Hoover Discusses Belgian Relief

Herbert C. Hoover, Chairman Of
the Commission for the Relief of
Belgium, has sent the following inter-
estlng letter to the members OF that
commission:
New York. May IA, 1917
To my Associates of the Commission
for Relief in Belgium:
We are sure that the whole Amer
ican people will be glad to know that
through the sympathetic arrange
ments made by the President and the
Secretary Of the Treasury. the cost
OF the Belgium and Northern France
relief, so far as it is feasible under
present shipping conditions. will be
borne for the next six months by the
American Government. This has been
made possible by a loan Of S75. OOO.-
600 from the United States to the
Governments OF Belgium and France.
The money will be advanced by the
Treasury in installments OF Si2. 5OO.-
600 per month. of which $500 600
will be available for Belgium relief
and $4,000, 900 for the relief in North
ern France The way is open so that
at the termination of the six months
thus provided for. application may be
made 10 the Government for further
loans We desire to state that al
though the Commission has endeav-
ored for many months to secure this
gratifying result We feel that the ap-
peals that have been made BY YOU
have largely Influenced the Govern
ment in finally granting the request
OF the Belgian and French Govern
ments. Therefore the time, energy
and money expended I'm your cam
paign have done more than to bring
in immediate contributions: they
have helped to insure the relief of
Belgium and Northern France
throughout the war.
The Commission has long desired
Government recognition in order that
its work should be more firmly estab-
lished as a distinctly American un-
dertaking, and we feel that YOU will
join with us in intense satisfaction
that the work has now become a re-
sponsibiity and a duty shared BY the
whole American nation
Realizing that each committee and
community has adopted its own
method OF making appeals and col
lecting funds. we do not purpose sug-
gestlng the specific action which you
will take in meeting the changed con-

! ernments gave their Official sanction
to the operations of this department
A. The Government payments will
commence on June 1; and we shall be
glad to have remittances UP to that
date, but we make no appeal for con-
tributions thereafter.
8. We suggest that you offer to
cancel all pledges made to you for
future payments and offer to return
any moneys which have been paid in
advance on account Of maturing
pledges
6. The children of Belgium will
have the first call upon all food which
is imported. and every effort will be
made to maintain the supplementary
meal which has been so important a
factor up to the present in sustaining
the health of millions of children.
7. Naturally, having built up such
an effective organization you will de-
sire to keep II alive as far as possible.
and we venture to suggest that. al
though the general relief OF the cOun-
tries involved will now be met by the
Government appropriations, emergen-
cies and special conditions may arise
which could only be met by private
donations. In such circumstances your
organization will afford a ready means
Of meeting the demands Of the situ-
alton, whatever they may be. Should
any of your contributors desire to
continue their gifts, Notwithstanding
the present position, they may be as
sured that their contributions will be
Expended sooner or later to great ad-
vantage, since in any event relief in
many forms will doubtless be required
after the war
g. Finally I wish for myself and my
colleagues of the Administration OF
the Commission to express my sim
I cere appreciation OF all the untiring
faithful and truly beautiful work you
have done as organizers and mana.

ditions resulting from this gratifying
action OF our Government, but we
outline below, i'm a few paragraphs
answers to certain general questions
that may arise.
1. It will be noted that Sl2500 600
per month is much less than the
amount which we have stated as
necessary to supply the imports re-
quired for the limited ration we have
endeaVored to provide. The eXplana-
ton lies in that this amount will now
cover all Of the foodstuffs that we
can hope to ship owing TO the recent
swiftly developed shortage OF the
worlds shipping. Our statements In
regard to the amount necessary nave
been correct and the balance between
the $12.500 600 and the former esti-
mate required to give the limited ra-
ton will now OF necessity be supplied
by encroaching upon the country s
stock Of milk cattle which had Deen
reserved to maintain a supply OF fresh
milk for the children and to serve as
a nucleus from which to re-stock the
country after the war. The importa-
ton of meat, particularly fats, has
always been one OF the most eXpen-
sive items I'm our programme.
2. It must be clearly understood
that the Commission for Relief in Bel
gium will continue 10 assume the en-
tire charge Of purchasing and trans
porting all food into Belgium and
Northern France The Commission
also will continue to be the only fully
regularized vehicle by which money,
food and clothing can be sent into
Belgium
3. The Commercial Exchange De-
partment will continue as heretofore

From the New York Tribune.
You can make new international
alliances on paper overnight, but per
suading the rank and file Of two ma
tions to love one another is quite an
other story. There are conflicting re-
ports out of Europe as to the ability
Of Tommies and poilus to chum to-
gether. OF basic good will and mu-
tual admiration there is plenty. The
rub comes when you try to progress
from good will to good fellowship
There are temperamental differences
between Briton and Gsul which, SUI
peradded to the great divide OF Ian.
guage, make fairly difficult obstacle.
How will our American soldiers fit
into the mingled scheme OF things
on the Western front? 1t will be in
teresting to watch and see. Such an
I item as the baseball season under
the shadow of Vimy Ridge suggests
that they may do very well. The vic
torious team OF the I'd Canadian Brig
ade ought to find a worthy rival
culled from General >Pershing's men.
There is nothing like a field of sport
to knock good will and friendship
into men. Certainly the British Co
lonials and our Americans will start
with a certain similarity Of outlook
which should make them fast friends
before many innings. either In the
trenches or on the Vimy diamond
Friendship wish the poilu will be
slower matter to develop. But there
is a certain underlying sympathy be-
tween Americans and Frenchmen
, upon which much may be built. This
nternationalization of the European
! fighting on the Allies side opens a
wide field for the future. 1t suggests
the possibility of new comprehen-
sion between the nations based not
on a windy and vague idealism. but
upon the only sound basis for friend
ship, work and play side by side We
Americans can learn much from our
allies. Perhaps they can learn some
thing-the spit ball, at any rate
from us Who can say just how much
of the future harvest of peace for.the
world may find its real seed time be

nR CHARLES A. WAGNER retired yesterday from

He has become superintendent Of the public schools

were willing to pay him larger salary for man
aging the schools OF that comparatively small city
than Delaware was willing to pay him for managing
and building up the educational system Of entire

Another for his retirement that he had
been criticized and harassed by certain educational re-
aotonaries in the rural districts who objected to up
to-dato and progressive methods in dealing with
archaic educational conditions which existed in Ger
tain OF those distics.
Once Delaware has lost a high-minded, capable

do think that any fair-mnded Delawarean should
criticize him for having gone to profitable and
appreciative field.
During four years OF service in Delaware he did
good work and than earned the money he received
for doing it, He has left his beneficial impress upon
the schools OF our State. We feel sure the people Of
Chester will be well satisfied with him when he has OBJ
tanned firm grip upon the educational situation up
there and applied his progressive ideas TO conditions
