In addition to the official statement
in response to Senator Borah s charges
that the $l00,000,000 was decided upon

made a supplementary statement to the
United Press today.
" Immediately on signing the armis.

territories would appeal to the United
States for sid, /" said Hoover.
" Repeatedly l stated in public, and
in private that they would need finan-

United States until the next harvest.
As result Of the appeals to him, the
president requested me to go to Europe
for no other purpose than to investi-
gate the situation and organize such
help as we could give in cooperation
with the allied governments. This or
ganizatiou has been effected and wher-
ever it could legally or charitably give

Senator Hurley caused ripple oil
laughter in the senate by introducing
a resolution which provides that all

WOULD MAKE NORMAL
TRAINING COERClVE
Representatives Opposed To
Grade Teachers Without
Normal Certificate.

Whether or not graduates of univer-
sites and colleges from any part of the
United States should be permitted to
come to Oregon and teach in the graded
schools was discussed for an hour this
morning by the House and it was fin
ally decided that they should not.
AS the law now stands a graduate of
any recognized college or University
in any part of the country may come
to Oregon and on presentation of their
diploma, be issued certificate to
teach in high school,
And after teaching successfully for
six months, upon application to the
county superintendent and upon his
recommendation, the teacher without an
examination, is to be given a five years
certificate to teach in the high schools.
And after 30 months of teaching, to
be given life certificate to teach in
high schools
eges should be extended in order that
the college graduate might teach also
in the graded schools.
This brought out the big question as
to whether a normal school training
should be required of teachers il
grades and by their vote, members Of
the House favored the normal school
training for grade teachers.
Cross Of Oregon City favored open
ing all kinds and grades of schools to
the college or University graduate
Smith of Baker and Jones of Newberg
we're opposed. Gallagher Of Ontario al
50 was opposed to college graduates
with no normal training teaching Ill
the graded schools.
Smith Of Multnomah, the labor dele
gate, says the scarcity of teachers was
uue to the fact that hod carrier got
a lot more money than college grad
uate teacher. From his labor standpoint,
he was not in favor Of the "snobbery
that goes with a college education and
that such should not be imposed on
our school children
Mrs.. Alexander Thompson was OPP
posed to turning in callege graduates,
with no knowledge of the technic of
teaching, on the lower grades. Such
law she thought would induce many
graduates from the eastern colleges to
come to Oregon and teach without any
normal training
From the standpoint OF the House,
the college graduate will be welcome
to teach in Oregon but only in the
high school. If ono wishes to teach in
the grades, special normal training
is necessary.

RUSS|A'S PLACE IN
LEAGUE DEPENDS ON
PEOPLE THEMSELVES
Soviet Basis Doubtless viii
Prevail Although Other
Factions Are Strong.
By ]. w. T. Mason

(Written for the United Press)
New York, Jan. PA compromise
agreement by four Russian factions
alone IS necessary to ensure the sue
cess Of the allies plan for calling the
Russians to general conference on
Princes Islands in the Sea of Marmora.
Since the bolsheviki are now the act
ual governing body of Russia their au-
thority will be greater than any 9TH
ers at the meeting But three groups
exist in Russia whose influence must
be admitted by bolsheviki before a
condition of domestic stability can be
assured They are the mensheviki, who
represent the compromise element
among the extremists; the social revo-
lutionaries who support the Kerensky
program and the constitutional demo-
Gratis, known as the cadets who repre-
sent the liberal intellectuals.
The factions have engaged in con
stant conflict since the Russian revo-
luton began, but they have all made
valuable contributions to the success
full overthrow of Romanoff tyranny
The cadets started the revolution and
gave Russia its first free government.
The social revclutionaries carried the
movement sill further ana the bolshe-
wiki and the mensheviki between them
worked out the people of local govern
ment by the soviets.
The bolsheviki primarily will have
to abandon their class warfare in or
der to reach common understanding
with the other groups Recent events
in Germany and the responsibility of
power felt by Lenine have lately fore.
east the inevitable recognition of this
fact by the bosheviki leaders. Hon
esty in meeting financial obligations
will slso have to be admitted by the
bolsheviki. A third principle they can
not escape is the recognition of nation
al elections as the final arbter in do
nestle disputes. The bolsheviki have
been reluctant to test their popularity
at the polls but the delegates to the
Marmora conference will have to agree |
to this fundamental principle of the
democracies of the western world. |
When that is done the foundations of !
a new freedom will have been created !,
in Russia. The societ basis of govern !
ment doubtless will prevail but Rus I
sian citizen will not thereafter become
an outeast just because he is educated. |
Thenceforth Russia can take her rght-
full place in the society of nations.
