Negotiations With Germany
Postponed, According to
Paris Announcement.
SUBSTITUTE PLAN
May BE ATTEMPTED
Preferential Tariff idea of French
Said to Have Support
of Berlin.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

BY Gable to The Star
PARIS, April 1.-THE French gov
eminent announces that the Austrian
government has agreed to postpone any
further negotiations with Germany for
an Austro- German customs union I'M
til after the entire affair has been duly
discussed by the League of Nations
Council at Geneva May 10.
Germany, 1t Is implied, was unwilling
to give 9 similar undertaking, but in
view of the conciliatory attitude adopt
ed by Austria, the result, gratifying to
the French, Is obtained just the same.
Substitute Plan, Aim.
1t is further announced that French
proposals to Great Britain, italy, Poland,
Czechoslovakia. Rumania, Jugoslavia,
Hungary and Bulgaria that these coun-
tries should concert themselves with
France to try to evolve substitute
plan for the Austro-German customs
union project have been favorably re-
ceived.
The French idea, Is already an
nouhSSu tA cilc NhASASo DhHy NEWS,
seems to tend toward a system of pref
erential tariffs whereby the grain
growing countries of southeastern Eu-
rope would find a sure market for their
wheat in the industrial countries Of
Central and Western Europe.
Favored by Germany.
Germany is also understood to favor
preferential tariffs as against the most
favored nation clause In commercial
treaties.
There Is reason to fear. however, that
such arrangements would be considered
injurious to their interests by non-Eu-
ropsan grain-growing countries as the
United States, Canada and the Argen-
tine.

Depression Blamed
For 4 Pct. Drop in
Food Consumption
Average Man Now Eats
Less Meat and Drinks
More SIilk.

The present economic depression has
caused q decline Of about 4 per cent
in the food consumption of the Ameri-
can people, DIR. o. e. Baker of the Agri-
culture Department told the Washing
ton Academy of Sciences in a lecture
last night.
Immediately after the World War, Dr.
Baker pointed out, there was a notable
change in the national diet which had
profound effect on agriculture. Dur
ing the war years, he said, the average
consumption per person Of grains di-
rectly for human food was about $40
pounds. During the past five years 1t
was only about $50 pounds, but the
average American was consuming one
third more sugar, one-fourth more milk
and other dairy products, one-fifth more
meat and vegetables, and one-tenth
more fruit.
These changes" he said, "had q
marked effect on the need for farm
land. If man could live on sugar
alone 1t would require only about one
third of an acre to provide the same
amount OF energy as that in the food
the average American consumes each
year. However, it would require three
fourths Of an acre of corn or potatoes,
