A WISE CONCLUSION.

Secretary Glass in his annual report
says practically that the United States
government will not endeavor hereafter
to finance the needs of Europe and also
that American exporters must not here
alter expect government aid, meaning
that it is time to return to before the
war conditions. That European govern
ments are calling stTenuousIy for aid is
not proof positive that American assist
ance is needed, for American financiers
who have been in Europe do not appear
to regard the need of foreign aid to be as
necessary as is claimed. They say that
IN the Allied countries the individual
financial resources are great. Much
money has been made during the war
and although the governments have ex-
pended much the peoples have prospered
Evidently Secretary Glass believes that
the Allied governments can hereafter
finance themselves at home. Bangor

III my opinion, the situation
n the Near East IS the most
desperate in the world"
Mr.. Hoover has sent letter
to Cleveland II. Dodge, treasurer
i Near East Relief, / Madison
avenue, New York, in which he
says.
In accepting your invitation
to become a member Of the En-
ulutiye Committee Of the Near
East committee, | do so with
reluctance. but out of a sense of
duty towards one of the most
difficult situations in Europe.
Until some political settlement
cal be obtained for the Near
East and some government es-
tablished in responsibility for
the care and .epatriatiOn of the
Armenian population in the eau
casus, this mass of people must
live sheerly by the charity of the
United States. There are in the
Caucasus approximately 1900
600 Armenians, of whom 100000
are entirely observation-disclosures
from Turkey-and amongst them
a tremendous mass Of children.
Il cannot too strongly urge
upon the members of the com
mittee and their supporters the
critical necessity of concentrat-
ing every possible effort to sup
port Colonel Haskell's admins
tration in the amounts that he
requires; otherwise we shall
witness one of the greatest trag-
edies of the entire war"
