is that there Is a sufficient world sup
ply of food available to meet their needs
and that all possible steps are being
taken to ascertain and meet them and
solve the attendant financial ana

Failure Means European Ruin
All the countries which have set up
democratic governments are struggling
to maintain order and to establish
themselves permanently. ANY failure on
the part Of the United States to support
these issues, the members OF the Con-
mission are said to believe, will bring
ruin in Europe beyond anything since
the Middle Ages.
It is understood that the American
War Department is cooperating with
the food administration in sending food
stuffs into various Mediterranean ports.
but the distribution of these supplies is
necessarily being held up until financial
matters can be arranged. The money
asked from Congress, it is declared. Is
solely for the purpose Of supporting the
liberated countries and will not be used
for relief in Germany.
The conference Tuesday of, the mem

ton for these problems.

Questioned as to the Allies as n whole

said that every one favored league OF
some sort and that they were not

still were many purely legal disputes
between nations which he thought ought
TO be settled by an arbitration tribunal

the plan TO force obedience to DEGREES by
