CAN'T AGREE WITH HUNS
ON SHIPPING QUESTION

London, March 7-Bulletin-Nego-
tiations at Spa relating to the ship
ping question were temporarily brok-
en- off, according to a German wire
less received here today. The allies,
the message says, demanded all re-
naming German merchant ships be
banded over Internationally, without
being willing to undertake an obliga-
tion to supply Germany with food
stuffs. The German delegates, it add
ed, received instructions from their
government that the question of ship
ping, finance, and food supply must
be dealt with as a whole. The Ger
man message continues that the ques-
tion of handing over the mercantile
feet can only arise if adequate food
supplies, say two and half million
tone, are assured Germany until the
next harvest. The entente would not
agree. AS the instruction to both sides
did not go beyond this, the French
delegates proposed negotiations be
broken off, whereupon the two special
delegations left Spa.

showing. Very truly yours,
