Washington, Dec. 10.—With its ma-
chinery at high speed, the house Fri-
day turned out the legislative' execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill
and began consideration of the post-
office appropriation bill, clearing the
way for the making of a legislative
record before the Christmas holidays,
beginning next Thursday.
The legislative, executive and ju-
dicial bill, carrying $36,000,000 was
passed after less than three days' ac-
tual consideration. Provisions for an

HIGHEST PRAISE
London, Dec. 21.—The members of
the American commission for relief
in Belgium were entertained yester-
day by American business men at
the Luncheon club. In introducing
Herbert C. Hoover, the chairman,
Ambassador Page gave high praise
to the work of the commission. He
said it was the only existing link be-
tween the great belligerent nations
and the farmer of the Mississippi
valley.
Mr. Hoover spoke of the organiza-
agricultural census, costing $2,286,- tion work of the commission, and the

Postoffice Changes
Plans for Postmaster General Bur-

blocked when the house voted down a
special rule to make in order new

was defeated, 148 to 131, many demo
crats joining the republicans in op-
posing it.
Chairman Moon, of the postoflke
committee, made a vigorous speech
criticising the democrats who voted
against the rule, asserting that "rail-
way influence has been hard at work
to defeat the provisions of this bill
revising the railway mail pay sys-
tem. He declared that the defeat of
the rule was a "betrayal of the demo-
cratic administration."
Claimed Railroads Were Active
Representative Henry interrupted
| to assert that the only opposition to
the rule in the rules committee was
exerted by "railroad interests."
"Name them," shouted Republican
Leader Mann, "let's know who they
were."
The house was in a turmoil for a
few minutes and when the tumult
subsided Representative llenry shout-
ed:
"1 can name them. I say here and
now that the railroad interests tried
to defeat this bill in the ruleg com-
mittee."
Following the defeat of the rule
debate was begun on the bill stripped
of its legislative provisions and car-
rying $312,000,000 for the conduct of
the postoffice department. It is ex-
plight of the Belgian people, which
called it into being. He said that close
harmony existed between the commis-
sion and the national committee in
Belgium. In describinig the work of
the latter body Mr. Hoover said:
"Its patron, protector and most ar-
dent spirit is the American minister,
Brand Whitlock, for whom the Bel-
gian people cherish a justifiable and
undividing affection."
Goes For Actual Supplies
Mr. Hoover described the financial
plan mapped out by the commission,
under which every cent collected in
America is expended for the actual
purchase of food without any dcduc-

tions for the coat of delivery and dis-
tribution. The result is that there
has been already provided food of
an aggregate value of between $7,-
000,000 and $10,000,000.
The response of the American peo-
ple to the appeal in behalf of the
Belgians was even greater than their
contributions for the sufferers from
the San Francisco earthquake, Mr.
Hoover continued. The commission
now has on the way or under charter
32 ships which will provide an ade-
quate supply of food till February 12.
The appeal to governors of the va-
rious States and such institutions as
the Rockefeller Foundation had met
with a most generous response.
Issues Weekly Balance Sheets
Mr. Hoover pointed out the abso-
lute necessity of having active work-
ers on the commission and it is stat-
ed that, even the diplomatic members
were not merely ornamental. He said
the commission was perhaps the only
philanthropic organization in the
world which issues weekly balance
sheets and that there was none whose
administration cost less in proportion
to its turn over. In regard to the
relations which the commission has
established with the various belliger-
ents Mr. Hoover said:

J.H.QUEBE
Temple, Texas, December 21.—It
is learned from unofficial sources
that thus far, C. W. Woodman of Ft.
Worth, who was named as State la-
bor commissioner one week ago by
Governor-elect Ferguson, still has
the matter of acceptance under ad-
visement and there is a possibility
of his final declination of the place.
Friends of Mr. Woodman say that his
acceptance of the post would entail
a severe financial sacrifice upon his
part that he can hardly afford to
make. The appointment was ten-
dered him unsolicited and the man-
ner of its bestowal is regarded as a
very high compliment. It is known
that Governor-Elect Ferguson is very
anxious that Mr. Woodman fill the
position as he regards him as tho
ideal man for the place. Friends
of G. W. Bock of Galveston are hope-
ful that in the event of Mr. Wood-
man finally deciding to take the po-
sition that their man will be in the
running again.
pectcd that the measure will be pass-1 clear with emphasis is that the Gor-
ed before the prohibition amendment mans are not interfering with the
to the constitution is taken up next distribution of this food stuff. Not
Tuesday. one mouthful has gone down in a
German throat yet, nor do I believe
it ever will. We have had nothing
but help from the Germans.
"When wo were asked to undertake
this work the first question which
arose in our minds was, why don't
the Germans provision the people of
Belgium? Under international law,
we were told, it is the duty of an
occupying army to feed the civil pop-
ulation anil certain elements in Eng-
land said thut in assisting Belgium?
we would be aiding the Germans.
Blamed the British Navy
"The Germans said that nothing
prevents the normal flow of trade
and the revival of industry in Bel-
gium except the British navy and
that therefore the moral responsibili-
ty for the starvation of this popula-
tion rests with the allies.
For this reason it is argued the
civil population is still assisting the
allies and since the allies have these
benefits they are morally obliged to
support the population. Furthermore
it is said that while the German food
supply is adequate to carry on the
war to its end, if that country had
to take upon its back the additional
load of feeding 7,000,000 persons their
stores might be depleted seribusly and
as their national integrity is at stake
they do not propose to do it.
The American people's ideals of
humanity never have shown as bright-
, ly as at present.
I)o Not Stop to Argue
"I have an observation to make
with regard to the arguments I out-
lined not by way of refutation, but
with reference to the American point
of view. It is that before the ques-
tion is settled as to who is morally
responsible for the feeding of the
Belgians these people will have been
starved and violence will have broken
out in that country. There has been
a large loss of life among innocent
people already, in certain districts
which we have not been able to pen-
etrate. Attempts have been made by
the starving population to seize Ger-
man military stores and the resultant
loss of life has been serious.
"It is enough for America that 7,-
000,000 of humanity are in the hop-
' .. ....i i.... — j~.U-
pors, passing between two gigantic
millstones. The Belgians arc not a
people who digged the world into
war by the ambition of their soldiers
or their nailers.
"They, like our own peofle, have
sought to conquer only by ways of
peace, industry and intellect. They
have fought a hard fight. I have not
yet met a man-in Belgium who re-
grets in the least having made the
struggle. At this moment, surround-
ed by a ring of steel, l,f>00,000 per-
sons are in the breadline and no
household in Belgium has bread to
eat except it comes through us. The
natural philanthropy of our AmerlctA
people, our wealth and our abundant#
—these are the arguments we put
forward."
