the world, said Secretary Of state
Lansing at a banquet given tonight
by the interallcd press club in honor Of
the American peace commissioners.
lie was emphatic in his statement
that the allies must feed Germany and
give the Germans opportunity to sell
their products in the foreign markets
if the danger Of Bolshevism was TO be
avoided. He painted vivid picture Of
conditions in the war zone OF France
and pointed out that it was not out of
pity TO Germany hut to tho allies own
advantage to see that anarchy was
prevented in the former German em-
pirc.
lie said in part: East Of the
Rhine there are famine and idlcness,
want aud misery. Political chaos and
outlawry have supplanted the highly
organized government of imperial Ger
many. Social order is breaking down
under difficulties of defeat and hope
lcssncss of the future Like the anar-
chv which for years made an inferno
of Russia the fires of terosm are
ablazc in the state Of Germany. The
flames are sweeping westward
:. 1t is no time to allow settlements
Of vengeance, of hatred, to stand in
the way of checking this eonflagra-
ton. We must change the conditions
ON which social unrest feeds and try
tc restore Germany to normal, though
it be a weakened, social order. Two
words tell the story, Food and peace ;.
say to you, men Of France and
men Of America and TO you allied
powers that there is no time to be lost
il we are 60 save the world from tho
despotism of anarchy even rs we have
saved it from the despotism of au
tocracy We ought to make, we must
make, peace without delay and ship;
with food must enter the harbors OF

1t is feared there will shortly be
outbreaks and massacres of the Ar

The situation at Smyrna where the
Turkes and Greeks are ready to
spring at each other, is typical of the
