PLANS
TAKING SHAPE
America Will Feed People
While Paderewski Forms
Coalition Government.

The Polish immigrants in America
and the Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee have agreed to expend
s2.500,000 in cargo of food stuffs
to be shipped from New York City
within a few days for the relief of
the destitute in Poland. Each party
to the agreement will contribute a
half of the cost and the distribu-
ton will be carried out on the same
basis, being under the direction OF
agents named by Herbert Hoover.
The action of the Polish and Jew
lsh peoples Of the United States will
go far toward bringing accord in
the smaller factions of Poland who
have sought to spread the report
Poles and Jews in Poland. according
to officials here.
Food From America.
The swift action taken in the
United States toward relief in
Poland follows upon the heels of in
formation from Ignace J. Paderew-
ski that the program for the feed
ing of Poland is being worked out
by agencies OF Mr.. Hoover at War
saw. and that upon the arrival of
foodstuffs from America at DanziS,
every facility for the distribution
of the food will be at hand.
Reports forwarded though the
Polish committee at Paris show
that Mr.. Paderewski is making
progress in the formation of a
coalition government for Poland. 1t
is indicated that Mr.. Paderewski
and Gen. Pilsudsky have expressed
willingness to make concessions in
bringing about a government which
would for all time silence charges
that the Polish people are not ready
TO self-government.
Proposed Ministry.
According to dispatches received
here, it is proposed to form a gov
eminent ministry OF sixteen members.
eight from Russian Poland and the
remaining eight being divided between
Prussian and Austrian Poland. Under
this plan the Socialists would have
eight representatives. This plan, il
! is assumed, is a compromise. since
( previous dispatches indicated a mem
| bership OF three Socialists in a pro-
posed ministry of eight members.

FOOD RELIEF
FIGHT TODAY
Senate Busy with Investi-
cations, While House
Passes Supply Bills,

Appropriation bills will occupy
the attention of the House during
the present week The Senate will
be chiefly concerned with investiga-
tions.
The big fight of the week
probably Of the session-will be
made against the 800, 900, 900 Euro
pean food relief bill today This
will come after the rivers and har-
bors appropriation bill is disposed
Of. A vote on this bill will be taken
first thing this morning.
Following the food relief bill will
come the Legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill, to be fol-
lowed by the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill, and the
Indian affairs appropriation bill.
Food Relief Bill.
The food relief bill will occupy
all of the time remaining today
after the rivers and harbors bill is
disposed of. 1t will come up on a
special rule to be brought in by the
Rules Committee. Debate on the
rule will consume at least an hour
and half. and three hours and MI
teen minutes are allowed in the
rule for general debate on the bill
itself.
Discussing the Republican opposi-
tiOn to the Presidents cabled re-
quest for the fund of 100000, 600 to
feed the starving peoples of Eu-
rope, Representative Campbell, Re
publican, of Kansas, said:
Hoover Propaganda.
Ever since Mr.. Hoover arrived over
there a propaganda has been COM
ing from Europe attempting to show
that the food situation is very bad.
This propaganda has spread the news
that the International Food Commits
sion, comprising the food commits
siOners of England. France and the
United States, has elected Hoover as
chairman. This is the propaganda:
"On January 9, the day the Repub-
licans defeated in the Rules Com
mittee motion to report out a spe-
Cial rule for consideration of the
100000 food relief bill. a news dis
patch from Paris stated that Eng
land and Italy have not as yet ap-
pointed their members of the Inter
national Food Commission. and, con-
sequently, revictualing plans have not
yet been perfected"
Let the Red Cross Do 1t.
Mr.. Campbell made the point that
IL was not even known on the other
side what would be done with the
proposed fund. He continued:
THE people in the war-stricken
regions are underfed everybody
knows that. There is no question
that they need help. They need food
above all.
But the Red Cross, which al
ways handles SUCH situations as
this. has not made a report as to
| conditions over there When the
Red Cross makes its reports as to
the necessities of the situation. il
will make its appeal for voluntary
contributions and get them. as it
always does for the relief of dis
tress.
1T is certain that we have had
no information to justify the appro-
piation of $1OO,OOO,OOO to be turned
over to Hoover. to be Used at his
discretion"

A Successful Deer Hunt.

Hon. j. M. Burris brought

deer hunt in the Delta, which
terminated Saturday. There
we're nearly forty who engaged
in the hunt but game was scarce
only four deer in all being killed,
and Mr.. Burris bears the honor
of having killed two out of the
four. His success on this hunt
has so enthused Mr.. Burris
that he is already planning an.
other hunt when the weather
will be cold enough to preserve
the meat and as he is a specially
good shot his friends can count
on at least one feast on venison
