LONDON. July 2.--The report OF the
British officers who have been investi-
eating economic conditions in Germany
was issued as parliamentary paper
yesterday. Referring TO a conference
held with Breslau food experts. the Of

I'VE are bound to admit that Ger

early relief There Is a genuine short
age of all staple foodstuffs. Rations
are far too small for any civilized folk.
and the health of the whole population
is suffering seriously as a result of the
hardships endured during three years
their nerves are unstrung and point
has been reached where the working
class, with empty stomachs, can no
longer keep the peace.
Until the blockade Is raised the gen.
eral economic situation is bound TO be-
come worse. Owing to the lack OF
transport the factories are at stand
still and unemployment Is increasing
daily"
Major A. B. BERTHE, who visited East
and West Prussia, writes: From three
separate SOURCES lehTn lildt thc pNi'NS
of an economic boycott is likely to prove
a complete failure as a punitive meas
ure against Germany, for the simple
reason that the United states is not
prepared to cooperate with the other
Allies and are at the present moment
busily engaged in various schemes Tor
the capture Of German trade for them
selves as soon as the blockade Is raised.
"A Danzig shipper informed me that
an American commission that visited
Hamburg recently made point OF as
certaining the names of all firms on
the British blacklist with view OF
establishing an American trade monop-
oily with these firms An official Of
inland water transport informs me that
an American Chamber OF Commerce has
been founded in Berlin for the revival
OF trade between Germany and the
United States. My informant states also
that Italy Is about to resume trade
relations with Germany"
Lieut. Beyfus, who visited Bavaria, re-
ports that the price of clothing has risen

&. Gibson, the American Minister at
Warsaw, suggested such q mission some
time ago.
Careful inquiry will be made into all
matters affecting tho relations between
the Jewish and non-Jewish elements in
Poland. This will involve an investi-
CATION of the anti-Jewish excuses which
are alleged to have occurred. as well as
the economic boycott and other dis
examinations which are reported to have

Poland.
This work OF investigation In Poland
10 inspired by a friendly desire on the
part of the American Government. 1t Is
stated, TO render service to all elements
In the new Poland. Christians and Jews
alike, and also by the belief that any
measures which may be taken TO amel-

of benefit also TO the rest OF the popula-
ton and that, conversely. anything done
for Poland as unit will be OF advan-
tage to the inhabitants of Jewish race.

CHARGES LAND BANKS
WITH VIOLATING LAW
McFadden Says Dummy Deals
Permit Evasion.

WARRINGTON, July 2.-Violation Of
the law regarding farm loans was
charged against the Federal land banks
as guided and controlled by the Federal
Farm Loan Board" by Representative
McFadden. Republican (PennBylvania),
under an extension Of remarks printed
to-day in the Congressional Record He
asserted that the requirement that loans
be made only to resident land owners
was disregarded and that dummy
deals" permitted evasion OF the maxi
mum amount OF a loan on one farm. He
urged that Congress make Federal land
bank bonds taxable. which he said
would enhance the value Of Liberty
bonds
The rulings of the Federal Farm
Loan Board show that tenantry is en-
couraged and that practically no re-
striction IL imposed to enforce the in
tent of the law requiring loans TO be
made to actual farmers" Representative
McFadden declared.
I'm their mad rush to secure a large
volume of loans the Federal land banks
continuously and persistently violate the
express provisions OF, the law by resort
ing to subterfuges that render them
liable to the censure OF Congress and
Of the courts"
WINE tne TndNInuIn iohH 10 one per-
son is $4,000, Mr.. McFadden said that
"ln order to violate" this provision a
farmer could sell an interest to his wife,
thus obtaining $4,000. and by taking
in another relative as a temporary part
ner.' they could borrow $4,000. In
this connection he cited two transac-
tons which he asserted had been In
vestigated by reliable abstractors that
disclosed loans of $4,000 and 1900
on two Iowa farms.
THE enormous volume OF tax free
bonds that the Federal Farm Loan
Board promises to Issue in the future
will be sure TO have depressing effect
on the prices of Government war bonds"
Mr. McFadden concluded.
