The calls were sent by Republican
Leader Mondell and Democratic Leader
Clark after the Departments requests
for additional funds to combat living
costs were pushed up to the total OF

culture asked $502,060, which will be
used to extend the Departments market

Attorney-General Palmer's appearance

food control act. He found In Senators

The Attorney General opened his az
gument by saying:
This is the only bill I have an,

Senator Hitchcock tried to force SEN

time. The republican leader fatty re-

After the vote leaders differed as to
it's significance. The republicans
claimed it was q certain indication OF

have mustered an even larger vote.
On the other hand. the democratic
leaders called attention to the fact that

Correspondence Associated Press).
London, Sept. 1.-Interest on Rus
sia's state liabilities today amounts
annually to approxi( ,ately @64s.soo. 600.
according to a statement issued from
Omsk by the Minister OF Finance Of
the Kolchak government.
In 1914 the national debt was $685.
000, 900 rubles,, the statement says. In
ternal war time loans aggregated 33.-
O00, 1000. 900 rubles while loans contract
ed abroad amounted to 100000, 900
rubles. thus bringing the debt to a tot
al Of about 10000, 100000 rubles. About
$4,000, 900 rubles yearly would be re-
CURED for the amortization of this
tremendous sum.
The statement points out the fact
that the figures quoted in rubles rep
resent fictitious values as the foreign
( loans were issued abroad in English,
American, French, Japanese and Ital-
ian currencies which cannot be con-
verted into rubles at the old gold rate
Of exchange.
Whereas France. in pre-war days,
was Russia,s largest creditor, 1t is
noted that Great Britain supplied the
bulk Of Russia's financial requirements
during hostilities with France, Amer
lea, Japan and Italy ranking IN the
order named.
