GERMANY MUST BUY FOOD
The following message receiv
ed from Washington under date
of November, JGth, proves coi -
clusively that there is no truta
in the lccent rumour that A
merica will feed the starving
Germans.
In the almost hystoricul ap
peals of the German provisior
al government for supplies of
food and for permission to- ad
dress itseif directly through a
commission to the American Pub
lie, officials here see a purpose j
to excite the sympathies of a
large element of the American
population nore or less connect
ed by blood ties with Germany
With such sympathies aroused
the Gartnxn government, it was
aid, undoubtly hopes to influ
ence the approaching peace con
ferece towards leniency.
Such appeals as those which
have been sent by wireless
by Dr Solf, German
foreign secretary, to Secretary j
Lansing were said to be quite I
unnecessary and not likely to I
have any r esults.
Piesident Wilson has already
promised to do everything poss
ihle to prevent suffering among
the civil population of the con
quered states. .The entente
powers have endorsed this attit
ude, not so much from feelings
of mercy or sympathy with the
foe as from a genuine conviction
that a starving and desperate
people would be dangerous: —
render any satisfactory peace
impossible and by appeals to the
internation"! spirit endanger the
security of the entente countries
themselves. The design of
the conservative dements in the
entente states is understood to
be to avoid raisi .g any new
lsslies' that would aggravate
these conditions.
It is known offici illy that there
is sufficient food in Germany to
meet immediate needs.
The supreme war council is
planning to provide food in r/i
future and before the present
stocks are exhausted, assuming
the exercise of economy in food
distribution.
p To correct wh it appears to be
a general public misunderstand
in«_r on the subject, it may be
authoritively stated that n me
of this food to be sent from A
merica to Germany or Austria
will be given away.
This food must be paid for by
the governments of those count
ries. Possibly that cannot be
done in German cash, for it is
believed that the store of gold
in the Reich shank has been prac
tic illy exhausted through the
heavy purchases which Germany
has been obliged to take from
neutral countries.
Americanism must take its
stand in the future clean cut,
firm-footed and four-square.
The time of haziness and fog
has passed away forever.
Henceforth all those within our
gates that are not for us, and
for the eternal right for which
we stand, are against us.
