The food problein is now more space in the German Press than no any recent time, says the Times, and matters seem to be moving fast towards a radical rovision of the existing control and distribution of supplies.

Recent insus of the German Press throw a good deal of light on the in creasing scarcity of supplies in Germany and the effects of the Allies blockade. For example the Frankfurter Zeitung of April 19 learns from Budapesth that with a view to increasing the "food" supply of the country, the importation of fouristuffs into Hungary is to be centrally organised aller the German Proibly the already existing War Products Company (Ltd.), which is airly importing rice cheese, batter, potato-starch-meal, herrings, and salted its people that, with the world in arms Agrarians, who are still protesting salmoint arget: 23 W.

If nothing happens this is the course which affairs, according to my informa tion, will probably take. The new orders to the submarine commanders will be withdrawn, the U boat war will be re- sumed with full frightfulness, with the almost inevitable consequence of America ranging herself with Germany's enemies. It would then be open to the German Government, baulked in its present effort to bring about a premature peace, to tell
