ASKS ANOTHER APPEAL
Wilson Insists On Loan TO Aid
Stricken Europe.
Requests Secretary Glass To Apply
Again To Congress for Help for
Poland and Armenia.

Observation-Disclosures Wilson has
asked Secretary Glass to make anoth-
er appeal to Congress for authority to
loan $4,000, 900 to Poland, Austria
and Armenia to relieve their desper.
ate food situation.
Text of Wilson's Letter.
The Presidents Letter follows:
with considerable regret | have mo-
ticed from the press that Congress is
delaying the granting OF authority for
the extension of prompt and generous
relief to the stricken portion OF Eur
ope,. the urgency and importance of
which. especially in respect to Poland.
Austria and Armenia, you have fully
explained to the Ways and Means
committee. 1t is uathinkable to me
that We should withhold from those
people who are in such mental and
physical distress the assistance which
a be rendered by making available
on credit a small proportion Of our ex.
portable surplus of food which would
alleviate the situation.
While | am sure hat you must
have explained fully to the Ways and
Means committee the appalling situa-
ton in those parts of Europe where
men. women and children are row dy.
ing of starvation and the urgent neces.
sity for prompt assistance. | beg Of
you that you make another appeal to
Congress. I am informed hat through
the published reports of hearings be-
fore the Ways and Means committee
that Congress has now been furnished
with incontrovertibie facts showing
the necessity for immediate affirma-
tive action.
This prosperous republic ought not
to bear any part OF the responsibility
for the moral and material chaos that
must result from an unwillingnes on
our part to aid those less fortunate
than ourselves We cannot. merely to
husband a small proportion OF our sur.
plus. permit the happening Of this
great catastrophe"
