Hoover Announces Policy In Capacity
OF Chairman Of American Relief
Administration

Northumberland assistance
to the starving and sick people of Rus
STA can be given only upon the ''im
mediate release of Americans now
held prisoner in Russia" according to
Herbert Hoover, chairman of the
American relief administration.
Hoover has announced this policy
in a telegram to Maxim Gorky at Pc
trograd. Gorky had issued an appeal
for American air.
The relief administration six months
ago proposed measures for relief of
Russian children, subject to release
of American prisoners, and in view of
recent appeals from Russia has renew
ed the offer.
Other conditions set forth by Hoo

the relief administration representa-
tives in Riga ON the following points
l. That there is need of American
assistance.
2. That American representatives

8. That these members shall be al

committees and local assistance free
from governmental interference.
A. That they shall be given free
transportation of imported supplies
with priority over other traffic.
5. That the authorities shall assign
buildings, equipment and
fuel free of charge.
6. That in addition to the import
ed food, clothing and medicine, the
children and the sick must be given
the same rations of such local sup
plies as are given to the rest of the |
population.
z. That the relief administration
must have the assurance of non-inter-
'erence of the government with the
liberty of all its members.
Hoover promises that the relief adj
will supply all persons
like, without regard to race, creed or
ocial status and that its representa-
ives in Russia will abstain from po-
itical activities.
The conditions are in no sense ex-

due to the discovery Of gold, the same

THE STORY OF
OUR STATES
WASHINGTON
By JONATHAN BRACE
% BY Mcclure Newspaper syndieate.)

| N5So o%CW is OBVIOUS, Tor IL was
~aINS in honor of our first
President, George Washington. that
the state was named, as a lasting me-
mortal to this great Soldier-statesman !
But the actual fate of this region was
due to President Polk, and formed the
main issue in his campaign for cleo
ton in 1914.
Previous to that time, the country
north of California and extending to
Alaska, which was then owned by
Russia, was called the Oregon terri
tory. Claim was laid to this region
by both Great Britain and the United
States as has been seen in the story
of Oregon. In 1918, when the boun-
dairy between Canada and the United
States was settled, this line was def
nitely placed from the Atlantic coast to
the Rocky mountains. But no agree
ment could be reached west of that
and it was left under an arrangement
whereby this territory was to be joint
ly occupied by the British and Ameri-
cans.
Settlers from the United States be-
gan to come into the Northwest III
such numbers that the United States
felt that they should own this section,
which included the present states of
Oregon and Washington, and British
Columbia, through the right of posses
sion. Agitation in favor of actively
pushing our claims became so strong
that when Polk was nominated by the |
Democrats in 1874, one of the main |
planks in the party platform was the |
famous one popularity called Fifty
four forty or fight" This meant that
the United States was determined to
annex this territory as far north as
Parallel "a degrees 40 minutes, which
was the lower boundary of Alaska, or
fight for it's possession. Like many
party plankS, this one was not fol-
owed, although Polk was elected. In
stead in 1916 a peaceful settlement
vas made with England on a cOmpr0-
Mise basis, which made the boundary
'un along the 10th parallel and thus
vas added to the United States an
Irea equal to six times the size OF
<ew York state.
In 1853 Washington territory was
separated from Oregon. 1t did not,
owever, become a state until 1889,
nd then only after thirteen years pc
itioning for admission.
