New Painleve Government to
Continue Negotiations
Already Started

Paris, Nov. 3.-(R)-The New Pain
leve government in it's declaration of
policy to parliament says it will "res-
olutely pursue, with determination to
succeed, the negotiations with the
allies, begun in London and Washing
ton by the preceding government,
with view to settlement of the
debts"
The ministry's pronouncemcnt
finds the financial problem the
greatest facing the country. AS was
expected, it declares for "a sacrifice,
in which will participate all forms of
wealth." and the revenue from which
is to be used exclusively in reducing
the debts.
To accomplish it's program Of fl
nancial rehabilitation the declaration
says the government intends to as
sure monetary sterilization.
The menace" of the rebellion in
Morocco, it declares, has been COM
pletely swept aside. The first move
for peace must come from the rebel
lious tribesmen.
As for the troubles in Syria, the
government says, they arose from
anti foreign intrigue and "false news
from Pan-Islamic and revolutionary
centers." !,
1t lays down program calculated
to hasten the hours "when the peo-
Piles of Syria shall be capable of gov

1 1000 Children Facing
Slapery-H0meleSS Waits
Traded to Chinese for Pigs

By NEA Service
Manila, =. l.. Nov. 3.-Gills of
American blood traded - Chinese for
pigs
Small boys locked in cellars and
compelled to work as slaves in the
rice fields
Children of IL years Of age and
less sold to foreign masters like so
many animals
These outrages are occurring on
the Philippine Islands. under the
American flag
TO put an end to them fund Of
$2.0GG,000 is being sought. a COM
mittee headed by Governor General
Leonard Wood is engaged in raising
the money, and has sent appeals to
the United States for help.
$4,000 of Them
The children for whom protection
is being sought are some $4,000 in
numbcr-un unfortunate, nameleSs chill
dren CT American fathers and native
mothers, who are usually left to shift
for themselves almost as soon as
they arc old enough to talk. or are
sold into slavery By the untaught
peasant women who bore them.
These luckless youngsters. then,
are partly of American blood born
under the American flag-exposed
from the time they leave their Grad
les 20 lives of suffering. The boys
usually wind up as virtual slaves on
back-country plantations. The fate of
the girls perhaps had best be left to
the imagination. Instances have been
know. where they were sold out
right to Chinese for cash or even for
pigs or some other commodity.
The government is unable to give
these children the protection they
should have. Some system of free
schools and homes is needed.
Need s2.OOO.OOO
Public spirited residents of the
islands are doing all they can to re
lieve the situation, but shortage of
funds hampers their efforts. The
$4,000. coo that is being asked will be
sufficient to provide care and pro-
lection for all of the children, it is
believed
Protestant and Catholic church
schools are caring for some children
now, and the American Guardian As
socation. the organization which is
seeking the fund, is looking out for
an additional number.
But until the amount asked is col
lected, adequate protection cannot be
given.
Mrs. Mary Frances Korn Of New
York and Chicago, who has been ac-
tive in the relief work here, has sail
ed for America at the request of
Governor General Wood to take an
! active part in the appeal for funds.

agency are at West 4Oth street,
