acute controversy in Congress has re-
volved about the question as to whether
the Federal Government should make
considerable appropriation of money
for the purpose Of furnishing food and
other supplies free to those In need by
reason OF the drought or by reason Of
unemployment.
Question Of Food Fund.
When the Interior Department appro-
priation bill was under consideration In
the Senate an amendment was mcor-
porated saying that $25,000,000 should
be made available for expenditure by
the American National Red Cross "for
the purpose OF supplying food, medicine,
medical aid and other essentials to az
ford adequate human relief in the pres
ent national emergency to persons other
wise unable to procure the same" Nat
urally any expenditure for relief of
human needs in a great emergency
strikes a responsive cord in the hearts
of the generous American, in official
station or otherwise. It soon developed,
however that the American National
Red Cross did not desire such an APP
preparation and did not feel it could
accept it If rendered to it. Judge,
John Barton Payne, chairman OF the
American National Red Cross, formerly
Secretary of the Interior under PreSi-
dent Wilson, urged before the House
Committee on Appropriations that 1.-THE
puDlic viii not 60 into partnership with
Congress in the matter of giving re-
lief. If the Red Cross were forced to
go to Congress to get its funds 1t could
not successfully collect funds by volun-
tary subscription and it would speedily
cease to be an effective organization"
Judge Payne gave it as his deliberate
judgment that such an appropriation
by Congress for charitable work among
our people would to large extent de-
stroy voluntary giving to any agency,
not merely the Red Cross, but to any
agency" He states that such an appro-
priation from the Federal Treasury for
Its use would paralyze the drive the
Red Cross is, in accordance with Gus
tom, making for private subscriptions
for relief purposes. He further said:
Il think the American people are the
most generous people in the world, but
they must be given a clear field. 1
know that in this present campaign
Of ours splendid men, liberal givers,
have insisted that If we accept an ap-
preparation from the Government we
must return their contribution. That
Is true to such an extent that in st.
Louis and Kansas City the chairman
OF the Red Cross chapters have an
nounced publicly, because they could
not otherwise get subscriptions, that

lief in great emergencies in foreign
lands It Is to be remembered that
whenever we have voted such appro-
priation of Federal funds in the past
for relief of distress abroad, govern
mental agencies we're broken down and
society disorganized either through war
or other disaster That is not the case
in the United States today. Further,
by those contributions Of Federal funds
to relieve foreign populations we did not
in any way endanger the existence Of
the American National Red Cross or
other highly valuable charitable agen-
cies IN this country. On the other hand,
such funds coming from che Treasury
would be more emphatic as an express
sion of international friendship than
would any private subscription.
$1OO,0OO,OO0 Fund Cited.
The instance most often referred to
in regard to such an appropriation
for foreign relief is that Of 500, 000, 900
soon after the World War. Many seem
to have forgotten that not only were

priation from the Government, all
contributions will be returned" The
resolution unanimously adopted by the
Central Committee of the Red Cross
stated that st is the sense of the Gen.
trail Committee that the Red Cross Is
in position adequately to complete the
task 1t has undertaken in the drought
stricken areas and it hereby assumes
the responsibility of completing said
task without public appropriation"
Pledge Of Red Cross.
Judge Payne gave Congress this def
mite pledge on Monday, January %:
THE Red Cross has pledged itself to
finance this job and 1t has funds enough
to do 1t If it costs three times as much
as you think 1t will cost" This pledge
had 10 do with the charitable relief of
human distress in the drought areas.
As to the relief of distress through
charitable distribution in the cities re-
sulting from unemployment, he stated
the Red Cross was not operating in ex-
tending aid for unemployment in the
cities, that no city had asked aid from
the Red Cross. that $50 cities are or
ganiZed with Community Chests, that
local agencies are handling the Situa-
ton more efflciently and more effec-
lively than the Red Cross could do it
with Federal funds, and that for the
Red Cross to go into those cities with
Federal funds would mean not the sup-
plementing Of existing relief but SUD-
shutting Federal appropriations for
practically all private or municipal
charities. Upon this presentation Of
the facts Of the situation, the House Of
Representatives on January 80, after a
full debate in which the freest oppor-
tunity was afforded for the offering OF
any substitute propositions and for rec
ord votes thereon. Overwhelmingly vot-
ed against any appropriation from the
Federal Treasury for works of charity,

ton.

Mr.. Hoovers present plan is to
take the French premier to Camp

aid and the President sat on a log
and discussed methods Of eliminat-
ing discordant elements in relations
between their two countries They
conceived the London disarmament

confidence which has since charac-
terized diplomatic negotiations be-
tween the two nations.
Authorities here look forward to
the French premier'S visit as all
opportunity to establish a similar
mutual understanding with France.
1t is understood here Premier
Laval may bring his daughter. If
he does, Mr.. Hoover will arrange
for her entertainment. In accord
ance with old custom, they will not
be able to stay at the White House;

LONDON, Sept. 90. U.P)-If H. G.
Wells, world historian, were made a
world dictator, he would abolish
war, write down debts, and make
the world internationally minded
and ruled"
He assumed a mythical world
dictatorship" in an international
radio broadcast last night and an
swered the question, What would
you do with the World?"
A dictatorship Of common sense,
Wells said, might some day rule
the earth.
In little more than 20 min
utes, Wells told how he would
run the world, If he were die
tatOr, for the next 20 years. He
charged that anyone who did
not have an answer for the
question, "What would you want
to be done with the wOrld?"
had no right to vote, much less
take any more important part in
public affairs"
AS ruler of the world, Wells would
abolish war by reducing armed
forces to dimensions of a world po-
lice and pooling all foreign navies
create a world economic council, as
well as a peace council, and per-
manent disarmament committee,
and reorganize production and dis
tribution on a 20-year plan; declare
the world bankrupt and write down
debts;' establish a single world cur
rency and insure continuation of
the fruits of his 20-year reign by
reorganization of the worlds edu-
cational systems.
Would Abolish War
First of all, Wells said, he would
abolish war; but just to abolish
war is not doing very much. Mr..
Kellogg abolished war year or SO
ago without any results" Recent
events in Manchuria, he said,
seemed just like pre-Kellogg days. "
To abolish war successfully, Wells
said, he would make sovereign states
relinquish SO much of their national
sovereignty as to place the control
of their relations one to another in
the hands of federal world auth
ority, peace council
You cannot abolish war unless

WHO ARE WE'D
Move Made In Order To
Make More Jobs For
Unemployed Men.
By THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 90 UP
Announcement by the Norfolk &
Western Railway company that II
will cease to employ married women
after October l directed attention
today to different phase Of the
unemployment problem. The rail-
road ascribed its change Of policy
to a desire to alleviate unemploy-
ment.
A computation based on 1880 Gen.
sus figures shows some 2,700000
married women employed in the
United States, but only about 1,900,-
900 hold jobs that men naturally
would fill. The rest are engaged
in domestic and personal service.
Latest unemployment esti-
mates place the number of per-
sons out of work at between
100000 and 100000. If all
married women now at work
were replaced by jobless men
there would be a dent in the
ranks of the unemployed, but
not nearly all of them would be
absorbed.
The 1890 census showed a total
of 10,778,094 women gainfully en-
ployed in agriculture, industry and
trades of all sorts. This was 81
per cent of the female population
10 years of age and older.
The total number of men gain
fully employed was 38,053,79 of
1872 per cent of the total male pop
ulation.
No Count Made
The census bureau has not yet
counted the number of married
women who were WORKING in 1890
but in 1920 % per cent of women
workers were married. There prob
ably has been a slight increase
The estimate of married women
working now was made on a per-
centage of 25 per cent.
OF the total women working,
29.2 per cent or 3,149,391 were
engaged in domestic or personal
service. This leaves 1923, ,4O3 in
