A better and closer understand

will also help in bringing world

For awhile. American people
may have wondered whether Italy
was going adrift. In 1919 and

common sense would prevail In

Whenever the welfare OF Italy
seemed in danger the peopel

after the defeat of Corporette.

for Program, Kansan Says

Scoring Congress for its "miser-
able failure to provide even the
physical basis for q healthy and
vigorous educational system in the
National Capital" Senator Arthur
Capper, Of Kansas, chairman Of the
Joint congressional committee on
public schools in the District Of
Columbia, declared from the Senate
floor yesterday that ''if the men,
bers of Congress are going to talk
school improvement, they have got
TO talk money"
Senator Capper's speech was de-
livered only a few hours before the
House subcommittee on District ap-
propriations completed formal hear
ings on the District budget. dur
ing which only five hours were al
lotted to consideration of school
needs.
MUST TALE MONEY.
Eress are willing TO talk money.

we ready to vote for a 10000. 900

seems to me that we have little
right to indulge in school talk
which relates to the District of
Columbia. Efficient administration
can carry the educational system
so far. but IL cannot supply the
foundation for development.
IF this brings us in conflict with
the policy of reducing expenditures.
would remind YOU that to save
money by sacrificing Young minds
is not economy. / am aware that
il is the boast of many of the
members Of Congress that they

tures. And in so far as it. is com

hearty sympathy with the curtail-
ing Of appropriations.
CROWDED CONDITIONS.
but to cut the school budget of
the National Capital at this crit
ical time; to crowd 10000 children
into buildings meant for 5O.0O0.
and then TO provide only so per
cent OF education. is very great
blunder

A large proportion of these Duild-
ings are 50 poorly adapted FOR

esty upon childhood to continue
them in use.
UNJUST TO DISTRICT.
Congress is not in any sense
meeting its obligation to the city
of Washington. The District VI
Columbia is perhaps the most Ar
bitrarily governed area in the
United States. The indifference
and lack of intelligent considsri-
tiOn which the people of the Dis
trict Of Columbia have to meet in
their governing body is almost suf-
ficent cause for them to gather N
force and march on Congress.
Citing numerous statistics to suh-
stantiate his charges. Senator Cap
per continued: These statistics
mean nothing unless the members
of Congress are sufficiently inter.
ested to visualize the conditi 1ns
which they describe. But whether
or not the Senate is interested.
these are testimonials of disgrace.
and the members of Congress can
not escape the disgrace"

From Year To Year

ATLANTA, Jan. 11.-Officials of
she Southern division of the Ameri-
can Red Cross are now planning the
snost extensive. campaign of activity
yet undertaken by the worlds great
est organization for humanitarian
service. The extensive nature of this
program is made possible by the sue
cess of the roll call, concluded on
Thanksgiving Day
| All reports are not yet in but the
reports thatahave been received clear
Ply indicate that despite national bust
ness depression and the particularly
uncertain condition of the South's
finances, the people of the South
have realized the Importance of
anaintaining the Red Cross organiza-
zion and It's permanent peace time
program.
Z Assurances are given that not only
will the present chapter work be
maintained throughout the division,
but in many instances it will be en-
.iarged. The number of visiting
nurses will be maintained, while home
.fervice particularly for war veter-
ans and the members of their families
ANill be carried on along broader lines
leyen than during the past year.
: In short, the Red Cross has now
pad assurance of sustained public
support which will permit of stabil.
?zed, systematic program, bringing
The greatest amount of good to the
greatest number of people in each
community, year in and year out.
1t was a noteworthy fact in con-
nection with the roll call that wher-
ever the Red Cross workers came in
most intimate contact with the peo-
pie of community, that community
Responded to the roll call appeal in
the greatest ratio.
II ThiS<was particularly true in the
smalEiselated settlement where the
Red Cross chapter was the one organ

the Red Cross nurse was not only
nurse, but teacher, and sometimes
spiritual adviser of the entire neigh
borhood.

Poland to Establish
A National Currency

Warsaw, Poland, Oct. ia COM
plete reform in the existing finances
of Poland has been announced by
Finance Minister Jastrzebski.
His program includes a monentary
readjustment to be effected in from
three to five years. Also he would
increase and simplify taxation. The
time has arrived, M. Jastrzebski de-
clares, for the establishment of a Po.
lish national currency. The unit is
to be the zloty. The treasury has at
it's disposal 1OO,OOO,0OO gold francs
for this purpose, and also $50, 600, ,00O
gold francs for industrial aid.
The minister's tax program in
wolves a general increase in taxes
particularly land taxes, which he pro.
poses to increase 20 times.
Despite the many difficulties
which the nation has faced, industry
has been successfully revived and is
now bouyant. Although the printing
Of money has resulted in deprecia.
ton, it nevertheless made possible
the award of credits to manufactur.
ers and agriculturalists, and it per.
mitted state aid in the matter OF
tariffs and rates for the benefit of the
poorer classes.
1t now remains necessary only tc
establish gradually a gold secured
currency, and this the state is now il
in a position to do.
