Washington Times
By Mothers

The Washington Times annual
Good Fellow campaign opened
yesterday and already our desk
is piled high with pathetic pleas
for help.
Mothers, many o them pros
porous themselves a year or two
ago, write of their dread OF
facing a cherries Christmas for
their little ones. Too proud to
ask for charity, they yield to
the appeal in questioning child
ish eyes.
Maybe you. who read this
story toe ", are planning your
own youngsters Christmas. Stop
a bit and think how you would
feel if you knew there would be
nothing under the tree or in
their little stockings Christmas
morning. These other mothers
and fathers are just as loving,
just as easily hurt by their little
ones disappointment.
Names Kept Secret
The Good Fellow Editor will
keep confidential the names of
those offering to play Santa this
year. It is needless to say the
names of those asking for help
will be known only to the editor
and the Good Fellow specifically
designated to take charge Of
their Christmas.
Taking a few letters at ram
dom from our pile we read:
Mrs. S. H. S.:

membered at Christmas or
Thanksgiving but pray my
little ones will not be forgotten
this year. I have two, one seven
months and the other two and

most is food and milk. We have
gone without food for days so
that our babies might eat. They
cry for milk and 1 have none
to give them. My pride has
kept me from asking for char

BIDS
FOR WHISKY
MARKET
By International News Service

ny lnteEnhIOnhl No"b SoHNOO
Hoping to capture from Great
Britain, the pre-prohibition
whisky market of this country,
ireland has opened negotiations
with the State Department to
secure a stronghold for Irish
whisky once the Eighteenth
Amendment has been repealed.
The Irish Free State Govern
ment, which is engaged in an
economic war with Great Britain,
has intimated it's willingness to
increase it's purchasers of Amer
lean agricultural products in re-
turn for a specified quota on
Irish whisky.
Quota withheld
Publication of the quota asked
by Ireland was being withheld
at the latter's request pending
conclusion of the negotiations.
It was learned the requested
concession would enable Ireland
to prevent Britain from resuming
the virtual monopoly which it

The arguments put forward by
Michael MacWhite, the Irish
minister here, have made favor
able impression on American
officials and it was learned this
government will be prepared to
triple Ireland's liquor quota in
return for increased purchase
Of American commodity products.
The negotiations cannot be
brought to successful conclusion
until the Department of Agricul
ture has established a quota for
the general importation of liquor
This question is now under con
sideration at the Agricultural De
partment. The State Department
is awaiting developments before
going ahead with the Irish nego
tiationS.
Shows Benefit To U. s.
Meanwhile, MacWhite is taking
advantage of the lull in the nego'
tiations to present the State De
partment a mass of evidence show
ing why the United States will
benefit if it gives Ireland strong
hold on the American whisky, ale
and stout markets.
He has pointed out large
amount of the ingredients used in
the production of both Irish
whisky and stout comes from the
United States and that these i'm
ports can be increased to include
practically all the grain products
used in the Irish liquor industry.

which has flooded thousands Of acres
of rich farm lands and made tens of
thousands homeless recently is likely
within the next few years to seek new
channel. duplicating the catastrophe of
1852, when the errant river suddenly
changed its course and carved out a
new channel to the sea some 200 miles
south of its former mouth. Although
exact statistics Of the 1852 disaster are
not available, it ranks as one Of the
greatest calamities in China during the
last hundred years.
When the Hwang Ho (Yellow River)
overflowed its banks in Honan Province
recently many feared that it would for
sake its silt-laden bed and return to
its former channel. wiping out villages,
towns and cities in its erratic fight.
Although this alarming forecast has not
materialized, vast areas of Honan, Shan

believe that it is only question of
few years until "China's Sorrow. will

has been little or no coordination be-

In conclusion the editorial states:
What the Chinese authorities lack is
action. They talk great DEAL but do
very little. We believe the authorities
know of both these measures, but they
take no trouble to work on them. For
this reason, we must hold the authori-
ties responsible for the deplorable situa-
ton in Central China, instead OF at
tribut;ng it to natural calamities.
