INTRODUCE BILLS
TO AID FARMERS
Aid of Government Asked for Strick-
en- Sections, Feature Of
Session.

Washington, Dec. with me ex-
ception of the forna! resumption of
business on the part of congress and
the appearance and address of Presi-
dent-elect Harding in the senate, the
first days feature was the precipi-
tation of the fight for governmental
assistance in favor of the stricken
agricultural sections of the country.
Senator Calder of New York and
Congressman Byrnes of South Caro-
lima, as a result of plans adopted by
the coalition of Southern and West
ern members of congress, introduced
in the senate and house concurrent
resolutions petitioning the secretary
of the treasury to permit the func-
tioning of the war finance corpora
ton. Committees Immediately began
the consideration of these measures,
and there is little question but that
very quickly they will be enacted.

of congress, Secretary Houston will
not longer refuse to rehabilitate the
war finance corporation, so capable
Of extending loans and arranging
credits whereby surplus American
products may be advantageously sold
in European countries. There are
others, however, who understand the
secretary to be so thoroughly con-:
vinced of the unwisdom Of the gov
ernment attempting to stabilize the
markets that he will refuse to respond
to the resolution unless, otherwise
directed by the president. .. ..
q. AS further comfort for the farmers
Senator Smith of Georgia introduced
an amendment to the federal reserve
act providing for rediscounting by
regional banks of notes given by cot

GREEKS VISIT POLLS
TO EXPRESS CHOICE

Athens, Dec. 6.-The pleolsclte
held today has shown an overwhelm-
ing majority in favor of the return
Of Former King Constantine to the
Greek throne.
The voting closed at sundoWn
and the full result probably will be
published tomorrow.
There were no serious incidents.
The Greek princes, now in Athens
voted in the morning.
Athens, Dec. 6.-The plebisclte
to determine the wishes OF the
Greek people regarding the return
of Former King Constantine to the
Greek throne, began, according TO
plan throuhgout Greece this morn
ing.
In the face of the expressed op-
nosition of the allied governments
the question was put squarely be-
fore the Greek people and the indi-
cations prior to the balloting were
that the Greeks would invite Con-
stantine, who is now in Switzerland
to come back.
In the harbor of Pieraeus' 1ne
port of Athens, important units OF
the French and British navies are
anchored, ready for any emergency
while five additional British war
ships are stationed not far. distant.
In political circles it was said to-
day the whole situation lay in the
hands of Constantine with any So
luton possible. The Venebellsts
were forecasting that Constantine
would receive a heavy compliment
tary vote in the plebiscite but that
he would abdicate in favor Of his
SON, Prince George, duke Of Sparta
The venezelist organ, Patris, has
demanded Constantine's definite
abdication, while other newspaper
comment takes a mournful note to
the effect that the recent aliled
note means revision of the treaty OF
Savros with the loss to Greece of
Smyrna and Thrace.
While the plebiscite proceeded
the white haired and wrinkled Pre-
mier Rhallis, suffering from loss OF
sleep, struggled in the foreign Office
to formulate a note in answer to the
allied communication with Interrupt
ton from every source, due to. his
soean: "This is a democratic gov
srnment: I receive all callers at all
times"
A Joint Franco-British note was
received by the government last
night reminding it that under the
agreement of 1897 by which
Greece's finances were put under
French and British control, the
Greek authorities can print no new
money.
Athens is bedecked with the Am
erican and allied flags and the pop
ulace shows no resentment over
the allied note telling Of the meas
ures to be taken against Greece,
sbould the return of Constantine be
voted at the polls.

NEARLY S BILLION
NEEDED NEXT YEAR
TREASURER STATES
This is Nearly a Billion Dollars
More Than The Current Year
But Some Less Than The
Previous Year

Washington, Dec. 7.-Another
peace time estimate of nearly five
billions of dollars for the govern
ments expenses during the fiscal
year 1922 faced congress when it
reassembled today. The exact fig
ures as transmitted by Secretary
Houston were $4,653.s55,759, an
increase of nearly one billion dol
lars over the appropriations for the
current year, but s211,O0O,0oo less
than the estimates submitted year
ago.
Continuing war costs were direct
ly deflected throughout the esti-
mates, indicating that. the govern
ment might be on a four billion
bases for some years to come as
compared with the one billion dollar
maximum preceding the war. The
single item of interest on the public
debt was at most the pre-war maxi
mum of all appropriations, this total
being .s922,65o,000. In addition
there was an estimate Of $265,754,-
s64 for the war debt sinking fund.
Of the Individual departments, the
army and navy, as usual, asked for
the greatest amounts, the estimate
for the establishment being $685.

These estimates prepared by the
Democratic administration, are for
the operation of the government

new Republican administration. Re-
publican leaders in the senate and
house already have forecast a sharp
cut ir the total and within the week
the house committees will begin the
work of shaping the bills which will
carry the sums for the various de-
partments.
The estimate for the postal SER
vice will not actually figure in gov
ernmental expenditures since the
postal revenues practically cover
the cost of operation.
