within two days after the next meet :,
ing In all probability one of the
reasons of this constitutional provis-
ion is to meet just such situation
now presented to me.
Legislature Is Responsible.
81 can not, entertaining the views
that do with regard to this act, ap-
prove it. can not feel that l am
dealing with my people fairly In the
sense of not giving them an oppor-
tunity to pass upon this question
themselves. can not place my ex-
ecutive disaprovai upon this measure.
The responsibility. therefore, of It's
becoming a law must rest with the
general assembly which was convened
| in extra session to pass such laws In
their good judgement may be neces-
sary and proper for the relief of the
citizens of our State. 1t is for the
people to speak at the ballot box with
regard to whether this tremendous
debt shall be placed upon the property
of the State for the long period for
which these bonds run, bearing such
a high rate of interest for State bonds
I therefore leave the responsibility ant
burden of this question upon the gen
eral assembly and the people, shoult
they hy the necessary vote authorize
the same. At last 1t will be for then
to say Whether or not they have givel
due consideration and free consen
to the issue Of these bonds and tn
0 consequences which may result fror
}. the CARRYING out of the terms and pro
visions of this act as now framed.
Gentlemen, I shall withhold execu
J. tive action upon this act and shall ne
+ return It to the house in which it orie
mated within three days from the tim
j it was presented to me if the gener;
j. assembly shall not have adjourned b'

centers the people are receiving an
allowance Of a little more than three
ounces Of -four per capita daily.
"Our experts calculate that to avoid
actual starvation Belgium must have
every month q minimum OF $4,000
tons of wheat, $4,000 tons OF corn.
5000 tons OF peas or beans and

this will cost $4,000,000 to $5,00.000
monthly. There is no money IN Bel

has ceased. Eighty per cent OF the
people are unemployed.
"a plan may be devised whereby
such Belgians as possess property
may give obligations to pay when
