BAN ON fascist
DROPPED IN MUNICH
II Big Meetings Held Amid
Cheers for National Unity
as Police Consent.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
MUNICH, January 21.-German
fascisti succeeded in holding twelve
largely attended meetings tonight. by
reason of an eleventh hour dispen-
sation of the police. who removed
the previous embargo when Adolph
Hitler. leader of the Organization,
promised that the meetings would
proceed quietly and that no anti-gov-
ernment demonstrations would be at
tempted.
Only a small police patrol was
visible in the neighborhood of the
halls where the meetings were held,
although the government. kept con-
siderable reserves In readiness.
Herr Hitler went by automobile
from one meeting to another and was
loudly cheered when he declared that
the German eyes today were turning
to Munich, where the thought Of ma
tional unity was being vigorously
promulgated. He expressed the be-
stimulate German untfication.
Hitler gave a different version of
the circum stances which led the Ba-
varian government to proclaim an
exceptional state; he said he had
merely requested permission to hold
He denied that the national So
cialistic open air movement was iden-
titled with separatist Vaccinations
and declared that his sole purpose
was to achieve a union of all the ma
tionai patriotic elements. Hundreds
Of out-of-town delegates were pres
ent at the meetings; these included
Austrians who are agitating in favor
of German n-Austrian union.
Munich presented its usual appear
ance throughout tho day. and the
general impression seems to be that
the government was hasty in pro-
claiming its special measures.

PLEAFOR STARVING

Legation Tells of Magnitude
of Calamity in Appeal to

The Greek legation made public
last night an appeal of Col. Plastiras,
head of the revolutionary committee
OF Greece. to the peoples and govern
ments OF Christian nations asking
sympathy and help on behalf of the
refugees now on Greek soil as a re-
suit of Turkish military activity in
Asia Minor. The appeal, it was said,
would be presented by the Greek
minister to the State Department to-
morrow.
a mass OF women, children and
aged numbering more than a million, -
the appeal said. sis naked, hungry
and without shelter in the middle Of
winter. Every day on account of
hardships of the season and from
sickness they are being decimated
Charity by private individuals and by
groups Of persons has been shown in
a very warm manner from foreign
countries on behalf of the refugees.
Gratitude for Help Given.
Tho whole of Hellenism in revolt
against the treacherous policy of ma
tionaI disintegration feels a. deep
gratitude for that philanthFepic spirit
OF Europe and America, but the mag
nitude of the calamity Is SO great
that even the warnest private charity,
as we'll as the efforts of the Greek
state to alleviate the sufferings, is
insufficient to cope with the situa-
tion.
TT is evident that the calamity is
beyond the economic power Of the
country in view Of the fact that
Greece has not yet emerged from the
rieissitudes of a protracted war be-
gun for the purpose of liberation and
with the approval Of the allies.
"It is manifest that a terrible trag-
edy will develop in this free land
which has always fought for humani-
tartan ideas. II the governments of
Eurepe and America do not hasten
to her assistance.
"In the name of human solidarity
ask for the help of the governments
of the Christian nations for imme-
date assistance on behalf Of the Hell
lenic people who are In danger, and
who expect from Christian civiliza-
ton the salvation of the hundreds of
thousands of unfortunate human be-
ings upon whom death and misfor-
tune have placed their seal"

LONDON, January 26.-Although
all the London morning papers dis
play prominently the statement made
by Stanley Baldwin on his arrival at
Southampton Saturday, blaming
American political system for delay
on funding negotiations few OF them
comment editorialiy. The Times, how
ever, devotes q full column leading
editorial to the remarks OF the chan
oellor Of the exchequer. regretting
the inability OF the Baldwin mission
to effect an agreement. It says the
question now is whether the Amer
ican terms should be accepted,
whether Great Britain should sub
NIT counter proposal or whether
the whole matter should stand over,
Whatever decision is reached, it adds,
must be reached soon.
The Times relterates the British
arguments. saying the money was bor-
rowed after America entered the war
when Americas military aid had not
reached an effective stage and that the
money thus borrowed was spent almost
entirely in the United States, and 1t is
proper and pertinent to add that the
prices charged were almost uniformly
the highest.
