PARIS. Feb 5,-The question OF how
Germany is 10 pay for the food which
the Allies are 20 ship into that coun
try still Is the subject Of discussion.
which Is discouragins to the Ameri-
cans engaged in this work The
French desire 20 keep all German re-
sources intact until the indemnity
question Is settled, and they are ad-
vancing the proposal that the United
States should lend Germany the
money.
This would involve an initial appro-
priation by Congress OF $500. 100000,
and the French have been told that
this is out OF the question. The
Americans say the who.e problem
would be solved IL the Allies would
agree to lift the blockade. at least suf-
iciently 10 enable neighborlng neu-
trails Ike Holland and Scandinavia to
sell food to the Germans in exchange
Cor German products.
The whole question now Is before the
allied economic council. The Americans

II would seem that in the meantime an
important decision has been reached by
which Germany will pay for the initial
shipment OF food by neutral credit OF
sac. 100000 Owing TO the dispute over
this Great Britain ia to sell this food to
! Germany, repurchasing II from America
This problem Is involved in the
broader question of finding out what
Germany and her allies can pay for the
lamages inf:yted by them during the
war. This task has been taken up by
the committee on reparation. and the
colossal work OF fixing the extent or
the damage done has been confided to a
special subcommittee. which will re-
ceive the bills Of the Allies this week.
Another subcommittee commenced
yesterday the study OF the financial ca
pacty or ability Of the enemy countries
and stIll another will suggest now pay
ment should be made. drawing up meas
ures to control and guarantee II.
Tho work OF the committee or repara-
ton Is likely to be OF long duration and
II may be one of the last 10 report its
findings 20 the general conference. Its
task Is chiefly TO determine as nearly as
possible the exact amount OF the pay
nent the Central Powers will be able
TO make. whether In money or in ma
terial, and how TO apport'on these re-
/ sources among the allied creditors.
Many concessions are looked for on
the part of each nation demanding in
Identification, for il Is generally believed
that the total huge indemnity asked for
by them cannot be realized. France,
however. will insist upon reparation full
enough to permit the speedy recovery OF
| industry and the resumption OF normal
life in her deva astated regions.
