The conferees' report was adopted by both the Senate and House, and the measure now goes to the President for approval. Thewas no debate in either House. Scrr.tor Townsend of Michigan, one of the chief opponents, announced that in view of the overwhelming majority by which the Senate had passed the measure, he thought further opposition would bo foolish. The bill was introduced after Pros ident Wilson had urgently requested Congress to make the appropriation to aid in feeding starving people j and thereby check the westward ad- j vance of Bolshevism. It provides America's contribution to a fun 1 which will be administered by Herbert Hoover. Use of the money is authorized for j the relief of people in Europe and 1 the Near East, outside Germany, Gcr i man Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and .
