Supreme War Council Due To
Reach Agreement.
Concessions May Be Made To
Relieve Situation.

Paris, March S.-The supreme war
council, discussing the problem OF
supplying food to the enemy countries
today, was expected to reach an
agreement Monday. 1t was believed
that certain concessions would be
made to relieve the situation result
ing from the disagreement between
the German and allied economic COM
missions at Spa.
The conferees already have ap-
proved plans for feeding people of
dismembered Austria, whereby the
ciple may be extended to Germany, it
was understood, thru adoption of a
resolution directing the supreme eco
nomic council to carry out the provi-
sion of revictualling that country
contained in the armistice.
From authoritative sources, it was
learned the program now being dis
cussed under which the Germans will
be able to buy food provides:
First. For permission for the Ger
mans to engage in export trade, par
ticularly with such commodities as
coal and potash, of which they have a
plentiful supply. The money thus OBJ
ments.
Second. For establishment of neu-
trail credits by Germany.
Third. For use of gold assets if
necessary.
The latter method would be per-
mitted only as a last resort if money
raised thru other means proved insult
i ficient 1t is estimated that Germany
has $500, 000,0 900 in gold. The French
are understood to have tentatively
agreed to such a plan but have in
sisted that first the financing of Ger
many should be undertaken by an
American loan, taking long term notes
| in payment for food. This the Ameri-
cans refused to consider
