ter "kick" to Take Notice
What Time 1t Was.

A horse hitched to wagon fell
across the car tracks in front Of a
government building in the national
capital.
In about two minutes the driver, as
sisted by the usual first aids, had un-
buckled a lot Of harness and the horse
was up and on his way. And that
was all there was to 1t except that
When car waited for the track to
be cleared an elderly man person, who
looked as If he considered the world
big mistake, said to a man beside
him:
"Cast your eyes at the windows Of
that office, sir; every one alive with
men and women; If the clerks Of a
department will leave their desks and
fritter away the governments time
over trifling sight like this, what sir,
! ask, must be the state Of our ma
tional conscience?"
The man next had cast up an eye
per request, and chuckled with the
heartiness Of one who sleeps well,
eats three solid meals day, and
treats his wife like a perfect lady.
"Say, friend, you've got it all balled
up. You are so busy looking at the
windows that you overlook the clocks.
Noon means lunch time.''

Poland, one of the new democracies,
was suffering from lack of foods that

Saved From Starvation.
Hoover sent DR.. Vernon Kellogg to
investigate the situation. Kellogg re-
ported poland must have immediate
assistance from the outside world
(Which meant America) if the poorer
inhabitants of the large cities and the
unemployed Workmen and children in
the industrial centerS were saved from
Starvation"
Under normal conditions, Poland is
self-supporting, as regards food, but
four and a half years of war had
brought the nation to desperate straits,
German looters stripped all machines
of copper and betting. Scores of ma
chimes were wantonly destroyed. Tons
of stuff were carried away by the Ger
mans.
In all Poland, with its 100000 peo-
pie, the danger of starvation was a
daily menace from December, when
the peace conference started, until
food from America arrived

1t Is with such nations as Poland
that Hoover has to deal. There was

compensation for American foods dis

terms of millions Of dollars. But mil
lions-in the old war game were mere
pawns in the gigantic enterprise OF
war. And in the first reconstruction
days they had to be viewed from the
same standpoint. The one just meth.
cd, according to the Hoover policy
was to take some kind of security from
the nations benefited by American sup
plies. Each nation had different Sc.
curity, Roumania had oil fields which
formed a basis Of credit If the world
(America) sent food in time. The
world needed oil, and Roumania need
ed food.
In Warsaw there was another kind
Of security the wooden mills, which in
peace times were among the finest In
the world. Factories could not re

were fed. The population was weak

Paris. Backed by $100,00O,0 900 voted
BY congress, Herbert Hoover is here
directing Americas big. part in feed
Ing the famine-threatened nations Of
Europe.
\ But it is not the policy of Mr.. Hoov-
er's commission to give food away to
the peoples now so sorely pressed with
Reconstruction problems. They must
'bay-at once, whenever possible.
When they cannot pay, they are to be
given credit, with security that will
Insure America against total loss.
& Any other policy would mean the
gpauperization Of Europe, and Hoover
has no intention whatever of conduct
ing commission that would quickly
put the millions Of Roumania, Poland,
tnd Serbia. to say nothing Of the en-
semy nations, into mighty bread line.
il With this fundamental policy as the
basis Of conducting gigantic relief
eOmmission, Mr.. Hoover first Of all
needed money and authority to start
the machinery. He had come to Eu-
rope with s5,OOO,OOO apportioned from
President Wilson's contingent funds to
finance such immediate relief work as
was found, upon investigation, to be
absolutely necessary for the salvation
Of Europe's new democracies, the
Czecho-S lovaks, the Poles and Serbs,
and also the Roumanians.
Congress Votes 500, 100000.
When Hoover had had a chance to
look around, he discovered that $5,-
100000 was just about enough to
finance food shipments for one Of these
nations. He did not single out one ma
Hon, however, but ordered cargoes ag-
gregating $15,O0O,O00 rushed from the
United States at once.
i He trusted the American people to
provide the capital needed. And when
he got the first news of the final pas
sage of the $1O0, 900 appropriation
In congress- an expression Of relief
came into his face that had not been
there for weeks.
With small staff, Mr.. Hoover has
