FOOD DRAFTS TO RUSSIA
May be Sent Through Joint Distribu-
ton Board

C1Ou IOdIu
Through an arrangement inst per-
fected in London between Walter Ly-
man Brown. chief of the Hoover
American Relief Administration, and
James N. Rosenberg, European Di-
rector of the Joint Distribution Board,
several hundred thousand American
Jews who have relations in destitute
and starving condition in Russia may
now send food drafts THROUGH the
Board which will be honored by the
Hoover organization. This will help
greatly to simplify the relief problem.
A cable just received from Mr..
Rosenberg says: ARRANGEMENTS can
be perfected for the delivery of large
quantities of foodstuffs in Ukraine and
White Russia to individuals in these
areas. who can in turn distribute them
in their respective localities. Thus our
committee will he enabled to DESIGNATE
representative Jewish leaders and as
sociations in affected localities to re-
ceive food from the American Relief
Administration and distribute the
same. THIS for the first time agen-
cies exist through which the suffering
people in these areas can actually be
reached. If American Jewry is pre-
pared generously to aid it's suffering
brethren in these areas, the oppor-
tunity for such humanitarian service
is now presented as a result of the
splendid cooperation of the Hoover
organization and Mr.. Walter Lyman
Brown"
"The food draft arrangement will
help relieve a grave sit'1ation," said
David A. Brown. chairman of the cam
paign to raise S14.O00.000 for the re-
lief Of the hundreds of thousands Of
destitute Jews in Russia and Central

icy and growing editorial protest,
1t will be surprising to note the swift
change of tone. At present there is
no visible political pressure what
ever being exerted.
Tt is not difficult to imagine the
competition which would result be-
tween the principal political parties
to please an influential ro-immigra-
ton element. An idea of the prob
able effect can be gained from con-
versation overheard between a Re-
publican member of Congress and an
official a few days ago, in which the
former related with a great deal of
concern, that in the recent municipal
election in Boston, the Republicans
estimated loss of 10000 women's
votes that would have normally gone
Republican on account of the unfa-
vorable reaction to the operation of
the quota immigration law. "The
democrats are liable to begin making
capital of this thing" warned the
Congressman, "and then We'll be in
mighty bad fix"
AS a matter of fact, there is much
reason to believe that the rather un-
expected action of Secretary of Labor
Davis just before Christmas in adj
hitting wholesale more than 1000 i'm
migrants in excess of the quota was
in Difference to the fear of an unfa-
vorable political reaction which would
be caused by their deportation. 1t
was the climax of the proceedings
which began on December 18th at the
Executive session of the immigration
Committee, where an agreement was
reached that Congress would back up
with legislation of a permanent ma
ture, admission by the Labor depart
ment of deserving cases of aliens over
the quota. The political factor, as
we'll as the humanitarian, had much
to do with the results.
It remains only to be added by way
of summary. that while the general
attitude in Congress at present is adj
mittedly opposed to liberal immigra-
ton, the situation is only to be con-
sidered hopeless if nothing is done
from the outside. If the problem were
tackled by the Jewish as well as other
leaders in an earnest, resourceful, and
determined manner, the results would
be beyond all expectations.

Cotton Markets Co1rapsc.

LONDON, Aug. 26 (Saturday).-A
despatch to the Times from Hamburg
says that owing TO the collapse in the
mark the raw cotton market in Ham
burg and Bremen has completely broken
down. The quotation OF 1000 marks
per kilogram for cotton is purely
nominal. Business Is impossible under
present conditions as intending purch-
asers are unable TO obtain foreign cur
rcncy. while manufacturers lack the
large capital required 10 buy the raw
materials. Bankers refuse to extend
credit. even at interest as high as Is
and IS per cent.
The despatch adds that the stocks OF
cotton dealers are absolutely exhausted
and that the public Is storming the
retailers and buying cotton goods that
are obtainable.
Another despatch to the Times, from
Munich. says the very large speculative
transactions in foreign currency, princi-
pally dollars and Dutch florins. are con-
