WORST EFFECTS
OF THE WAR
On the People of Germany is NOT
due to the Lack of Food
Alone
ASSOCIATED Pressl

Paris, Feb. 13-The rehabilitation
of Germany can not be effected alone
by supplying her with an adequate
amount of food, in the opinion of an
American trained observer who has
just completed a tour of Prussia for
the supreme council of food and relief
OF the peace conference. A letter from
him received by the council yesterday
says
cit may be that food supply is the
first and indispensable need. but am
not sure of that. The disorganization
ard lack of control is so extreme that
/ can without difficulty see food inn
portations leading directly to new dis
turbances.
There is no doubt of the need of
food. The people are affected physic-
ally and spiritually by the poor food
which is given in small quantities, but
there is much more at the bottom of
the almost hopeless situation.
"The people will not work. They are
paid a too high pension for idleness-
They have no real leaders to organize
and carry them. They are going down
further and with few exceptions they
do not blame themselves; they re-
proach the Entente. They are blindly
insolent."
