Through With Question

For three weeks American, Spanish
and Belgian diplomatic representa- tiYes
struggled with the question of sup
plying Belgium with food without max
ing much progress beyond securing the
promises of cooperation from the var-
ious governments concerned. When the
need became acute and it was neces-
sary to get food under way at once
the American amba ssador here called
upon Hoover to form the needed work :
ing organization and the result when
Hoover called for volunteers was tbs
existing commission with its FREEDOM
inant engineering personnel.
The first and most serious obstacle
encountered by the commission was
the refusal of the English government
to remove its embargo on the export of
food. even for such a necessary work
as the succor of the starving Belgians.
Early in the diplomatic negotiations
the British government not only prom
ised not only to allow the eXporta-
ton of food supplies to Belgium, but
promised the Belgian minister a large
cash contribution each month. Evidently
becoming alarmed over the condition
Of the domestic food supply the cab
met reconsidered it's action and de-
clined to do more than make a lump
sum cont ribution of a quarter of a
million dollars to be used to purchase
food for the Belgians in Holland. A..
one of the members of the commission
expressed 1t. this was equivalent %
king the Belgian minister to buy
food for his starving fellow country
men at the north pole, for Holland has
not only forbidden the. export of food
stuffs, but is actually suffering from
a shortage itself
The commission then determined
upon the bold step of buying the neces-
sary. foodstuffs for temporary relief
anc counting on diplomatic efforts and
pressure of public opinion to force the
British government to raise the en-.
bargo. Within ~ hours of the organ
igation of the commission il had pur-
chased a quarter of a million dollars
worth of food supplies, chartered thu
necessary ship and while the food was
being placed on board quietly informed
the cabinet that the Belgian people
were starving and asked, Are yor
going to allow this food to go to tbs
Bclgians or not?
Having carefully advertised the fact.
% the purchase and the departure OF
the shipments for Holland there could
only be one answer from the British
government. The consent was given
but with the stipulation attached thai
an equal amount of food must be re-
placed in the British markets from
some foreign source. This with tn,
additional ruling OF tho English gov
eminent that all supplies for the starv'
ing Belgians must be carried in neu
trail bottoms, practically means that al
relief for them must come from Amer
lea. go the commission will make ev-
cry effort to coordinate the various
enterprises under way in the United
States for the relief of the Belgians
with its work here.

Mems Size and War

It is a matter of some alarm today in
Britain that the average height of the in
<docr workers from whom the army and
rnavy arc recruited In the event of war is
only ) feet inches. says the Indianapolis
Nc-e ''The strength of nation" is the
cry OF the London press. cannot be
snea sured by the strength of its ships; il
has always been and always must be
measured by the strength of its average
man. When we licked the Spanish ar
rnada. in 1885, our ships were small, but
our men were great. When We licked the
French we collared their ships. mounted
the British flag and sent their choicest
men-of-war to Davy Jones. They may
build their ships. my lads runs the brave
song, but they can't build the boys of
the bulldog breed. And we are building
boys Of the bulldog breed feet 6 inches
high"
But. after all, the question of the mere
height of men, considered in connection
with the means and methods of modern
warfare, will have little to do with the
case. This was exemplified in the Russo
Japanese war. when the little brown men
proved superior to the big fellows OF
Russia.
And now with all the great nations of
Europe in arms. little Holland is mo-
ilizinR her troops. This recalls story
Of some years ago. The prince consort of
Holland, a guest of the Kaiser was at
tending a review of the Gerpian troops.
4 regiment Of six -footers passed by. Not
tall enough said the visitor to the
Kaiser
a second regiment passed in review. in
which every man was feet inches
high.
Not tall enough said the man from
Holand.

The dominating trait in the char.
