Gen. Bliss said, but the [0l9 recently established nations are ill fer from stable as a result or soaornic ills, described as utterly necessary. France, Great Britain 5d Italy should lend their whole tspport to the coalition idea if only 5r the good which will devolve to hamselves, he declared. .- s Gen. Bliss suggested that such a han, as Herbert Hoover should be aaned director general of supplies for |JtIrope and that there should be ap- &afnted with this official another to be |iroctor general of transportation hto the common pool, under the plan sotli be. placed not only all stores oi &efeaIs and grains, but coal, petrol |pil k1cta!s and railroad equipment. %efThera is food in plenty right up tC 1 hc states or, Budapest and Vienna &rG starvation within both cities, |a8%s lsltss declared.

M "If that government failS,' he said |'thero eau arise only one Of two eN reules--e either 3n absolute req ctiOnarS koy ernment or what4wou!d amount tt kulo by Soviet" He had seen no off eial reports which indicated a reviva |of the iunl1er domination of German, hor which bore out the fears expressed ebroad that Germany would again be |come a monaco to world peace. . Europe as a whole is so tired o |war," he said that incidents whicl ordinarily might lead to hostilities vii be long overlooked On the other hand, Gen. Bliss said |tfere had as yet been no decline 1T |rnilitarism in Eur.pe since the wa las far as any effect on combatan forces go Every nation is owe |armed, he said, largely because of th' unstable situations of their govern nlents and the fear of Bolshevism If the latter was removed and thu general distribution of supplies un |dertaken, Gen. Bliss though that thu |''commone sense of the people" il each case would soon force a mater ial reduction in military establish mcnts.
 Of Bolshevism in the abstract, Gen Bliss had not criticism to make. l is a "principle," he said, which il right or wrong, twill have to b faced; but Bolshevism as eNemplifis by the present regime in Russia, h declared, placed that country at Wa with the whole world, which neces sarily must fight back.
 The policy. of spending millions i the effort to make the rest of tn world "the prey to Russia" is tn special feature of the Lenlne-TrotZk rule, which brings those leaders int conflict with other nations, Ger Bliss sa!d as their effort to under mine the institutions in the other ma tions. t..
 .Personally," Gen. Bliss added, q believe that if it were possible to dis tribute the supplies in Russia so as t put clothes on the backs of the pee ple. to fill their bellies and warm the homes, Bolshevism would disappea in a month"
 Reviewing the developm ments whlc led finally to the organization of tf supreme war council with Gen. Foe au eneralissimo, Gen.
