Panama Government the White award

The Government of Panama has re-
fused TO regard the decision OF the

several counter propositions and has in
simated a desire TO appeal either to the
xeague OF Nations or to the arbitration
OF South American governments.
None of these propositions was ac-

tary Hughes informed Panama the

enough Is known TO make 1t plain tnat
unless Panama peacefully surrenders the

Of Russian relief when II Is well under
way Mt from $3.50. 900 TO $1,000. 600 a
month. The administration will depend
upon its treasury. he said, for necessary
funds, and upon current contributions of
cooperating organizations and individ-
uals.
All American organizations partici-
pating in the work under the American
Relief Administration will meet here
Wednesday for preliminary conference
with Mr.. Hoover. Unity in the distribu-
tion of American charity In Russia was
asked by President Harding 20 insure
the best service to the peoples of both
countries ard TO eliminate the creation
Of unnecessary organizations for the col
lection of funds.
Every dollar to be expended by the
administration on behalf of Russian chill
dren will be spent in this country, Mr..
Hoover has announced, and all the food
used will be sent from here, with the
exception of such surplus stocks already
abroad. Purchasing agents or the ad-
ministration. officials explained, would
buy required supplies where they can be
best obtaired in this country. With
drawal of large quantities or foodstuffs
from the United States should help the
farmers in the movement of accumulated
crops, Il was asserted.
Once under way, American food relief
in Russia is to be a purely privately con-
trolled operation. without Government
support. Because OF Mr.. Hoover's dual
role as Secretary OF Commerce and
chairman of the relief administration,
differences are said to have been drawn
in Europe. resulting from commercial
jealouses, that this country was aiming
at trade exploitation In Russia under
the guise Of charity. However. both
Mr.. Hoover and the State Department
have made 1t plain that American aid
is entirely humanitarian and wholly dis
connected from trade and commerce.

the work among the children and sick OF

carried on by the American Friends
Service Committee, which will be one of
