FEEDING GERMANY

A prominent magazine prints the
following:
Since Food Administrator Hoover
announced last week that he was to
sail for Europe to confer with allied
food controllers, there has been a
flood of protest against the idea of
sacrificing here to feed Germany.
While the protests may be valuable as
an expression of the mind of America,
they are premature in assuming that
the Food Administrator was planning
to go to Germany's relief.
Mr.. Hoover has pointed out that
of the 42O,OO0,OOO people of Europe
only about 4O,O0O,OOO in Denmark
Hunary, and South Russia have suffi.
cient food to last until next harvest
Of the remainder, France, England
and Italy account for 125,000,000
Plans for provisioning these three
countries were made when he was ir
Europe last summer. When he re.
turned he showed us that economy
was necessary here to meet the in.
creased burden that the United Stat.
es must assume.
The cessation of hostilities raises
new problems, one of which is feeding
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1918-12-05

the small allies, most of whom have
been under German domination,
which, among other things, means a
pitiless sweeping away of food sup
plies and resources. These include the
Belgians and the equally gallant Ser
bians, the Bohemians, Roumanins,
Slavs and Greeks. These number
about 100000 not counting the
Syrians and Armenians in Asia. All
these victims of kultur must be saved
from famine. The end of the war
has added to our responsibility, to
the extent of a population of rs per
cent as large as our own, besides
making good our pledge to the 1885,
100000 people of the three lare al
lies. Can anyone refuse to economize
food for this purpose?
We see the threat of the red flag
in Holland, Switzerland, and the
Scandinavian countries. Over 49,
100000 neutrals are affected by it
and are becoming menace to world
wide order. Hunger causes it. Lift
ing the embargo sufficient to let them
find relief is matter of deep con-
Germ.
Fifty million people in northern
Russia, on the we're of starvation,
appeal to us for aid. Count up all
these and see for what America is
called upon to economic.
7 Then there is Germany, the coun-
try that has robbed widows and or
phans of food. No word has come
from the allied councils of an attempt
to coddle them But justice requires
that reparation be made to the suf-
ferers.
Anarchy in Germany will defeat
that purpose. Hunger spreads an
archy. Mr.. Hoover's attitude seems
to favor lifting the blockade only
sufficiently that Germany may help
itself to secure food for actual needs.
