TRUTH ABOUT SOUTH AMERICA

THE trip of the commission estab-
1ished in the minds of the members
the fact that. no market for United
States merchants and manufacturers
is afforded in South America
The above quotation, says the Phil
adelphia Commercial Museum. refers
to the tour of that continent by the
United States delegation to the Inter-
national High Commission following
the meeting in Buenos Aires in April;
it appears in a report sent out from
Washington bearing the marks of in
spiration and authenticity. The COM
mission is further reported as being
convinced that the South Amer
lean trade boom has fallen flat" and
for these reasons: The different coun-
tries are poverty stricken; put together
they have only half the population of
the United States; the developed re-
sources are in the hands of compare
lively few, and the virgin, in the keep
ing of European capitalists and a few
of the great Spanish families; what
ever money the United States may adj
vance will eventually creep into the
pockets of the Englishman, the Ger
man and the Frenchman. That is
OIl6 view VI oOutA AIIl6TiCd ana there
is another; it is difficult to reconcile
the gloomy view of the commission
with the figures of the actual trade
In the first nine months of the
fiscal year 1916, or from July, 1915,
to March, 1916, the value of the ex-
ports from the United States to South
America was $129, 100000. This was
| $20,000,000 higher than it had ever
been before in a like period, and it
was $37,00O,000 larger than the aver
age IF the same period for the five
preceding years. In August, 1914,
South America was emerging from a

The Kansans were in the center of

When the delegates and visitors

TO SAVE LITTLE LIVES.

The Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America has received
word from many of the churches that
they desire to devote the offerings
on Children's Sunday, June IL. to
war relief funds to help save the chill
dren of Europe from disease, starva-
ton and death. The Federal Council
has therefore suggested that. SO far as
1t does not interfere with other ar
rangements. the Church and Sunday
School offerings on Children's Sunday
be devoted in whole or part to the suf-
fering children of all the warning ma
tons. DIR. Charles S. Macfarland
general secretary of the Federal Coun-
ell says in regard to this plan: Chill
dren's Sunday comes in June. What
more fitting disposition could the
children of America make of their
offering than to send it to their little
brothers and sisters of Armenia, Al
bania, Belgium and Poland? The
plight of the innocent children in
these and other lands should be de-
scribed to the children here.
do you realize he adds, that the
children in these stricken lands are
hungry and half naked and cold; that
the filthy rags in which they are clad
are in that condition because their
homes and means of cleanliness have
been destroyed; that this and the lack
of food exposes them to disease and
death; that children, pitifully thin
little girls and boys, are dying by the
thousand in novels, beneath hedges,
on mountain sides, huddled in the
ruins of once beautiful homes. All
their homes were beautiful once-be-
cause they were homes. No stronger
foundation could be laid for peace
among the maturing generation in all
lands than for American children to
save the lives of the suffering chii-
dren of all nations now. Do you think
that a child would save another child s
life now and plunge a bayonet into
his heart ten years afterward? Do
you think that the child whose life
was saved would give him cause for
war? In the Caucasus the children
are now fewer than the grown peo-
pie. In Poland thousands are hiding
among ruins, IN woods, or in hollows,
subsisting on roots and tho bark of
trees. Yet a few weeks and the sound
be hushed forever The typhus cpl
demic left twenty thousand orphan
children in Servia. Forty cents a day
will keep one of the survivors alive in
southern France. The millions of little
boys and girls in the Sunday schools
of America could add many days to
the lives Of their little brothers and
sisters who have nothing to do with
the war. and help to recreate hap
pier world
Tho Federal Council suggests that
the special children's offerings be sent
through any of the recognized relief
organizations, one of which, the Fund
for Starving Children of Europe, 10
Fifth avenue. New York city, is de-
voted entirely to the relief of the chill
dren of the warning countries.
