100000 to $1O,00O,OOO, which was de-
feated rs to go.

debate. during which flood OF elo-
quence was let loose on the arguments
that the starving Russian children,
regardless OF the bolshevik ruin that

should have their cry for bread
silenced with American food when

to tear the bill to pieces.

American people and cry at the same
time for economy.
