The question of extending fur

countries will be taken up by the
House Ways and Means Committee
before the end of the week.
This was decided yesterday at
conference OF the Republican mem
bers of the committee, to whom
Chairman Ferdney submitted a let
ter from Secretary of the Treasury
Glass recommending that the Unfsed
States dig further into its financial
pockets to help foreign nations.
Consideration of the proposal will
be begun as soon as Chairman
Fordney can arrange to have Secre-
tary Glass appear before the COM
mittee to discuss both the interest
deferring and additional credits
proposals. 1t is hoped to have him
testify Thursday or Friday.
Not Opposed to Loans
The Secretary's letter to Chairman
Fordney, which was written prior 10
the Christmas recess of Congress. re-
veals that the Treasury Department
is not opposed to further govern
ment loans to European countries.
The Secretary points out that in his
annual report to Congress he urged
that the government discontinue
lending money to other nations, but
says he is convinced now that the
necessary financing cannot be done
through ordinary private channels.
The Secretary's letter follows, in
part:
Reports and urgent advices re-
ceived from reliable sources as to
the shortage and utter lack of food
in certain portions of Europe are
so serious that feel it my duty
to lay some of the facts before Con-
gress. Although the shortage Of food
In Europe as whole is less this
winter than last. there is In parts
Of Europe Especially Austria, Po-
land and Armenia) a most dangerous
shortage of food. clothing and fuel.
In certain sections whole pop
ulations are now dangerously weak
and hopeless from hunger.
The death rate caused by starva-
tion is already increasing to an alarm
ing extent, and unless something is
done, great numbers will die from
starvation and cold.
Britain VIII Share.
THE British government has in
formed this government that it is
prepared to share with us to the
extent of its ability in the relief of
Austria, which. according to our in
formation, is in the most desperate
condition
"As you are aware, the Treasury
has strongly held the opinion that
this government should, at the earli-
est possible moment. discontinue lend
ing money to other governments. I
have urged that private initiative
should be restored and that credits
for purchases in the United States
should be obtained through private
channels.

that in order to meet the urgent
necessity of keeping the destitute
populations of Europe alive through

CASUALTIES IN MINE
STRIKE EVENLY SPLIT
Unbiased Opinion Indicates
Responsibility Is Equal in
Mine Troubles

Williamson, w. Va, Dec 3. (By
Harold Jacobs, copyrighted 1920 by
United Press. )-Of the score or more
killed and the half hundred wounded
in the battle between the 'yeller
dogs" and the "red necks" in the
mine war in Mingo county, the cas-
ualties were about evenly divided and
unbiased opinion indicated that res
possibility is also about equal.
The "yeller dogs are the non-un-
ion men and the "red necks" are the
members of the United Mine Workers.
These names are frequently hurled
back and forth between the factions.
Since the federal troops marched
into Mingo county last Sunday and
re-esta blished their>lines of business
like looking sentries at strategic
points. there has been virtual ces-
satlon Of fighting. Commander Hall
mas asked citizens to surrender their
weapons.
