RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, a large proportion of the 100000,
900 population of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth of food, clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning Of Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe,
while millions of dollars worth of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross in this stricken portion of Eu-
rope has been used to set up hospitals,
o~rphanages. dispensaries, mobile medi-
cal units and to help in the general re-
construction of devastated areas. Amer
iican tractors and other farming nipple

tural regions where aid has been CIV

all American Red Cross agencies adj

will be able through their W agencies

"FOR COX AND LEAGUE"
New York Post Pledges Support to
Democratic National Ticket

Under the heading "For the League
of Nations and Cox" the New York
Evening Post, one of the great indie
pendent newspapers of the country,
editorially pledges itself full support
to the Democratic nominees on the
national ticket. The Evening Posts
editorial reads:
"The paramount issue in the Presi-
Dental campaign is the treaty of
peace and the League of Nations with
safeguarding reservations. Shall
America keep faith with her partners
in the war ? Shall America join with
them in the only honorable and effec-
tive way of making peace with Ger
many ? Shall America enter heart
and soul upon the work of maintain
ing the peace Of the world as she did
upon the task of winning the war =?
To these questions Governor Cox has
answered yes, and Senator Harding
has answered no. If the Evening Post
during the week that has elapsed
since Governor Cox's speech of ac-
ceptance, has held in allegiance its dec
laration Of choice between the two
candidates, the reason was not that we
were in doubt concerning Governor
Cox's affirmative stand on the treaty
and the League.
eve waited only to see whether
Senator Harding would hold fast to
his policy of negation. Senator
Harding has maintained his no to the
question of Americas honor duty and
ultimate best interests. The issue is
thus clearly joined. The Evening
Post, believing that it speaks for a
great mass of independent American
citizenship. pledges its hearty support
to the Democratic nominees, in whom
it sees embodied the highest aims and
ideals of the American people"
