ed the conviction that there woulo PC
enough for all il prcprly distributed and
that therefore there was no real reason
for famine in any part of Europe.
General Bliss said the fsar OF re-
vival OF German militarism had been
greatly cxaggcraicd: that no reports
which had reached him indicated the re-
turn Of junkcr domination and moreover
under the terms Of tn" peace treaty. the
German army and munition facilities

Discussing the operations of the war

opinion that the successful outcome or
the war was directly attributable to tho
adoption Of a unified command. II this
had been in 1914. h6Neaid. the war would
have been materially shortened. the Rus
