KELP FOR ALIENS Moore Tells Christian American ization Conference How Foreign-Born May Be Aided WOMAN HITS B0LSHEVIKI An urgent plea to help the foreign born people who come to Philadelphia was made last night by Mayor Moore in an address before the Christian Americanization conference in the Arch Street Methodist Episcopal Church. Princess Ountiteuzcne, granddaugh ter of the late President Ornut, who came to the United States in the in terest of llussia, also spoke and dwelt at length ou the misery of llussia, re sulting, she said, from Bolshevik re gime. When Major Moore was introduced he defined Americanism as "the desire of n high-minded and peaceful people to be free nud to be allowed to govern themselves and to worship God in their owu way." Tells of Their Struggle The Mayor told of the struggle many foreigners coming here ure having be cause of changed living conditions. Many others, who are growing richer despite this struggle, he said, should take heed of the situation. Mr. Moore said that in the last two decades the population of the eastern section of the country had changed aud half of it is now foreign born. "I wish to emphasize the danger of neglecting that half of our population that consists of foreigners.." the Mayor added. "I haw been studjiug that question, aud only this morning, ac companied by the director of public hialth, I visited a hospital where per sons were standing in line waiting to be admitted a hospital that is about to be closed because no funds are avail able to keep it open. Do you wonder that those persons are restless aud un happy?" Talks for Kolchak Speaking on "Bolshevism iu llussia," Priuce--s ('untacuzeue, made an appeal for the cause of Admiral Kolchak and other Russians who have been strug gling against bolshevism. It is Bol shevist propaganda that would make America believe Admiral Kolchak's power is crushed, the princess said. The forts are beiug held and victories are being won by the lojal Itussian forces far north of the Black sea." P. P. Claxtou, United States com missioner of education, who spoke on "The Moral Element in Public Edu cation," -said the "Immoral" element of the school situation in this country was that the average school teacher received a smaller salary than the average jailer; that the avcragp salary of instructors is about $035. and only about four teachers iu 1000 receive $1000.

General Assembly Committee ,.,.,, . j nnnnnn A., Will oxuuy 90;,uuu,uuu -iu- nual Budget Program Atlantic City. N. J.. Feb. 10. The executive commission of the Presbvter ian general assembly, which opened sessions here today at the Hotel dial fonte. is discussing the further partici pation of the Presbyterian Church of the United States in the program of the interchurch world movement. The church contributed $200,000 to the survey last September. If full co operation is assumed, the Prcsbv terian Church will meet its apportionment of $02,000,000 in the general budget of more than S300, 000,000 each year for a period of five years. The total budget of the Presbyterian Church in its own endeavors the current war ending April 1. totaled S13.000.000. "of which SI .000.000 was set aside for the building of destroyed churches abroad and to help returning soldiers and sullors in need of assistance. This increase of Siil.000,000 is the subject of much discussion. A final de cision will be reached here. Under the interchurch world move ment proeram, the Presbvtcrian Church would sp-nd $1-4 ,000,000 in foreign fields, whicli is an increase of $10,000, 000 over the last budget. The home mission board will spend $12,000,000 under the new program of activities. The executive commission, which is presided over by Moderator J. "Willis Bacr, of Pasadena, Calif., will com plete the program for the general as sembly which opens in Philadelphia on May 20. The long pending union be tween the Presbyterian Church South and the Presbyterian Church of the United State., of America will be one of the principal subjects of this as sembly.
