the American Relief Administration
and the Joint Distribution Committee,
disbursing organization of the Amer
lean Jewish Relief Committee. At an
other similar kitchen, where the food
is all strictly kosher, the Jewish chill
dren Of the community are able to get
nourishing American food prepared in
compliance with their religious laws.
Not only through such institutions
as these is American help going to
the people in this desolate region. FIRE.
quent distribution trips were made to
remote sections, and food and cloth
ing given to persons whose plight was
the most desperate. And through the
Red Cross field unit at Novogrodek,
food supplies bought and sent into the
country by the Red Cross and the
Jewish Relief Committee were given
to all the needy peasants who came
and asked.
Novogrodek still seems desolate
enough, for there is practically no
trade, no industry, because no raw
materials can be brought into the
country until transportation conditions
are improved. And it is literally true
furthermore that relatively few of
the people are strong enough to do a
days work. That is what undernour-
ishment and exposure has done TO a
once sturdy community.
But to anyone who saw Novogrodek
before the Americans came, and saw
1t gradually "come back" under Amer
lean treatment, the change for the bet
ter is astounding. And it is an in
SEPARATION to all those over there who
are working, with limited resources
and against all manner OF natural OBJ
stacles, to help Poland save her peo-
plc during a critical period. For we
could actually see what was being ac-
complished, and we knew that II was
immensely worth while.
This is simply representative of
what American effort is accomplish
ing all over Poland-at Bereza-Kar-
tuska, at KObryn, at Pinsk, at Brest-
Litowsk, at Baranowicze and other
points in the Department Of the East,
and to the south in Galicia-whereve
the need is found to be Of the greatest.
Particularly noticeable and crafty
ing is the effort Of the American relief
bodies in Poland TO help provide use
full and productive occupation Of the
people. At Kobryn, for instance, they
are specializing on the production Of
children's clothing, using the odds and
ends Of pieces Of material that are
occasionally found in bales Of refugee
clothing from America. For Poland
lacks raw materials.
A sewing establishment for the
needy women Of the community is
rapidly growing, where the native
needlewomen are helped to support
themselves and their families, at the
same time aiding in the problem Of
clothing the school children and or
phans' Of the community, who have
long gone in rags. The Jewish chill
dren are cared for in an orphanage Of
their own, and Jewish women sew for
the needy children Of their own faith.
The workers are paid in clothing and

\ Plank for Democracy

n the political turmoil and hubbub at
l tcndant upon naming Il candidate and
the struggle over platform declarations both
parties are likely to lose sight of really vital
domestic issues. submerging them in others
which are mistakenly termed paramount.
There is one such issue that neither party
can afford to overlook. if it would attract
to itself the sympathetic and active sup
port. not only of so-called big business"
but OF every clear-thinking man and woman
who wishes TO see this country put back
as quickly as possible on a normal basis.
That Issue has TO 90 will, the tenacious
grasp which in recent years the Federal gov
crnment has taken on those affairs OF every
day life with which formerly II did not con-
Germ itself. ana which were left to indi-
vidual or cooperative initiation and devel-
ormcnt. Tho plank suggested 10 meet this
issue is: Get the government out of pri-
vatc business
1t were folly 20 suggest such n plank TO
the convention now assembled in Chicago.
The Republican party is the party Of cen
tralization. the party which would subordi-
nate private business everywhere TO Wash
ington and give the Federal departments
power of control and espionage over every
transaction between individuals or corpora
lions. Much rs it denies it during cam
paign times when votes are precious. its
'rublic-be-damned" attitude is woven too
deeply in its warp and wool TO permit its
Endorsement of such a plank.
With the Democratic party. soon to as
scmble on tho Western coast. it is different.
j. is the party of decentralization, the party
which believes the States are sovereign,
and. continuing logically down the scale.
that private business is really private, and
should remain free from government inter
ference so long as II onducts itself within
the law. 1t is the party which can "gct the
government out of private business" if it
will, and that plank, written into the San
Francisco platform, will do more than any
other to return it triumphant in November.
The tendency toward governmental inter
ference with or control Of what should be
private business began long before the war.
Then, while the war ragged. it became ncccs-
sary in large measure for it's successful
prosecutions. Washington reached out and
placed its grasp upon the nations every
day affairs as il never had done before.
Railroads, shipping, markets, corporations
of every sort. even the corner grocery,
failed TO escape the all-prevailing espionage
and interference. Few complained. because
lit Was the war" But now the war is
ended, and Washington, rather than relax
ing its p%aternal. almost Prussian grasp, still
shows Il determination to retain and to
enlarge the extraordinary powers that the
eNigencies of war gave it. AS n result. bust
ness confidence is shaken, capital is timid,
markets are uncertain, the industries OF the
country lag and the people suffer.

From Other Viewpoints
Farm Boys Tired OF Being Coats.
by ARTHUR CAPPER.

Unless farm problems are considered with
more sympathy by the public generally and
our country may go hungry before many
years.
Farmers have been sandbagged by the dis
graceful agricultural economic system until
the camei's back Is broken; they are leaving
the farms by the tens Of thousands. Already
the abnormal congestion OF the huge centers
Of population is such that we arc having
trouble in feeding the city population. Unless
we aboutfacc quickly in the treatment Of the
agricultural interests OF America. a real food
shortage Will be encountered.
onc-third the population OF the United
States il engaged in agriculture, more than
onc-quattcr OF the national wealth is>inycsted
in farm enterprises.
mittec is of the opinion that tho financial
accds OF the government for the next fiscal
year may exceed $4,000. 900. 600 for all pur-
poses. Yet the agricultural hill appropriates
only S32.0o0,0o0. which means that out OF
every Sl5G OF the public funds only 81 will
be spent ON the nations most vital industry
the one on which every other industry de-
rcnds. And yet we find Senators who would
reduce even this small appropriation, which
is a reduction OF $500 900 from the appro-
priation OF 1919 for agricultural purposes.
We favor the almost economy in govern
mental Expenditures and Il substantial rcduc-
iion in appropriations generally. but at n time
when increased production is OF supreme inn
ihrmef. We can, better afford 10 cut out some
OF the river and harnor. PUBLIC building. and
cripple agricultural activities.
Some indication OF the way in which the
farmers are ge,tinE away from the country
is shown by the United Stats Department OF
Agriculture from a recent survey Of 3.775
farms in New York. 1t was disclosed as q
result OF .his invcstlgation-which covered
so many farms that II certainly is typical-
that there had been a decrease in the number
OF people on tho farms in the last year OF 3
per cent. and that the number of hired men
decreased IL Per cent. II this ratio holds
good for the State-and there ie every reason
to believe that it does-it means thk IS, 900
men have left thot farms in this single state
alone to go to thsScities.
Tho young men of tho farms arc not fools.
