PARIS, Jan 4.-Herbert c. Hoover,
who has been appointed director of al
lied food relief in newly liberated neu-
tral and enemy territories in Europe,
said yesterday that German ships total
ing nearly 3,0010o0 tons would be used
to carry food to Europe and that German
passenger boats would be utilized to send
American soldiers home
Food worth sl,50o,Ooo,oo0 must be
imported into Europe to provide for
their actual needs between now and July
and the financing of the project is u
stupendous task" he said Liberated ter.
ritory will be fed first, bat much OF this
territory has no other government than
that of scattered municipalities. 1t has
no credit and is unable to pay for food
Poland, Armenia, Czechosiovakia and the
JugosIav republics are in this condition
as well as many other suffering sections
Most of the necessary food must come
from the United States and representa-
tives of that government are comforting
with those of the allied powers as TO the
means for paying for this food"
