BY the Associated Press.l
Berlin. March 13.-Germany expects
that the allies will provide food sup
plies Antil Aug. ), which Is the earliest
possible date that -four from this year, s
harvest can be counted upon, said
Under Secretary Of State Won Braun
today, before leaving for Brussels
where he will take part in negotia-
tions with an allied commission rela-
tive to food shipments and the turn
ing over of German shipping for the
use of the entente nations.
During the war there has been a
system OF paying premiums for early
threshing. but this. according to Herr
Won Braun, results in much grain be-
ing cut before it Is ripe and being
threshed in damp condition. In his
opinion the sststem throws the normal
corrge of agriculture "ont OF gear be-
cause other harvest operations are in
terrupted to rush grain to the thresh-
ers. For this reason. he said. the allies
should agree to continue to send food
supplies until September.
Not Modest in Regussts.
Herr Won Braun said Germany
would ask for 100000 tons Of grain
and monthly importation of 100000
tons of pork and fats, in addition to
condensed milk, rice. oatmeal and
other commodities, required particular
ly for invalids. infants and hospitals.
He estimated the cost OF these ship
ments at 5.OoO,oo0.o0O marks.
1t is matter Of great Importance,
he said, that food should arrive at the
earliest possible moment and that the
total amount to be provided be known,
so that the government could adjust
rations until the next harvest.
only under these conditions Is 1t
possible 10 combat bolshevlsm and
