Irishmen appealed TO King George TO

that, whatever the consequences, the

Russian Note to Persians

MOSCOW. May 90 (3y The Associ-
ated Press) s).-The communication sent
by Persia to Moscow a few weeks ago
embodied an offer to dispatch a mission
to Russia and to resume diplomatic re-
lations, according to announcement
here to-day Of note sent by M. Tchit-
cherin, the Soviet Commissary for For
eign Affairs, to the Persian govern
ment. This note, it is said, welcomes
the offer of Persia and defines the atti-
tude of the Soviet government toward
that country.
The note declares the Soviet attitude
is based on note to Persia, dispatched
cepted by General Denikine. the anti
Bolshevik commander, who then was in
control along the Southeastern front.
The new note, it appears from sum-
mary given out, annuls the secret

ence and proclaims the freedom Of the

The note further agrees to the aboi-
tion Of the Russian Consular jurisdic-
tion and the placing Of all means Of
communication, as we'll as the former
Russian banks, under control of the
Persian government.
In addition, the note pledges Russia,
it is declared, not to organize military
forces on Persian territory and to open
Russia to free transit from Persia. 1t
proposes the full resumption Of diplo
u:atic relations.
The friendly overture of Persia to
Russia, it is declared here, is due to
the fact that the recent elections
showed large majority for the demo-
cratic Liberals in Tabriz and Teheran

LIBRARIANS join
FIGHT ON UNREST
American Library Association In
augurates Nationwide Books
! for Everybody" Movement.
WILL AID FOREIGN BORN.
Social Problems Can Be Solved
by Teaching American Ideals
and Traditions.
WILL AID FOREIGN BORN

The spirit Of unrest that has been
sweeping the country indicates that
the foreign born, who have fiocked to
the United States from every corner of
the globe have not been given the
proper help and encouragement, in the
opinion of the 1000 librarians who
make up the American Library Associ-
alton and who are now enlisted in a
Books for Everybody" movement.
The effort is a concerted movement
to carry out the Enlarged Program
which the association has adopted.
There are approximately fifteen mill
lions of foreign born in the United
States and of this number six millions
do not read or speak the English Ian
guage. One phase of the Enlarged
Program will be to bring the publisher
and translator together with the view
of furnishing the proper books in suf-
ficient numbers to carry the message
Of American ideals and traditions to
his vast army Of uniformed peo-
pie. They have been largely dependent
upon the foreign press for their writ
ten messages. Many men who live
with their fingers on the pulse of cur
rent events are firmly convinced that
a sound foundation in Americanism
can be easily built among the foreign
born if the proper literature is placed
within their reach in a language they
can understand.
No Drive to Be Held.
In order to carry out the Enlarged
Program two million dollars will be
required. This money will not be
sought through the medium of a cam
paign or an intensive drive, but will
be obtained through the individual eff
forts Of the librarians, library trustees
and friends of Libraries. The Amer
lean Library Association will bend
every effort to bring about the ma
tion-wide adoption of each of the
cardinal points in the Program, which
includes the extension of the county IL
brary sytem and the establishment OF
more Industrial and business libraries.
It now has in operation book service
TO the United States Merchant Marine,
Coast Guard. Lighthouse Service and
HOSPITALS of the United States Public
Health Service. The needs Of the
$4,000 blind persons in the United
States will be cared for. At present
the number of books available is woe
fully inadequate. This will be rene
died and the joys Of good literature
will be brought into lives that are
dorkaned nv n veil which will neve
be raised by any other method.
Not all the work Of Americanization
lies in the great c~enters Of population.
Great sections Of the country where in
dustry is carried on by foreign work
ers do not know public library service.
There are important mining states
where less than a score Of libraries
exist. One mining state has but two
public libraries.
