REFUSE AID 10
President Wilson In Note to Secre
tary Glass Declares It "Unthink
able" That America Will WithhoM
Surplus Food From Starvtnu Wo
men tiiul Children.
WASHINGTON, Jan. L'S. Presi
dent Wilson today asked Secretary
Glass to make another appeal to con
gress for authority to loan $i:0,000,
000 to Poland, Austria and Armenia
to relieve their desperate food situa
tion. Tho president wrote the secretary
that it was "unthinkable" to him
lhat the Tinted States should with
hold from the stricken people of
those countries the- assistance which
could Ito rendered "by making (vail
alde on credit a small portion of our
exportable surplus of food."
The president's letter follows:
"With considerable regret I have
noticed from the press that congress
is delaying the granting of authority
for the extension of prompt and gen
erous relief to the stricken portion in
Kuropo. the urgency and importance
of which, especially in respect to Po
land, Austria, and Armenia, you have
fully explained to tho ways and
means committee.
"It is unthinkable to mo that wo
should withhold from those people!
who arc in such mental and physical
distress the assistance which can be
rendered by making available on
credit a small proportion of our ex
portable surplus of food which would
alleviate tho situation.
"While 1 am sure that you must
havo explained fully to tho ways arid
means committee the appalling situa
tion in thc&o parts of Kuropo where
men, f women and children are now
dying of starvation and tho urgent
necessity for prompt assistance, I bog
of you that you make another appeal
to congress. I am Informed that thru
the published reports (.'f hearings le
Toro the ways and means committee,
the congress has now been furnished
with incontrovertible facts showing
the necessity for immediate affirma
tive action.
"This prosperous republic ought
not to bear any part of tho responsi
bility for the moral and material
chaos that must result from an un
willingness on our part to aid those
less fortunate than ourselves. We
cannot, merely to husband a small
proportion of our surplus permit, the
happening of this great catasl ropho."

according lo Mr. Anderson, it was

"The sti p posed signals which are
considered unusual probably are pro
duced by some spark station," he said
"and are being heard at a greater
distance than ordinarily because of
the clearness of tho atmosphere and
the absence of the static. The fact
that the mysterious signals arc-pul-ly
