H. C. Hoover Says 100000 People
Are in a State of PitifuI
Privation.

London, Dec. 4.--ilerbert, G. Hoo
vm chairman OF the American com
mittee 70, relief in Belgium. returned
to London today after a weeks trip
of inspection in Belgium. Mr. Hoover
reported that the distribution of food
stuffs sent in care of the American
committee is well under way but de-
clared that the condition of famine
which threatened the population OF
Belgium is still desperate and that
on account of the attitude of the bel
ligerents. the Belgians must still ap.
peal to the people OF the United
States for relief.
1T is difficult to state the position
of the civil population of Belgium
without appearing hysterical, said
Mr. Hoover in his statement.
Il do not know that history pre-
sents any parallel of population OF
1000. 900 people surrounded by ing
of steel and utterly unable, by an,
conceivable effort of their own, 10
save themselves.
From the nature Of things. Il Is im
possible for the committee even TO
possess an opinion on the rights and
wrongs which have created this situa-
ton.
The Germans state fatty that the
people of Belgium is normally DEEPEN
dent on the importation of foodstnffs
for fve-sixths of its subsistence. that
the Germans have not the slightest
objection to the Belgians or any one
-elss importing foodstuffs into Del
GUM. that il is not the Germans who
have blocked the oversee supply and
that there is no obligation upon them
to feed the civil population which
could, through the normal course OF
trade. obtain subsistence.
The Allies on the othe- hand, cor.
tend that a free port for the importa-
ton of foodstuffs into Belgium would
practically amount to an entry p)rt
for food supplies for the Germans.
1T is enough for us that there are
100000 people ground between two
gigantic millstones
