Special Despatch 10 TIE suS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Government
expenditures in December were more
than s2,ooo.OoO.Ooo, the largest ever
recorded. They show that the Gov
ernment is still spending at the rate
or s24ooo.ooo,ooo a year, estimated
Tor the fiscal year with the prospect
or the war continuing.
This situation is due largely TO pay
ments made on war orders OF goods
completed and delivered. 1t is ex-
pected that January will be the first
month to show a decline, but Treasury
officials believe 1t will be slight.
The Treasury figures indicate the
necessity Of another big loan to take
care OF war expenditures that It has
been impossible to shut off. An in
crease in the interest rate on this
loan, which probably will be the las,
long time loan of the war, is regarded
as possibie because of the difficulty

Your MAJESTY AND Mr.. PRESIDENT
OF THE CHAMBER:
You are bestowing upon me an
unprecedented honor, which / ac-
cept because / believe that it is
extended to me as the representa-
tive of the great people for whom
! speak. And | am going to take
this first opportunity to say how
entirely the heart OF the American
people has been with the great
people of Italy.
We have seemed no doubt indlf-
fercnt at times to look from a great
distance, but our hearts have never
been far away. All sorts OF ties
have long bound the people of our
America to the people of italy. and
when the people of the United
States, knowing this people have
witnessed it's sufferings, its sacri-
fees, its heroic actions upon the
battlefield and its heroic endurance
at home-its stcadfast endurance at
home touching us more nearly to
the quick even than its heroic action
on the battlefield-we have been
bound by a new tie Of profound ad-
miration.
Led by Same Principle.
Then back of 1t all, and through
it all, running like the golden thread
that wove it together. was our
knowledge that the people OF Italy
had gone into this war for the
same exalted principle Of right and
justice that moved our own people
And SO | welcome this opportunity
OF conveying to you the heartfelt
greetings of the people of the United
States.
But we cannot stand in the
shadow of this war without know
ing there are things which are ir
some senses more difficult thar
those we have undertaken, because
while II is easy to speak OF righi
and justice. it is sometimes difficult
to work them out in practice. ant
there will be required purity OF
motives and disinterestedness of OBJ
ject which the world has never
witnessed before in the councils Of
nations.
1t is for that reason that it seems

PARIS, Jan. 3.-Spreading democracy
by means OF food, inculcatlng the
principles of a league of nations with
daily bread, is one of the great tasks
facing the American Peace Commits
sion. From its offices in the Hotel
Crillon Herbert c. Hoover will wrestle
with the spectre of famine in the Cen
trail European States, freed through
tho Allies victory. \ formal an
nouncement of the organization of
this great work was made to-day by
the Peace Commission as follows:
ITpon President Wilson's arrival the
results OF the Investigations OF the
Cnited-S.ates and allied Government
officials into>the food situation OF the
liberated. neutral and enemy countries
were laid before him Stree his ART
val, in addition to his discussion with
the representatives OF Great Britain.
France and Italy respecting the gen
eral peace settlement, he had been
advised with regard to the conferences
held between the Governments con-
cerning the methods of organization
for the relief of these populations.
Unity OF direction.
The Allies and the United States
are in agreement that relief must he
furnished and that the working out OF
relief Of thif character on large
scale necess!tates unity of direction
similar in character to thai OF the
method successful in the French and
British command in the operations OF
, the Allies on land and sea respectively
The allied Governments had ad-
vIsed the President that they desired
that the United States should take
the lead in the organization ard ad-
miristratioN Of relief. Under this
arrangement between the United
/ States and the allied countries there
are beng appointed two representa-
l t,ves Of each Government TO secure

the problems connected with the re-

and British Will be eating as well as
usual In fact there is more food IN
England row than at any time in the
last two years. while In France restric-
,ions arc being removed because OF re-
ceipt Of supplies from the United States.
The principle OF feeding the Allies
first is being followed in disposine OF
lnrge new stocks which have just been
made available The Allies now arc for
the nrst time really to eat from the
bounteous supplies OF the southern
hemispheres, especially Australia. South
Africa and South America. Already
they are receiving large shipments from
thosc countries, which have lightened
somewhat the burden that America has
been carrying.
!, The main difficulty, however, has not
been ended. The transport OF meat, for
example, is possible only in refrigerator
ships, of which the number Is small be-
cause many of them were stripped and
converted into troop transports and have
not yet been reconverted. The main
shortage OF food in France Is meat, be-
cause OF the large number OF cattle
slaughtered and also those driven OF

the country II is expected that meat

and Czecho-Slovaks. who have been de-
spoiled and made victims of German
mllitarism. receive supplies Of food from

stands.
This does not mean tnat sc are hrih-
ing thea with food. foI II they needed
food ard we could spare IL those IN au-
thnrity would give ii gladly anywa", but
while tho larger allied nations which
President Wilson Is visiting are being
won to the idea Of the league OF nations
by his speeches the smaller may he won
by food. The dominating fact 10 that
the need for food in central Europe IL
very pressing. and II is probable that
the parts OF the old Austro- hungarian
Empire Inhabited by the CzeCho- Slovaks
and the Jugo-Slavs will face real
famine II they are not supplied soon
with food.
The difficulty is increased by tho fact
that there Is little in the form Of "A food
distributing organization now existing
and that tho railroads by which these
peoples can he reached are few and in
poor condition Il Is believed here that
food is the deadliest enemy of BolsNe-
yisn and that the best way to prevent
the inroads of these destructive doc
trinos among the smaller peoples is to
supplv food
