Vermont CongreEatiOnalists Hope (,
Raise 100000 This Year for Needs

At the last meeting of the Congrega-
tional National Council it was decided to
meet the religious needs OF the hour by
raising $50, 900 with n five year pro-
gram. This program was later ratified
by the Vermont Churches. 1t Is apparent
that to reach the goal of $4,000 this year
for the State of Vermont from Congre-
gationalists alone will require an unpre-
cedented increase In the present standard
of giving.
Tho county conference now being held
will carry the budget to each individual

This material, he said, was for use against the Russian soviet government and was paid for with long term Polish notes bearing five per cent interest.
 The statements were made by MT. Harding, republican presidential nominee, calling on him to employ your powerful position to acquaint the 1 country with the immensely grave pos abilities to America of continuation of the administrators Polish-Rus- sian policy" He was encouraged to make the request he said, by state ment recently printed in a New York newspaper, quoting the senator as say | ing: Tt is no business of ours what | form of government the Russian peo- pie choose"
 The telegram in part follows:
 You are undoubtedly aware that | the administration has concealed from | the people the facts of the immense | financial loans to Poland and knowl- l edge of it's delivery of huge war stores | to the Polish armies. If you are not, | I can inform you that the war de- partment has provided the armies car | rying on an offensive warfare against ] Russia with 4,600 freight cars, $500. 000 1 pounds of corned beef. 5000 pounds of
