FACULTY OF BROWN HAS
 SENT LETTER TO PRESIDENT
Assuring Him of Their Support in the
 international Crisis.

Providence, R. l.. Feb. 2s.-Fifty members Of the faculty of Brown uni- versity, headed by President w. H. P. Faunce, tonight made public a let ter to President Wilson in which they assured him of their support and prayed that his leadership in the present international situation "be swift and bold"
 The letter said in the present crisis of <.le nations affairs. you. as chief magistrate of the nation. largely re- sponsible for it's policy, will welcome an expression of the convictions of loyal citizens we, the undersigned members of the faculty of Brown uni versity, desire to assure you of our hearty endorsement of your action in breaking off diplomatic relations with Germany and in urging upon congress the adoption of measures calculated to end the present intolerab1e condi- tions under which Germany is exclud- ing American ships from the higs seas.

Kansas City, Mo. Feb. 2s.-The en- 1istment of school children of the United States in efforts to defeat the high cost of living by the greater pro- duction of vegetables in school gardens was considered today by the School Garden association of America. It met as part of the annual convention of superintendency division of the Ma tionai Education association. Plans were made by which agriculturists connected with city schools will obtain permission to use vacant lots and back yards for such cultivation.
 Similar work, in connection with public schools, has been undertaken in many cities, speakers explained, but in view of the present prices and the increased domestic needs, a desire was expressed to increase the school gar dening to the greatest extent possible.
 The opening session today of the National Congress of Mothers and Parent Teachers association was de- voted to a discussion of the benefit that might be derived from the estab- iShInent of such associations in the city schools. Among these, speakers explained, should be efforts looking to the Amerfcanization of foreign mothers and children. the opening of social centers in the schools, the teaching of thrift ideas, hygiene for babies and the prevention of waywardness among children

ed we will have the national market for enormous amounts of raw material and manufactured goods which Europe must use in rebuilding and re- victualing and for that reason if for no other our trade should be brisk and there should be no hard times or loss of business provided we can conn pete N the matter of price.
 The General Theory.
 It has been argued from the direc- tors room to the street that on ac- count of the effects on prices the en- ormous gold issue which we are ac- cumulating will automatically prevent us from having any large share il, the worlds commerce for years to come. And that it is thought by some ecoT- omists that on account of gold issues prices in European countries will be unusually low, and that consequently as little producing as possible will be done in the United States except of absolute necessities.
 Under Changed Conditions.
 T take issue with the theory be- cause I believe that while the finan- cial and trading problem is enormous. ly complicated at present and will be more complicated after the war it is well to remember that economic rules which proved sound centuries ago may not be sound today under changed conditions.
 Touched Upon Speculation.
 MT. wiggin devoted the rest of his speech to the obvious effects which the increase in reserves has brought about in the matter of speculation- and claines that will regulate spec ulation in common and securities was an absolute necessity in wrestling the financial center from London to New York.
