An Economy in Belgian Relief.

Those who regret the decision of the Rockefeller
Foundation TO cease the transportation of food to
Belgium, leaving the Commission for Relief in Bel
gium alone in this field do not fully understand
the situation. Instead of cutting off generous
source of charitable aid it promises simply to
effect an economy in the performance of the tre-
mendouS task which Americans have set them
selves-that Of keeping seven million helpless and
destitute non-combatantS alive in a man-made
desert three thousand miles away. Every econ
omy that can be effected in an undertaking of
such magnitude will in the end help both gyer
and recipient
The Commission for Relief in Belgium is an in
teruatonal body including in It's directorate rep
resentatveS of the principal neutral nations. 1t
has been enabled to negotiate with the belliger
ents, notably Great Britain and Germany, an
agreement by which none shall interfere with its
shipments of food TO the Belgian non-combatantS
in Belgium, no matter what the nationality of the
vessel conveying the shipment. 1t has had in
trusted to it, furthermore, two large funds of
Belgian and other foreign money, running well
into the millions, one Of which it must devote ex-
clusiyely to paying the costs of transportation
all supplies for Belgium, whatever their point of
origin. The commission has become therefore, a
fully organized transportation agency, the mag
ntude Of whose operations permits it to maintain
a constant ferrage of provisions across the At
lantic more cheaply per unit thancould any single
private charitable organization. Its recognized
international standing procures for its ships, in
the first place, marine insurance rates just half
those which the Rockefeller Foundation has hal
70 pay.
The Foundation has done wise and graceful
thing TO withdraw from any sembance of compe-
tition with such an agency In devoting its gener
osity toward Belgium solely to the purchase of
to be transported by the commission
Ia plan implied in the announcement of its with
irawaD the Foundation will be buying more relief
with every dollar it eXpends. And, heaven
Knows, every dollar needs squeezing!
