HOOVER DECLARES PRIVAT e
BENEVOLENCE NEEDED TO SAVE
PEOPLE OF NEAR EAST.

Herbert Hoover has cabled the
American Committee for Relief in the
Near East, through the food admins
tration, Washington, that while the
bulk Of the relief work to be done will
be financed by the countries affected,
through the medium of loans of other
Afovernment assistance, nevertheless
distress and suffering exists in many
acres where payment for relief sup
plies cannot be made. These charity
cases will still urgently need private
benevolence.
'rhis is the situation with regard TO
the Armenians, Syrians and Persians,"
continues Hoover's cablegram. There
is probably no greater suffering today
than among the prosecuted peoples OF
Asia Minor who have no other funds
and cannot secure government loans
and have no other credit.
The world recognition given the
American Committee for Relief in the
Near East follows naturally upon the
proclamations of President Wilson and
the announcements of the Secretary
of State and other high officials, recess
nizing it's work officially and calling
upon the people of the United States
to give generously TO its fund dun in@
Its $50, 100000 drive. The campaign TO
raise Wisconsin's share OF this fund
commences on January q and will
continue to February g.
