Were the field of American in

could hardly fail to grow fertile
under the irrigation of so rich a

normal domestic business, unaf-

beginning to thrive.
That is why big business men
who a short time ago sat in the

suddenly jumped up and hailed

more than few cents for each
destitute Belgian enough to buy
food for a few days.
The Dollar Christmas Fund
has one great ambition to see
/ that every man, woman and
child this Christmas shall have
food, clothing and shelter. This
great achievement is happily still
possible and to this end we are
working with the Christmas Fund
Iof London which has collected
for the same purpose nearly SiOO
l00O. The cooperation OF the two
organizations mas many decided
advantages. 1t provides a safe
guard against waste from over
tapping. 1t enables our Fund TO
enjoy the guidance of members
of the Belgian Government as re
|gards the distribution OF relief.
Ian our workers are voluntary
and every cent subscribed, after
