(United Press Staff Correspondent.) Paris, March 7. Flat refusal of Ger many to permit its ships to be used for homeward transportation of American troops unless a food supply to last until next harvest is first guaranteed bv the allies, confronted peaco delegates of tho great powers when they met this after noon. Thi3 determination on the part of Germary was mado known by her rep resentatives at the economic conference at Spa, Belgium. They informed tho alied renresontatievs the German mnr- J chnntmen would not be turned over unless tho nocessary food supplies were positively guaranteed. Thereupon, the ullics' economic mission returned from the SPa further -instructions, Consider Situation. The entire question of feeding Ger many and tasing tho blockado of the j ctral Pwms was fought to a enmax by the German attitude. American members of the economic nussion re turning to Paris' with worn or Ger many's stand, conferred this morning with the United States peaco delega tion at the Hotel Grillon. Tho "big fivo" considered tho situ ation this afternoon. It was estimated that $400,000,000 worth of food would be required o feed the Germans until the next Marvcet. This sum is doublo the available gold and securities in Germany. Evea if tho amount available wero to bo taken, it Hould cause financial collapse, it w-as pointed out. Can't Pay for Food. Economic experts declared tho only posiblo meara by whicli Germany might pay for food would bo for that nation to start production of exportable commodities.

By John DeOandt Paris, Mar. 7. rA distinct impression prevailed here todo.y that American op position to the league of nations cove nant would show considerable relaxa tion after President Wilson actually rosumes his work in Paris. ; His speech- in New,-York just before sailing was tho subject of favorable comment among the French. Some of ficials hero apparently new hope that tho desired French amendments to the covenant will bo moro acceptable to Wilson. Thty believe the president ap preciates that the terms of the peace treaty can only be put into execution through tho ntedium of the league of nations I with continued American col laboration. . La Liberto, commenting on Presi dent Wilson's sprochog and tho Amer ican situation, said: . , "The covenant is simply nn alliance of free nations which is sufficient if it is provided that France may take ho neeossary territorial and strategic al guarantees to the eastwnid to pro vent new aggression." "Even if Vie is unable to win over a majority of the republican opposi tion," said the Journal De Debats, " Wilson has convinced the ' masses that it is a necessity and that it is his duty to establish a league for the pur pose of preventing all aggressive en terprises."

Washington, Mar. 7 the "nickel loaf" may soon roturn to the market basket of tho housewife, food adminis tration officials said- today. They are working on a plan said to bo nearly ready for submission to Herbert Hoov er and President Wilson to ntilizo the billion dollar wheat prieo guarantee fund for decreasing the price to bread makers and still keep wheat prices at $2.26 for the farmer. The tcntativo plan, according to of iicials, embraces the taking over of tho flour supply of tho country at a nominal profit to the miliars and sell ing it to the public at a loss of $2 a barrel. They express no doitbt that the foreign demand for wheat will bo suf ficient to keep the wheat price up to I he government's guaranteed figure. Bought at 58 Officials state that with wheat at $2.20 a bushel, the flour cun bo bought fairly by tho government for $8 a barrel aftor making allowances for all the bi-products caved in making tho flour nnd for a fair profit. But in order to insure the fivo cent loaf tho flour must cost not moro than $(1 a barrel to tho Ibread makers. The plan considers the government absorbing the loss of $2 a barrel at a total cost "of $500,000,000. Thus the consumor would got a five cent loaf bread, tho farmer the $2.20 price and tho government's appropriation bo us ed to decrease tho bread price instead of boosting the wheat pricei officials pointed out. Estimate Wlieat Crop Tho food administration and tho de partment of agriculture in estimating this year's stimulated wheat crop place the figure at about 1,200,000,1)1)0 bushels. Of this, prbbaibly 050,000,000 bushes will be needed for domestic use, allowing about 550,000,000 bush els fur export and carry over. About 300,000,000 bushels ean be . safely''-exported, it is ibulicve'd, leaving the rest for seed and other carry over needs. Tho world wheat reserve of 400,000, 000 ibushele which was unavailable be cause of shipping needs and which has since been pouring into hungry Europe willbe exhausted long before tho pres ent crop is marketed-,- officials sniy. In addition, nib-nut 300,000,000 bushels in various localities, which has been held a:s a carry over, is already used up. Many of tho largo wheat district in Russia, Rumania, Austria, Gormany and parts of Italy and France thia year will produce only a small portion of their normal crup. Can Got Any Figure So officials have no doubt- that the American export supply can be sold at any figure asked for it. Great Brit ain is now buying some wheat at about $1 25, but this is on contracts whifh have ibeen held up because gf hick of shipping. The Liverpool market cannot again control the world wheat price until there is a world surplus of wheat, ! official state, If tho ntan contemplated is npprov- ed, all the export will be handled by th United tttntoa Uram Ori)oruiloll, !,!,. luMi.llfll tllB food Slir.ftlv from thn United States to the allies during V. ' - J! IT war continued and oeiievea mere would bo little 'objection to buying tho wheat at the high fiture now. Bring Bread Down First Tho price of. bread, food adminiutrn- ' tion figures show, hag not increased in proportion with, the price of wheat, but the government is anxious to unjrK bread down as the first and moot vital step in decreasing the cost of living. 'or fivo years before tho war tho av crago price of wheat was 87 cents, with the average 13 ounce loaf selling for five cents. With wheat at 2.2fl bread -should ibe soiling for fourteen cents to maintain tho proportion, but tne aver- ago price of oread d is only ten cents.
