Hoover Asks Help
For the Destitute
Children Overseas
Tells Brooklyn Club Ameri-
cans Are Obligated to
Aid Europeans After Pro-
viding for Own Fami les

Herbert Hoover last night presented
the case of the child in Europe to the
Hamilton Club of Brooklyn. He spoke
o. the 100000 destitute children over
seas as the first obligation of every
American man, after he provided for
his neighbor. He said he would like
to undertake the entire burden him
self, but it was too much for any one
man to do.
1t was not too much, Mr.. Hoover in
sisted, for the American people, now
spending daily for luxuries more than
the $33 100000 required to tide the
continent over to the next harvest,
when the great need would cease. He
held this conviction with full knowl-
edge of changing industrial conditions.
We sensed impending difficulties, y
Mr.. Hoover said, "threc months ego
when the downward curve began in our
economic fortunes. BY November the
organizations engaged in European re-
lief foresaw bankruptcy by January
1t was then that l consented to do this
work, because | knew that unless Amer
lean assistance continued it would be
necessary to turn 100000 children
into the streets in midwinter.
The call for help this time must
be three times the burden that it was
three years ago, and only the utmost
emergency warrants it,"
This emergency, Mr.. Hoover said,
was the fact that in fourteen coun-
tries of Europe 100000 children were
utterly dependent upon the food, cloth
ing, shelter and medical care they were
getting in 1900 institutions under
the american flag. The next harvest
would reduce the need by so per cent
and as proof that American relief was
not building up paup erization, support
had been withdrawn from six countries
where conditions had improved he said
Their governments were told that the
children were the first mortgage on
the economic life.
Ten dollars for each child until the
next harvest" Mr. Hoover announced
as the essential. "Srrely the price of
ch Id is more than $40. This is the
one remaining paragraph for us to
write, as the one nation which has
written n the war chapter in the
saving Of human life. The whole chap
ter will be smirched if we abandon it

into the editorial departmental least,
that is the only way I can account for
it. Calling Help in the farmers
cause, it says: "A policy Of helping the
some time beneficiaries of the war
would involve fully half the people
in the country. And who would ue-
fray this great work of mercy? The
other half, of course, the half that had
made nothing out of the war, that had
given, then, rather than taken. They
again, as before, would pay" Now, If
this half had made nothing out of the
war, where would they get the where
withal to pay the farmers? One half
the people sells produce, the other half
buys. The same as taking dollars out
of one pocket and putting them into
another. We see it in Russia, where
the peasant raises crops and receives
paper in exchange. Would the Ameri-
can farmer be satisfied with paper, If
he couldn't exchange the paper for the
manufactured goods he requires? Did
not everyone except land spectators
and other gamblers work during the
war? Does the Sun mean to hint that
these latter are the half that should
pay? Perish the thought. No, the
whole thing slipped sideways.

Coal OIL Johnnies.

The Usage Indians have more COM
mon sense than any other race in North
or South America that is purely ac-
cidental. 1t was quite unforeseen by
their forefathers, but in negotiating
for peace with our enlightened and
civilized government they bargained
that the land should be tribal pos
session and that no individual Indian
should own land to the exclusion OF
other Indians of their tribe. AS re-
suit. says the New York Globe, every
time the clock ticks Sill % is
dropped into the treasury of the Usage
Indians. The income of that tribe for
the first six months of 1920 was SILL
600, obs. 46, which divided among the
1920 units of the tribe gives each one
S43.S2 per day." What did it? Oil.
Do YOU know that If every person in
the United States worked in his proper
sphere under the above system each Ia
borer would receive $125 per day in
gold as wages? This has been mathe-
matically demonstrated by Judge Cool
idge of Chicago. Suppose those In
dams worked intelligently, their In
come would be CORRESPONDENCE in
