GERMANY PLANS TO ASK HUGE FOOD CREDIT May Appeal to U.

S. for to Save People from Starvation. (By th Vnited Pre.) Washington, Nov. '27. Germany is preparing to appeal to the United States for a huge credit with which to purchase food supplies to save her people from starvation, it was understood on good authority here today.

Plans for making this appeal have ben delayed, it hi believed, because of the serious political situation within Germany which has just resulted in the downfall of the Stresemann government. American official fcere es timated that -Germany needs at least aj100.000;000 food credit. High Officials of the Coolidge administration arg that, tjT Qerajfe-pople, have been; hold out as lonr long as they have against hunger and other internal hardships. Reports just received by the American government direct from Berlin state that the German people have become so fatalistic over their con-dtiion that they seem to have lost all resistance powers. Germany aparently will address her appeal to the American government instead of to American bankers, from whom the money eventually may have to come.

Charity will not be asked, it is paid, authoritatively, but a business-like proposal will be presented the appeal, outlining the guarantees Geramny can offer for the huge food- credit.
