 We are facing such a serious sit- uation educationally,' said President Holmes in his brief introductory ad- dress, that it has seemed proper to offer a program entirely different from the usual. Our schools are suffering from a lack of sufficient number of competent teachers. Educational op- portunity is not, as it should be, equal for all The situation of the teacher must be made more satisfactory to the good of all1 and more attractive to the teacher. The time has gone by when we should sit and wait. leaving it to the public to do what needs to be done, as we have in the past. The time to begin in Connecticut is here and now And I have great hopes that such ac- ton will be taken here as will lead to the institution of an active campaign for the hetterment of educational con- ditions throughout this state"

GREAT RELIEF
LOAN URGED
$780, 900, 900 for Food to
Europeans Advised by
Treasury.
CALL UPON HOOVER
Former Food Administrator
Will Appear Before the
House Committee.

With starvation menacing Western
Europe. and disintegration of all gov
srnment as a possible result, Con-
yress was asked yesterday by Sec
retary Of the Treasury Glass to au-
thoriZe a special relief loan Of $780,
10000 for the purchase of food sup
plies for Austria. Poland, Armenia
and other countries.
The Secretary explained by letter
to the House Ways and Means Com
mittee that the money could be taken
from the authorized capital Of the
United States Grain Corporation with
out making a drain on the Treasury.
Details of the sufferings OF the peo-
pies in Western Europe and general
plans worked out for their relief
BY the Treasury and England were
given the committee by Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Davis
The committee will hear Herbert
Hoover next Monday on the same
subject.
Davis said that for the loans made
i was intended to take such Sc
curities as the governments receiv-
ing the loan could give. Austria has
forests, water power and a tobacco
monopoly. Poland has good railroads
and valuable resources, with no war
1ebts.
You are asking this loan more
for humanity than for the eco
nomics of the situation" suggested
Representative Garner. You are
afraid of the political effect, of the
spread of Bolshevism, if help is not
given"
Admitting this. Davis said the
Treasury was interested also be-
cause of the bad effect disintegra-
tion of governments in Western
Europe would have on the stabiliza-
lion of finance.
Davis said that small measures
OF relief were necessary in Bel
ytum. Italy and for the peoples of
Budapest. although not for Hun
gary proper. He thought the relief
loans should run for a period of
i've OF ten years. Replying to ques-
hOns he said the Red Cross could
not give the assistance needed be-
cauSe its funds were being used in
relieving the distress of disease.
