date settlement of the amount of these taxes.

Responses to the Presidents appeal for funds for

too slowly when the grave need OF the hour is consid-
cred. There is pressing necessity for food and cloth
ing. as well Is for medicines and other aids for the
sick, unless thousands Of human beings are to die
from neglect at the very doors Of this nation. The
sums received thus far by the State Department rs q
result OF the proclamation arc generous enough in
