SENATE URGED TO PASS LOAN
 FOR LIBERIA

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The Unit ed States Senate must authorize a loan of $5,000,000 to the Republic of Liberia, or see American influence in the country superseded by Great Britain or France.
 This is the view of the American State Department, which has earnest ly recommended that the pledges made by the United States during the war be kept. Both President Harding and Secretary Hughes have said as much in communications to the Sen ate, where the proposal for the Lii berian loan now awaits action.
 The administration is unmoved by outcries in the French press to the effect that the United States is about to establish protectorate over the "Black Republic" Administration of ficials admit the traditional interest of the United States in the Republic ol IlpSlld, WHiCu, they punt Oul, was established under the auspices of President Monroe, after whom the capital of Monrovia was named, and which represents the highest ambi- tions of the American negro.
 Liberia is bound on one side by Sierre Leone, British territory, and which belongs to France. If the pro- posed American loan is not. .forthcom- ing, either France or British inter- 'ests are said to be ready to advance the necessary funds, provided their re. spective governments are permitted to assume control over the fiscal af- fairs of the negro republic.
 >r AMERICAN PLAN OUTLINED
 While administration officials shy at the phrase "an American protector ate," they freely admit that it is part of the American plan to take up the outstanding indebtedness of $1,600,0O0, and to oust the international commits sion which now supervises the ad- ministration of Liberian fiscal affairs. This commission undoubtedly would be superseded by an American com rection of Llberian financial affairs.
 Such control is regarded as neces- Inv, nj eli finy1 officials if proper safeguards are to be main tained over the expenditure of funds furnished by the United States. State Department experts believe that this loan to Liberia constitutes an invest ment for the United States, inasmuch as the "Black Republic" is known to be rich in natural resources which re- quire only capital for development.
 The interest of the United States in Liberia is described by high admin istration official as traditional" Dan iel Debster, in 1943, stated: without having passed any laws for the rec ognition of the commonwealth of Lii beria, the American government takes a deep interest in the welfare of the people of Liberia, and is disposed to extend to them a full degree of countenance and protection"
 The idea has prevailed among American statesmen for many decades that in case the colored population Of the United States should ever become imbued with an ambition to establish nation of their own, the Republic of Liberia would offer fertile field for the energies of the more energetic and highly educated of the race. The country is considered one of the rich est on the West coast of Africa, and it is believed with proper development it may become an important factor in the society of nations.

Maria Ivogun, Soprano, Gives
Third Recital in Car
h negie Hall.
By Frank III. Warren.

II is hard to comprehend why with
fifty-one other Sundays on the calen-
dar, a beautiful Easter Sunday after
noon should be selected as an appro-
pirate occasion for enticing the pnb-
lie indoors to a song recital. Still, II
it HAD to be done. we presume that
no filter person than Maria Ivogun
could have been hit upon as an object
OF the concert-goers' solicitation. AT
any rate. a goodly assemblage was
present in Carnegie Hall to hear this
foreign colorature soprano. brought
over by the Chicago Opera Company,
give her third and final recital. Nine.
Ivogun, with her fresh and vigorous
voice and sound schooling. has firmly
established herself here as a concert
singer Of distinction. But for few
evident defects she would be really
great. As it is, she is always interest
ing and delightful TO hear, for the
student OF song as well as for the
casual concert follower. Her pro-
gramme yesterday comprised Italian
airs, a group OF Franz, songs by
Bleach and Loewe and several by
Gries. II would be difficult to-day
TO improve upon her delivery OF the
Franz and Grieg numbers.
The big Hippodrome in tho evening

still willing to be numbered among
her subjects. Arthur Loesser, pianist,

an attractive programme. 1t was an
eventful evening. chiefly for Miss
Suzanne Keener, a young soprano,
who sang the part OF Gilda in "Rigol-
letto" for the first time. In spite of
nervousness the young lady managed
I very well. Her voice is light in
texture but OF pretty quality. The
audience was OF one mind on one
point, that Miss Keener is fair to look
upon.

MOVIES FOR TRADE

The Department Of Commerce plans
to use moving pictures for trade pro-
motion. The idea Is a good one. Trade
that follows the flag will follow the
film, too. There is no more convincing
WHY of putting before large audiences
the processes Of our manufacturing es-
adjustments and their finished prod
ucts. Whether these audiences In
foreign lands can pay or not is another
question; and presumably those who
display the pictures will be called on
to exercise discrimination. Companies
whose output is featured are to sus'
tain the cost of the venture. The adj
vantage to American business in gen.
eral, however, will be far-reaching
and it will enhance the prestige OF
our government and the people at
large. The pictures will be most elo'
Quent advocates for the system OF
settled conditions and ordered living
behind them, that made them possible.
Many who would not or could not read
printed matter put in circulation can
not miss the pointed message Of these
illustrations. There Is natural
utilization of the graphic portrayal OF
American industries with the legiti'
mate and convincing publicity that en-
larges business and creates new
markets.
