FOREIGNERS SENDING
VAST RELIEF HOME
Over 80 Per Cent of Food Drafts
Sent to Europe Gifts From
Immigrant Population.

part as unskilled laborers, living from
hand to mouth, the foreign-born ele-
ment in the United States Is contribut-
ing largely to the funds for food sup.

their native lands.
Figures from the Food Draft section
of the American Relief Administration
show that $593, ITO had abeen sent to
Poland, up to the end Of November.
S15s,17O had been sent to Czecho
Slovakia, Hungary had received $780,
76O, Germany had s1,44S,e19 and Aus
tria $2,046,72O. It was estimated that
more than 30 per cent of this money
had been spent by nationals Of these
various countries who are now In, the
United States. There are about 1900
900 Poles, 100000 Hungarians. 100000
Czechs and 100000 Slovaks in this
country.
The profits which resulted from the
sale Of these food drafts have been
turned into the fund for general child
feeding. 1t is to bring this fund up to
the point where it can meet the de-
mands on it, to save the lives Of $780,

pany brings home to all observers the
possibilities that lie in the electrical
tion of the whole system vest of the
Twin Cities when the power project

this is one of the reasons why the
Mobridge site is to be preferred abov
others. This may appeal to some as
q strong argument in favor of the
state investing $40. 600, 600 in q
power plant at Mohridge. We can
see how it might benefit the Milwau

the tax payers who must foot the
bill? If such a project is to be Uni.
d.rtaken the plant should be located
with view to accomm odating the

than for accommodating a railroad

j. r. Howard. president of the

insirted that the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN must be so amended 'that we

to advocate anything that is radical
or .bolshevistic in theory or practice,

tions to render US that service which
we as farmers must have and which
the interest Of the American people
demand that we do have, there is but
one thing for US to do and that is to
organize our own agricultural banking
institutions.
Just what an organization of farm

best estimates possible the various
districts of the federal reserve bank
have rediscounted farmers notes du-
ring the year 1920 to the amount of
nearly two billion dollars. In 1919
the amount as estimated was only
7l9, 266, 900. This does not include
loans made to member banks on com.

What more could Farmers bank
do? The trouble with financial condi
tions is that business is stagnant.
The currency, which is sufficient in
quantity. is not circulating. A farm
ers' bank, like any other bank, would
be simply an intermediary between
the depositor and the borrower. Mon

than it flows IN, 80 from whence
would Mr.. Howard's banks get the
inflow when every farmer wants to

Ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the desperate situation re-
garding child life may be met. In
every town and community Of the ma
tion. 1t is planned. local committees,
representing all the cooperating agen-
cies will be formed to secure the Vi
tally necessary funds. OF the amount
sought, $23.O0O,0O0 will be used for
basic food and S10,0OO.Oo0 for medical
service.
81 For every one Of these American
dollars the local governments and
communities aided will furnish two
dollars, in the form of transportation,
labor, guards. clerical help, cash con-
tributions and such food supplies as
are locally obtainable. No children,
receive the free food except after!
medical tests showing them to be seri-
ously undernourished. The remaining
$lO,0O0,OO0 of the fund Is Just as
urgently needed for medical service to:
the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies in
the raising of the child saving fund.
1t will, with the inspecting forces of
eight great agencies, keep a constant
eye &C ths administration of Amer.
ica's merclful gift, in order that there
shall be no wastage and no tendency
toward pauperizatlon.
"This Is the largest cooperative be-.
nevolent organization ever attempted:
in the United States" Mr.. Hoover
says. 'The organizations represented
have come to the unanimous, though.
independently formed conclusion, that;
nothing but prompt and united action
by the whole American people can:
avert incredible tragedy for the help,
less children involved. The organiza-
tions forming the Council will organ;
ize their representatives in every
town and community Of the nation
for the raising Of the necessary funds"
