WASHINGTON, April 19.-Pres-
ident Coolidge's telegram to west
crn state governors urging them to
call conference to discuss modifi-
cation Of quarantine restrictions
they have imposed against the ,hoof
and mouth disease in California was
made public at the white house to-
day.
The message said that many of
the restrictions are more severe than
necessary and if enforced will re-
suit in unnecessary hardship and
loss of millions of dollars to fruit
and produce growers in California.
Full cooperation of federal author
tiles in combating spread of the di-
sease was promised.
The message was sent to the gov
ernors of Washington, Idaho, Ne
vada, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming,
Montana, Colorado, New Mexico,
California and Hawaii.
The text of the President s tele
gram follows:
''The federal department of agri-
culture is acting vigorously to con
troll foot and mouth disease and is
vigorously quarantining infected
areas and preventing movement of
disease carrying animals and com
modities. The department has had
experience with three previous out
breaks, the last one being much

control measures are based on this
experience.
Measures Too Severe
"In view of the foregoing, l feel
that some quarantine measures now
imposed by states touching CALI
fornia are altogether more severe
than necessary to fully safeguard
them from the disease. These quar-
antines, if continued, will result in
wholly unnecessary hardship and in
loss of many millions of dollars to
growers of fruits and vegetables and
other commodities which do not car
ry the disease.

ence of authorities of states inter

WASHINGTON, April 19.-By
unanimous vote the house today ap-
propriated $1,500,000 to combat the
outbreak of hocf and mouth disease
in California.
The appropriation, made in q spe
cial joint resolution authorizing the
secretary of agriculture to spend
this amount in fighting the disease,
was in addition to one of 81 100000
made for the same purpose in the
recent deficiency bill.
In asking unanimous consent to
call up the resolution out of order,
Chairman Madden of the appropria
tions committee said there was the
greatest need for speedy action.
If stringent measures were not
taken at once to combat the disease
"nobody knows the hundreds of
millions of dollars that might have
to be expended to stamp it out, -
said Madden.
Sentiment in the house was UNI

Other Democrats repudiated Blan
ton s charge and asserted they were

STABLE FINANCES
Soviets Now Calling in
All Paper Money

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Two cables
from Moscow received in New Yorl,
tell of the great strides toward eco
nomic stability made by Russia in the
past year.
The first received byb the Russian
American Industrial Corp, from its
representative in Moscow, states that
the Russian Commercial and Indus
trial bank, which finances most of the
state industries, including the textile
syndicate, made a profit last year of
two million gold rubles, the equiva-
lent of about $1,06O,00O. A dividend
OF 8 per cent has been declared and
the capital has been increased from
20 to 40 million gold rubles.
1t is thru this bank that the Rus
sian American Industrial Corp. has
sent over 100000 into Russia
since January Of last year. The
banks deposit operations have in
creased so times in the past year.
and it now has a total Of 36 branches.
The second cable came from
George Wishniak, Moscow CORE
oPVhchO VI the TelnelL, jewish da1ly.
Beginning Feb. 16, he cabIed, Russia
ceased to print paper money. The
government plans to call in all its
paper currency. This is not as diff
cult as it might sound as the total
value is no more than $4,000, 900.
altho its face value could not be
written with less than a half dozen
lines Of ciphers.
Russia has already gotten into cir
culation $4,000, 900 worth of the
chervonetz - 10-ruble gold notes.
These notes are already worth more
than the English pound-which has
the same face value. Gold and silver
coins are also being poured into cir
culation.
This news Of the stability of the
finance system in the Workers Re-
public comes while the French franc
is beginning to chase the German
mark downhill and the currency sys-
tenn Of other capitalist nations is de-
preciating.

frantically for some method of
hating the monetary disaster

speedy action by the PREPARATIONS

immediate adoption by the Chamber

These measures, the premier be-
