ALLIES VIEW
BY Albert w. Bryce

Among many appeals to the Amer
lean people for help in desperate need,
the cry of Belgium sounds just as
clear and insistent as ever. This truth
has been pointed from the very first
Of the appeals for Belgium. There
were. and are, seven millions of needy
Belgians, one and q half millions OF
whom are entirely destitute, two and
a half millions must be dependent up
on charity until the next harvest, and
OF the remainder some are in more
desperate situations than others. but
all who suffer. and many must perish
IL the contributions for their relief
should cease.
For various reasons, the administra-
ton of the whole relief work has
been left and will remain in American
hands; Chairman Hoover Of the Amer
lean relief commission will continue
at it's head. According to a London
dispatch. lit is stated that the Ger
mans will not. or cannot, offer any as
sistance." The liberal contributions
from England and Canada. like those
from Spain. Italy and elsewhere, must

THE GERMAN VIEW
BY Hugo Won kleist

Because the British ambassador was
busy issuing instructions to the
American ambassador in London, Sec
rotary Bryan had to reply to Count
Bernstorff's note himself 1t is true
that Mr. Wilson assisted him and that
it took both these distinguished gen.
tlemen more than three weeks to con-
coct some excuse for their surrender
of the United States government to
Great Britain. Nevertheless, Mr.. Bry-
ans answer is absolutely untainted by
reason. The laboring mountains have
brought forth preposterous mouse.
sillier or more dishonest statement
was never issued by an American Off
cial. In fact. the reply of the admin
istration to Count Bernstroff is the
most dishonest document that was
ever submitted by one great govern
ment to another. 1t is not merely a
slap in the face of the German people.
but a slap in the face of truth.
In response to Count Bernstroff's
specific and definite complaints Mr..
Bryan utters some feeble generalities
that mean nothing. In discussing the
question of the sale of arms he ex-
presses intense surprise that We
should be asked to inhibit this traffic
although he ignores very completely
that for nine months his bankrupt Iii
plomacy has failed to open the ocean
to American food stuffs.
