lISOn App dIS
for Relief Fund
Withholding Loan to Poland, Austria
and Armenia Called ssUn-
thinkable."

Washington, Jan. President
Wilson today asked Secretary Carter
Glass to make another appeal to con-
gress for authority to loan S150, OOO,-
900 to Poland, Austria and Armenia to
relieve their desperate food situation.
The president wrote the secretary
that it was unthinkable" to him that
the United States should withhold
from the stricken people of those coun-
tries the assistance which could be
rendered by making available on cred
it q small portion of our exportable
surplus of food
The PRESIDENTS letter follows:
With considerable regret / have
noticed from the press that congress
is delaying the granting of authority
for the extension of prompt and gem
erous relief to the stricken portion of
Europe, the urgency and Importance of
which, especially in respect to Poland,
Austria and Armenia, you have fully
explainedsto the ways and means COM
mittee
ut is unthinkable to me that we
should withhold from those people who
| are in such mental and physical dis
tn1ss the assistance which can be rem
dered by making available on credit a
small proportion of our exportable sur
| plus of food which would alleviate the
situation. While / am sure that you
must have explained fully to tha ways
and means committee the appalling
situation in those parts of Europe
twhere men, women and childnm are
now dying of starvation and the ur-
gent necessity for prompt assistance,
beg of you that you make another APP
peal to congress. am informed that
through the published reports of hear
ings before the ways and means COM
mittee, congress has now bern fur
inished with incontrovertible facts
showing the necessity for immediate
affirmative action.
1 This prosperous republic ought not
to bear any part of the responsibility
for the moral and material chaos that
must result from an unwillingness on
our part to aid those less fortunate
than ourselves. We cannot, merely to
husband small proportion of our sur
plus, permit the happening of this
great catastrophe.

Earlham to Make Only
Most Necessary Repairs

recommendations of the building
and grounds committee of Earlham
College. which was in session this
week, to make only absolutely neces-
sary repairs this year, will be acted
upon by the finance committee, which
will probably meet May "a at the col
lege.
In view of the present condition of
the college budget, the buildings and
grounds committee decided it was un-
feasible to recommend extensive re-
pairs or any additions to the buildings
or other campus appendages. The
total college budget for the year will
not be known until the Friends For
ward Movement educational funds
have been raised and distributed upon
the percentage already agreed upon
at a joint college administrative con-
ference some time ago. In the mean
! time. the committee stated economy
should be practiced.

Post Says He Followed
Constitution on Aliens

WASHINGTON, May S.-Continu-
ing his defense of his conduct in alien
deportations, Assistant Secretary OF
Labor Post told the house rules COM
mittee today that in many cases ex
orbitant bail was demanded by the
department of justice so as to keep
aliens locked up and that in reducing
the amount of bail he only followed
the constitutional prohibition against
excessive bond.
BY placing the amount at $1,000 in
stead of $4,000, he said, the govern
ment was able to obtain the appear
ance of the aliens when they were
wanted.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Rear Ad-
miral Sims charge that delays on the
part of the navy department prolonged
the war four months and cost 100000
lives was characterized today by Ad-
miral w. S. Benson, former chief of

justice to the navy. Continuing his
testimony before the senate investiga-

allowed to stand would be "to the ever
lasting disgrace of the American navy,

THE safe transport of the Ameri-

Admiral Benson, was the most won
derful feat the world had ever seen
or dreamed of and it shortened the
war very materially.
