surmounted
When food is actually obtained it is al
most impossible to transport it to the
districts where needed. A heavy snow
Is also making 1T extremely difficult to
get trains over the mountains. The
lack OF fuel and cars works in vicious
circle to increase the chaos All sorts
Of missions and commissions are work
ing to remedy the railway situation.
but 1t will be a long time before any
thing like order will be established.
The result Of all this is that the
people of Vienna are literally being
frozen into their graves. All the fuel
is quite rightly being concentrated to
keep the food and coal cars moving,
but that leaves little or no coal for the
rich and none at all for the poor. so
Vienna is mighty cold place.
\eighbors Still Hostile
Austria possesses no money and no
credits and no raw material to give in
exchange. The tragedy of the situa-
ton is that the surrounding countries
also are crying out for raw materials;
they prefer to sell what they possess
anywhere except in Austria, although
pressure may induce them to sell
there The British are refusing to buy
in Jugo Slavia. where surplus exists
in wheat and fgs, and in Czccho-Slo
vakla, where there is an extra supply
of sugar.
AS for Hungary, she is bled white
By the Rumanians. Firstly, like an
army of locusts feeding on the land,
100000 strong, it is calculated that
Rumania has lifted from Hungary be-
tween 10000 and 100000 tons of food
stuffs: secondly, distribution and
transportation are bad and Rumania is
using her railways for her army. There
are difficulties even in the districts
where the supplies are more plenti-
full.
"Thc Czecho-S Slovak government of
flcials informed me that they had
nothing like enough cereals to last
them through the year. They say they
want 100000 tons of breadstutfs and
cannot get their industries going be-
cause there. is no money to buy wool
and other Jaw materials. And Europe
hasn soc the money TO lend TO them
Poland is IN almost exactly the same
position, for that country, it is esti-
mated, is 100000 tons short in ma
terIals. And it is the same problem
therc, Tor they say there Is no money
or credits with which to buy
All Short on Coal
All of these countries are short of
coal, although not as acutely so as
Austria. Hungary, however, also is
excessively short It is the same
everywhere; if the railways are sup
piled with coal the industries are
starved, and there is no coal for do
mestlc consumption to the extent of
endangering the national life Take
the case of Jugo- Slavia, where there is
a surplus of food. They are without
credits, raw materials, and the diff
culties in exchanging food supplies for
money are almost insupe rable because
of the lack of trans portation facili-
ties.
"Overhanging all of these physical
conditions is the delay in making peace,
foc we are still in state of war with
Austria. and wherever you 60 there
are miles OF soldiers along the from
tiers and guarding railway stations.

the old law had lapsed and there could
not be many disputes about property

a wireless dispatch received from
berlln says recently circulated re-
port of alleged negotiations between
Germany and Soviet Russia regarding
an exchange of prisoners and a recipro-
cal restoration of seized property is
authoritatively stated to be an absolute
invention.
The dispatch adds the only negotia
tons gong on between Germany and
the Bolsheviki relate to return of Ger
man hostages taken by the Soviet in
rerrisal for the arrest of Karl Radck,
a Russian. who was one Of the leaders
IN the Spartncide uprising in Germany.
Radck, who was a member of the
Russian commi ssion which negotiated
the peace of Brest-Litovsk between
Russia and Germany. later visited Ber-
lin to agitate the cause of Bolshevism
and became one of the leaders Of tn >
Spartaoide movement in the German
capital. He was arrested last Feb
ruary on charge of having instiga ed
radical outbreaks in German terri. .ory
and was reported to have been released
IN August. At the time it was said
Germany had given him permission to
return to Russia.
COPENHAGEN, Nov 3O.-Maxim Lit
vinof, representative of the Russian
Bolshevik government in conferences
here concerning an exchange of pris-
oners admitted to-day he had been APP
preached by Denmark and other neu-
trail countries with regard to their ma
tionals in Siberia. He said their return
home would depend upon the result Of
the negotiations for an exchange of
prisoners with Great Britain. He de-
MED he was negotiating with Germany
on any such subject
LitvinoH added the Soviet govern
ment was prepared to liberate all Brit
ish prisoners and to permit British
nationals to leave Russia, provided
Russia's nationals in foreign coun-
tries, cut off by the blockade, were per
mitted freely to communicate with
Russia and the Russian government
permitted to attend to the interests Of
these nationals.

the purpose of demolishlng it," Deputy
Modlglian and other Socialists also
nave been somewhat extreme in their
expressions. The more temperate dcpu-
ties. however. apparently dominated the
caucuscs and framed the party pro-

The Italian public is especially in
