Yarrow, director general cf {the Near Kast Relief at Tiftis Pathetic Figure. “He came all the way from Erivan, a two-day trip, to appeal for seed grain {for his people.” she writes. “He pre- {sented a pataetic figure, tall and stoo ing, with the eyes of a student, Xeadly but shabbily dressed, he wore coat and trousers of unmistakably American cut, which, obviously, he had in=d in one of the Near East Relief- distribu- i tions of old clothes. Even a cabinet minister ‘s giad to iget your. last year's garments in this lothesless country. His salury is prob- ably séveral million rubles a year. Hut it takes 3,000,000 rubles to make $10 of n money. “The minister made a last appeal fo {the Near East Relief to sava his peo- Siple by a contribution of seed wheat and seed barley. We. promised to do. our utmost, though. for the pasi three months we have been seeking seed wheat in every available quarter. A few" thousand bushels will arrive frem = | America within a_fortnight, but the i minimum need is 100,000 busheis, Ceuntry Without Clothing. “I hear that you in Ameriza are ccl- ecting. cast-off garments. for. shipment through the Near East Relief to Ar- ! menia, For any slight saccifice this may involve you would be more than compensated could you see the excel- lent use to which such garments are put over here.

The Secre- tary described it as a plan to “see what we can do By purely voluntary action by the mihie operators, which calls for self-denial by all of them.” ‘The operators in_the preliminary conference adopted Mr. Hoover's pro- posal that the price scale fixed b Fuel Administrator Garfleld in 1917, with _any necessary adjustments, should serve roughly as the Basis for price agreements. The scheme, adopted only after fome tense moments in open debate, during which Mr. Hoover told - the operators—assembled in response to Bresident Harding’s invitation—that the “coal industry would either gov- ern itself or the government would govern it,” was drawn up in a formal statement by a committee of the operators present for reference to At- torney General Daugherty. 1t is nkelr that the appearance of only one dissenting vote indicates yhat the plan has some merit,” Secre- wry Hoover commented. “I am not ome of those who wishes to see the government stretch its arm further in the fleld of private enterprise, but.you must make sure of this: T industry must operate intergst, and unless industry can gov- ern itself the public will govern in- dustry’ whether you like it or not, | ‘This situation is loaded with dyna-l I£ 1t is not cleared up the pub- Wil fake siich & Bold on coal ‘pro duction tbat you will not get ri T am here fly-flvo years. today urghng the freedom of business ‘fnzvg governiment and in your inter- est.’ ro- of DAYLIGHT-SAVING VIEW.
