AN APPEAL TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE


in Eastern and Central Europe have
no alternative to disaster between now
and next harvest except American aid.
For months, because the needy were
SO numerous and the available funds
so limited, these most helpless suf-
ferers in the track of war have been
admitted to American feeding-stations
only ii tragically undernourished, and
have received American medical aid
only If desperately threatened by death
from disease.
Winter is closing down. The money
of many nations is valueless outside
their own boundaries. Economic and
crop conditions, aggravated over con-
siderable areas by actual warfare last
summer, make famine, with its ter
rible strain OF disease, certain visitor
until next harvest. Inevitably the help
less children will suffer most. No
child can grow to health and sanity
on the pitiful makeshifts for food with
which millions OF European adults
must content themselves this winter.
1t is obvious that the remedy can come
only from outside.
America saved 100000 European
children winter before last. Normal
recuperation cut the need nearly in
half last year, but unusual conditions
have resulted In scant shrinkage of
child destitution during the twelve
month just past. The response Of
America must now decide whether 81
100000 of these charges, in acute dis
tress, shall begin to be turned away
in January from more than 10000 asy-
lums, hospitals, clinics and feeding
stations dependent on American sup
port. There would be no tragedy in
history so sweeping or SO destructive
of those who can deserve no evil.
The undersigned organizations,
working among every race and creed,
many engaged also in other forms Of
relief. agree unanimously that the
plight Of these helpless children should
have complete priority in overseas
charity untikthe situation is met. This
is an issue without politics and with
out religious lines. There can be no
danger of pauperization, for the $23,-
100000 for child food, and the $780,
100000 for medical service that we
seek, will relieve only the critical
cases. The medical supplies, of course,
must be an unqualified gift, but for
every American dollar used in child
feeding, the governments and commun-
tiles aided furnish two dollars in the
form Of transportation, rent, labor
clerical help, cash contributions and
such food supplies as are locally OBJ
tainable.
America has not failed in the past
in great-heartedness. She has never
had more poignant call than this.
Contributions should be turned over
to the local committees. to State Head
quarters, 710 Walnut St., Des Moines.
Iowa, Lafayette Young, Sr., chairman.
or sent to Franklin X. Lane, Treasurer,
Guaranty Trust Co., New York City.
