MONEY VOTED FOR
RUSSIAN RELIEF
BILL PASSED AUTHORIZING AN
EXPENDITURE OF TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS.
TWO SOLID HOURS OF DEBUTE
Opponents of Measure Claim That
Connditions of Distress Also Pre
vail In This Country.
Washington—A bill authorizing the
President to expend $20,000,000 out of
the funds of the United States Grain
corporation for relief of the distressed
and starving people of Russia was
passed by the house, 114 to 51.
Opponents of the measure fought It
to the last and forced a roll call on
the ground that the vote as announced
did not Include a quorum of the house.
The roll call resulted 181 to 71 and
the bill now goes to the senate.
In wrangling over the measure the
house attempted to chop It to pieces
with amendments. The first actual
test was an amendment by Represen
tative Bankhead (democrat) of Ala
bama to reduce the amount from $20,-
000,000 to $10,000,000, which was de
feated 78 to 60.
There had been two solid hours of
debate, during which a flood of elo
quence was let loose on the arguments
that the starving Russian children,
regardless of the bolshevik ruin that
had brought about their distress,
should have their cry for bread
T silenced with American food, when a
new fight was started over proposals
to tear the bill to pieces.
Protesting against the use of funds
for the people of any foreign nation,
Chairman Madden of the appropria
tions committee declared it was not
easy to vote a tax on the backs of the
American people and cry at the same
time for economy.
"There are conditions of distress In
this country which would appall con
gress If I dared relate them," Mr.
Madden shouted, adding that Informa
tion to this effect had been laid before
him confidentially.
"But I cannot see my way clear to
vote money out of the treasury," said
the chairman, "when It Is not to be
used to relieve the distress of the
people we were sent here to serve."
When the time came to receive
amendments, more than a score of
members, jumping to their feet, de
manded recognition. In the midst of
the flood of them, Representative
Goodykoontz (republican) of West Vir
ginia stepped forward with a new
proposal which would direct the
President to spend $20,000,000 for re
lieving distress among the "starving
hungry and unemployed citizens of
the United States." It was howled out
on a point of order, but the West Vir
ginia republican stood his ground.
"My amendment may not come with
in the rules of the house," Mr. Goody
koontz declared above the din, "but It
st least has the merit of comlntr with
in the constitution of the United
States." '

Strong inclination In Amerldan and
British Circle* Not to Take ths
Proposition Seriously.
Washlngton.—Announcement by the
Brftlsh spokesman that France has
asked before the naval sub-committee
of 15 for authority In agreement with
the other four naval powers to build
ten 35,000-ton capital ships struck the
arms conference with stunning force.
The proposal was wholly out of ac
cord with theories on which the naval
confrees have proceeded up to this
time that there was a strong Inclina
tion in British and American circles
not to take It seriously. The feeling
was said to rest in part on what Pre
mier Briand said at the second plen
ary session In regard to the American
proposals for naval limitation.
Mr. Brland's reference to "princi
ples" was construed at the time as
acceptance for France of the four prin
ciples laid down by Mr. Hughes In his
proposals.
Paragraph A of the four principles
stated was as follows.
"The elimination of all capital ship
building programs, either actual or
projected."
Paragraph B reads:
"That regard should be had to the
existing naval of the confer
ring powers."
In view of these plain statements of
the purpose of the conference, and ap
parent French agreement In those pur
poses, officials of delegations other
than the French have been wholly at a
loss to account for France's desire now
to add ten 35,000-ton "post-Jutland"
ships to her navy by 1935.
The proposal was believed In some
quarters to be a trading proposition
to accomplish some other purpose not
clearly dlscernable except to the
French.

dustrial classes" during the last few
years pf 88 billions of dollars, with an
equal loss In purchasing power, had re
sulted from deflated value of farm pro
ducts, he declared that this be
traced to the "non-functioning of cap
ital" held by a few great corporations.

posed to advance credits to farmers
on warehouse receipts, on city real es
tate up to 50 per cent of its value, on
farms to 80 per cent and farm im

II CRITICAL HIDE
FOR AGRICULTURE
PERIOD OF THE GREATEST DE
PRESSION THREATENB LIFE
OF FARMING INTEREST.
CANNOT PRODUCE AT ALOSS
The First Task of the Country is to
Bring Agriculture Through This
Period With Least Damage.
Boston, Mass. —The United States
is passing through the most severe
(agricultural depression of its history.
Secretary Wallace, of the Agricultu
ral Department, declared In an ad
dress before the Boston Chancer of
Commerce. Asserting that prices of
major farm crops were lower than at
any time In the nation's experience,
Secretary Wallace predicted that de
creased production would result In
prices "so high that dlty consumers
will complain bitterly, for the farm
er cannot continue to produce at a
loss."
This condition Is undermining agri
culture, the base of the "pyramid
which represents our national life,"
Mr. Wallace said, adding that the
first task of the country was to
"bring agriculture through this criti
cal period with the least possible
damage."
The industrial East, Secretary Wal-.
lace declared, may feel the need of
a sympathetic and thoroughly efficient
agrculture sooner than is realized,
since "the billions of dollars whlch'we
have loaned to Europe must be paid,
hot in gold, but In goods, which com
pete with our own manufactures and
which are produced at a. cost far be
low our own, and to meet such com
petition our own people must have
the cheapest possible food."
Outstanding requirements for the
relief of agriculture, the secretary
said, are better credit conditions for
the farmer, reduction of freight rates
on agricultural aroducts to the low
est possible level, and federal super
vision of such institutions as public
stockyards, market agencies and grain
exchanges.
This country now, Mr. Wallace said
Is "passing through very much the
same experience that England had
following the Napoleonic wars," al
though the transition in England from
an agricultural to a manufacturing
country had set in at the beginning
of those wars, the secretary recalled.
It was the severe depression in agri
cultural products that followed and
continued for many years that finally
brought the change to an industrial
nation, he said.
"We are approaching that period
which comes in the life of every na
■ tton," Mr. Wallace said, "when we
must determine whether we shall
strive for a well-rounded, self-sus
taining national life In which there
shall be a fair balance between In
dustry and agriculture, or whether,
(is have so nations in the past,
we shall sacrifice our agriculture for
the building of cities and expect our
food to tie produced not by independ
ent farmers, but by men apd women
of the peasant type."
Charles' Board Bill Unpaid.
Paris. —"Who is going to pay ex-
Emperor Charles' board bill?" is the
problem the allied governments are
trying to solve. So far no country
has come forward and offered to pay
the bills left behind in Switzerland or
the expenses which will follow the
exile of the former monafch to Ma
deira.
The former king has expensive
tastes. This Is evidenced by the fact
that the Swiss retreat cost nearly
2,000,000 francs a year to keep going.
Ia a hurry to reach his old throne,
Charles forgot several substantial ob
ligations. These and the cost of
maintaining Charles and his large
family at Madeira are occupying the
allied ambassadors' council. The to
tal Swiss bill will exceed several mil
lion Swiss franes, apart from the es
tablishment set up In Madeira for the
former ruler of Austria-Hungary.
