The belief that American forces are

control the situation.
The attempted assassination of Gen

reign of terror here. He wu attend

course, no German women or children

PARIS, Friday, Jan. 3. 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.
