In explaining away doubts about this
country feeding the Huns, Frederick
O'Brien, former acting food admin

connected with the National Admin

Germany would have to buy her food
and pay for It with her own gold. Mr.
O'Brleiv said that the Allies had de-

Mr. O'Brien also pointed to tne iaci
that while there was necessity ror
