 GERMANY NEEDS 1. F0ODSTUFFS, SAYS MINISTER PIGEON Allies Are Willing to Supply Food and Also Accord
 Credit to German
 Government
Rx A,,o,I,tss Press

Paris March p.-Sfephen Ptchon,
 the French foreign minister, in his
 talk with the correspondents today.
 discussed the bearing of the food
 situation in Germany on the speedy
 conclusion of peace. He said that
 the urgent need of supplying Ger
 many was recognized by all the
 Eovernments represented at Paris.
 The hunger with wkteh Germany
 was confronted. he added, was
 had counselor.
 No one could be dead to the inhumani- tg of continuing present conditions there and the supreme council had resolved 10 send to Germany all the food that coun- try required On the other hand, how ever, this could not be done if the Ger mans ceased working and did nothing to make, certain that the expense caused to the entente countries by the destruc- ton and damage of the war should be met ea, a'
 In signing the armistice last January. Germany agreed to hand over her com mereiaI fleet, to be used in revictualing Europe generally. and Germany particu- larly. Yet continued the minister, at recent meeting at Spa, the German dele gates declared that the arrangement. was unsatisfactory and that they would "abso- lutely refuse to part with their ships
 ALLIES ARE WILLING
 The allies were willing, Nj. Pichon went on. not only to supply food, but to ac- cord credit to Germnay. But Germany must first declare her willingness to live up to the conditions of the January armistice. t 1-r
 The foreign minister defended the peace conference against the charges that it's work had been slow saying:
 .'It may have seemed slow at first, but there has been much progress during the last few days. It should be borne in mind that the instructions to the commissions to report on March 8, did not apply to important commissions which have been accredited since February 15. and which have boon granted another weeks time" ie As soon as the terms of tho German peace have been concluded. M. Pichon said. tho council would take up tho Aus trian peace which would involve the fu- ture boundaries between Italy and former Austro- Hungarian territory. The subject had already been discussed. but had not yet come before the council.
 The council has adopted Premier Lloyd Georges plan for regulating tho future military strength of Germany. according to the Ininistery. who confirmed the fact that this involves the abandonment of conscrption in favor of small profess sional army a':,,.'

 go to say to the m members of the com
 mercial club that his 3e years exper-
 fence in the railroad business have
 forced him to the conviction that gov
 ernment ownership. management and
 operation of the American railroa,ss.
 are not for the best interest of the
 nation. Instead, private ownership with wide, energetic, honest manage ment and operation under reasonab. .s and protective regulation will produce the best results for the country. This regulation should be so established and directed as to preserve and encourage the initiative of the American citizen sfye to change of conditions. It ought also to provide checks that will pre- vent any unfair practice by owners and managers, and furthermore it should make impossible oppressive, un-
 reasonable and conflicting action by regulatory bodies, such as the states | have sometime established; so that ,in case of disagreement between the stat 2 and the nation the national authority
 would prevail. MT.
