the poorest Of the Russian refugees
meal, bacon and some conserved milk,
and We are very thankful for it, But
we know it cannot go long and besides
this help is not sufficient.
"The committee has established in
different parts Of Finland schools for
the Russian refugees. The children
are teached there for small amount
Of Finlandian marks or gratuitously.
These schools are mutual help for
the children and the teachers. The
children receive thers their necessary
education, and the teachers, the learned
women, have some earning and do not

schools are established boarding house,

abroad we shall have to close our
schools and bereave our children Of

American representative Of the Inter
national Federa*ion of University
Women. Help US. You must know
that every American dollar is here
about twenty-five Finlandian marks, a
great amount Of money. Helping our
schools, you will save some thousand
children from corruption, you will help
their souls to remain pure. You will
give strong and renewed materials to
withstand the growth of the universal
anarchism and ruin. Your helpA will
give to our teachers and their fami-

winter, to give them clothes and wood
and for their children the necessary
discipline. If you will help Us we
cannot promise to return our debt to
you, but we can promise you to form

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: A letter from Finland TO the
international Federation OF University
Women gives such an interesting pic
ture OF conditions existing there that
we feel it should reach ss many read
ers as possible:
"To Mrs. Edgerton Parsons, Treasurer
of the international Federation Of
University Women.
MADAME: I have just read about
your international Federation Of Uni
vorsity Women, and understood how
great may be your usefulness in inter-
national friendships. remembered
with great grief that we learned
women of former Russia could partici-
pate in your conference. Our staff Of
university women and teachers was al
ready before the revolution in Russia
very great. Unfortunately, we are now
scattered all over the world, running
for life from murder and torture in our
motherland To save our life and
our family we had to fly to other
countries and mainly over the borden
of Finland. In Russia we are now out.

lection.
Between us are also many univer'
sity women, namely, doctors, teachers
and other learned women. Many of Us
have husbands who cannot support our
family, not knowing the language Ga
Mongolian one) and not having the
rights as strangers to apply their pro-
fession. Our neighbors, the Finland.
ers, though a poor people, admit US,
( allow us to settle down in their towns
and villages, but cannot help us other

enough to live. The Russian refugees,

families, who saved themselves over
the borders Of Finland with some
money, 90 further to other greater
countries where they can And help

in Finland remain mainly the poorest
ones. Our husbands, though lawyers,
engineers professors, etc, work now
as handieraftsmen, as joiners, carpen-
ters, shoemakers. But the earned
money is not sufficient to support their
family and to teach their children.
"To help the Russian refugees in
different countries are formed special
Russian relief committees, whose gifts

was removed from its pedestal. In
stead there was set up for worship
the principle of economic self-suffl-
cheney. The grant of nationhood to
peoples making up the former Aus
tro-Hungarian Empire vas wicked,
for it meant local Austria not self
sustaining. Recognition Of the indie
pendence Of the Baltic states was
vicious because it deprived the Rus
sian hinterland Of the door to the
west opened by the conquering Peter
the Great. Economics" was the
word, and Germany must be made
prosperous first.
What will be the next ground for
assault on the Versailles treaty?
viii it be that the treaty should
have given each nation easily defen-
sible military frontiers? Whatever
the shift, past performance justifes
the prophecy that it will echo the
desires Of Berlin and Moscow rather
than those of Paris or London.
The worlds gullibility is appar-
emily great. German apologists are
most Industrious. But campaign Of
deception perhaps can be carried too
far. Already come signs of greater
popular understanding of the one
objective the critics of the Versailles
treaty work toward-the one idea
that underlies, and thus unifes, an
otherwise inconsistent course. This
idea, constantly applied, is that the
welfare of Germany and her assocl-
ates is supreme and must be safe
guarded, no matter what are the
consequences to others.

with the moving van at the Admin

In vetoing the resolution forbid
ding further recruiting for the army
until its enlisted strength is reduced
TO $4,000 the President keeps his
record straight. He is against any
economies which clash With his peace
and reconstruction theories. Con
gress, supported by public sentiment,
wants TO hold army expenditure
down till the Treasury can turn the
corner. 1t appropriated for 1920-'2t
enough money to support 175,0O0

Congress. The two houses tried to
Lold him in check by passing the
resolution suspending recruiting.
The President uses his expiring
power to condono M. Bakers fault
and to encourage tha War Depart
ment TO create larger deficiencies.
This is consistency which puts
pride Of opinion above public inter

Europe's American Debt

In q guarded way Austen Cham

question Of mutual cancellation Of
the debts Of the Allied governments.

vroached our own with this suggos-
ton, but, the project not being we'll

Great Britain has a standing for
taking the initiative in negotiations
along this line. She borrowed from
,ae United States, but she lent to
other countries, her borrowings and
lendings being about equal. Hence
her Treasury will not be the gainer
BY mutual cancellation, although
some of her bills receivable are
scarcely prime, Our Treasury drove
rather hard bargain. Unwilling to
make unsupported advances TO some
nations, it asked Great Britain to i'll
dorse them-used her as d guar
2nteeing clearing house.
The Judgment on this side Of the
vater at present is that we should
not be asked to cancel, or that it IS
TO early to press the proposal.
