work. To this council will fall the
task of supplying Europe with food
ana to no small extent with raw mate
rials during the reconstruction period.
For the present its energies almost en-
tirely are directed 10 feeding the peo-
pie in the liberated countries and If
necessary the enemy.
The conclusion already h2s been
reached that II used with due economy
the worlds food stocks are sufficient 70
give Germany y limited supply at any
time before the next harvest without
prejudice to more deserving claimants
An estimate OF the credits needed for
countries other than Germany has been
made and referred 10 the associated
Governments.
Considerable time was spent a. the
sessions to-day and yesterday in scru-
tiny of the relative needs of the various
parts of Europe and the devising of
means for cXpeditins supplies OF pro-
visions 10 the parts most pressed. The
question OF German tonnage also has
been taken NJ. II has heen decided that
German ships are indispensable for VIC
tualling Europe and the armistice COM
mittee has been or will be asked what
IL can do In the matter.
There need he no surprise Il before

Revealed in Germany

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.--Of-

that the Spartacus group had sent
a telegram to Moscow stating
that fighting must be stopped AS
soon as possible because the Ber-
