Herbert C Hoover, who has been appointed direc tor of allied food relief in newly liber- ted, neutral and enemy territories In Europe, talked about the work before him to the Associated Press today. He said that German ships totaling nearly 3,000,000 tons will be used to carry food to Europe, and that German passenger boats will be utilized to send American soldiers home. "Food worth $1,500,000,000 must be Imported into Europe between now and July 1," said Mr. Hoover. "Liberated territories will be fed first, but much of this territory has no other govern ment than that of scattered municipali ties; it has no credit and is unable to pay for food. "Poland, Armenia, Csecho-Slovakia and the Jugo-Slav republics are in this condition, as well as many other suffer ing sections. Most of the necessary fund must come from the United States, and representatives of that Government are conferring with those of the allied powers as to means for paying for this food." France Names Member. When asked how the United States will raise the money to meet the imme diate demands of liberated territories, Mr. Hoover aald that the President has the , matter under consideration. I Norman Davis was named as the other American member of the council, while France has announced the appointment of Etienne Clementel and M. Vilgrain. The British and Italian members of the council have not been named aa yet. In discussing tbe food situation In Germany, Mr. Hoover said the United States has 38 officers traveling through that country conducting an investiga tion. He said that as yet reports are not sufficiently complete for a definite statement of the German position, but he thinks that Immediate relief will probably not be imperative.- In any event, he Indicated that Germany must wait until the other sufferers are fed. In exchange for the use of German shipping, Germany will gradually be allowed to have food, Mr. Hoover said, adding that the United States will grant to Germany the use of freight tonnage equivalent to the passenger tonnage required to transport Ameri can troops borne. Mr. Hoover said that two shiploads of food are now en route to Finland, and that several cargoes are on the way to Rotterdam to be dis trlbuted by rail to Poland and the Baltic provinces as soon aa financial ar rangements have been completed. Vienna Receives Food. Already 850.000 tons of food have been gathered In Adriatic ports and are awaiting shipment as soon as pay ment is arranged for. Small amounts of food have already been sent to Vienna, where the situation is critical. W hen asked how the commission would prevent the great drain on American foodstuffs from raising prices in the United States, Mr. Hoover said that the food would be taken gradually and onlv as It could be spared. ill RUSSIANS LOOK TO U.
