NOT WORRYING ABOUT HUNS.'
NEW YORK, Nov. 16. The pro
blem of feeding Qermany is not one
of going to their relief, but of re
laxing the blockade, "so. that .they
.muy secure for themselves' -the bare
necessities that will' give stable gov
ernment," said Herbert C. Hoover,
food administrator, before sailing for
Europe today to discuss food mea
sures for the relief of the starving
populations.
'There 'has been a great deal of
unnecessary furore in this country
about feeding the Germans," he said.
"We are not worrying about the Ger
mans. They can take care of them
selves if given a chance, hut the
water-tight blockade has got to be
abandoned. If there Is a relaxation
of the blockade, Germany can 'get
food, fish, from Norway and Sweden,
grain from Argentina, but the
blockade win (have to be lifted. What
is desired most now is for Germany
to get some sort of stable basis so
she can pay the money she owes to
France and Belgium."

WHEAT TO STAND 2.20.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. Wheat
farmers of the United States will not
receive less than $2.20 a bushel for
the 1919 crop. The president's pro
clamation to that effect is still in
effect, and it is a law that cannot be
abrogated.
A commission will be appointed, as
provided in the proclamation, to fix
the exact price, but it will not fall
below the amount named. This in the
face of 'great quantities of wheat re
leased in the Argentine, Australia
and New Zealand.
It will lake all this wheat andl the
European stores, if any, to feed the
starving millions of the old world,
and any surplus that this country can
contribute will also be used, and even
Chen short rations must prevail.
