make another appeal to congress for
authority to loan sl5o,oo0,o00 to Po-
land. Austria and Armenia to relieve
the food situation.
The president wrote the secretary
that 1t was unthinkable to him that the
United States should withhold from
the stricken people of those countries
the assistance which could be render
ed by making available on credit a
small portion of our exportable sur"
plus of food. The letter follows:
with considerable regret have no
ticed from the press that congress Is
delaying the granting Of authority for
the extension of prompt relief to the
stricken portions Of Europe. the ur-
gency and importance Of which. espe-
cially in respect to Poland. Austria
and Armenia, you have fully explained
to the ways and means committee. It
is unthinkable to me that we should
hold from the people in such physical
ana IlGntdl uiSlTcSS IH0 1oSlotubSo
which can be rendered by making
available our exportable surplus Of food
which will relieve the situation.
while I am sure you must have ex-
planned fully to the committee the ap-
palling situation in those parts Of Eu-
rope where men, women and children
nre dying from lack OF assistance. I
beg Of you that you make another ap-
peal to congress. am informed that
thru the published reports OF the hear
ing the congress has now been fur

showing the necessity for immediate
affirmative action. A prosperous re-
public ought not to bear any part of
the responsibility for thsafhofAl chaos
that must result from the anwilling-
ness on our part to aid those less for-
tunate."
Action by the ways and means COM

loans is expected within few days. A
resolution supporting loans to the Eu-
ropean countries has been adopted by
