Significance of Austrian Loan Is
Far.Reaching.

The Significance of the successful
fiotation Of the Austrian loan, $26.-
0o0. 900 of which was taken in the
United States, hardly can be over
estimated as the editors Of the coun-
try see the transaction. 1t throws
bright light on the economic condi-
ttons Of the entire world in the view
of many. and the Newark News be-
lieves the most significant factor has
not been emphasized, namely, the
league of nations share of the credit
in making it possible. 1t is the
leagues agent who will control the
Austrian loan and pay back interest
and principal to the American in
vestors. The bankers were shrewd,
even if they did not tell the whole
truth. in refraining from stressing
the leagues connection with the
loan. In honesty to ourselves, in
honesty to Austria, and in honesty
to the league, It Is no more than true
and intelligent to recognize the fact
that fundamentally the success Of the
Austrian loan Is due to the CO.
operation Of the nations through the
league" Accepting to the full the
value of the leagues connection in
this way, the Lynchburg Advance
also points out that "Austrla's house
cleaning should have an Immediate
effect on the other European nations
which have not yet exhibited any
great amount of enthusiasm for set
ting matters Alright. Nations willing
to help themselves will find other ma.

took over children from Smyrna, des-

for them in Constantinople. The
children were rescued from Smyrna
at the time of the disastrous fire and
were loaded on a ship bound for
Mitylene, the Greek concentration
camp, a place of untold horrors. The
crew prevailed upon the commander
to take them aboard the Edsall. The
sailors willingly gave up their quart
