 TERRIBLE POVERTY
 IF JEWS |NEUROPE

The terrible poverty and suffering that prevails among the Jews of east ern Europe, where 6,000,000 of them have been left destitute by the war, and the need for relief work there, are exemplified by a letter which has re- gently come into the hands of the American Jewish Relief committee.
 This letter was written by Chane Bader of Rosdolby Lemberg, Galicia, to her father Markus Bader, of 95 Or chard street. New York City. Four of the eight children Of the family to which she belongs have already starved to death and her mother is i'll. as she writes. Her father has now sent the

few knew bis native state when Wood for-President talk first began to en- gage the attention of eople. Kansas was talking Wood for President before the war ended. The writer, early last spring while making a business trip over considerable section of Okla homa heard no Republican express political sentiments without adding the hope that Leonard Wood would be the Presidential nominee.
 The persecution of Wood by the na- tional administration, notoriously pa cific and against preparedness; the story that Secretary Baker. soon after his entrance into the cabinet called General Wood in and rebuked him for his Plattsburb officers training ac- tivities-these things called attention to the general only as being the anti thesis of Wilsonisn as any man in the nation and is therefore the man to succeed Wilson.

 Here is the letter:
 ' August 21. 1919.

 The mother has added a postscript to her daughters letter:

 NEW YORK, Feb. 5-AlthouSh the foreign exchange situation as applied to London and Paris showed moderate improvement today. the stock market continued under incesSant pressure On renewed selling for both accounts.
 The recovery in internati tional credits was nullified as a market factor by greater firmness of money, call loans advancing from the high renewal rate of 17 to 20 per cent. with stronger tendencies for bank acceptances and commercial paper.
 Many stocks, including United States steel, which fell to fraction under par, were lower by one to three points from yesterdays extreme re- actions, losses applying in almost equal measure to high grade and minor issues.
 Sales amounted to 1,275,000 shares.
 In connection with the anomalous exchange situation there was much dis cusSion in financial circles at the ef- feet already produced in the import ant commodity markets. It is gen. orally agreed that further attrition of prices of cereals, provisions and cot ton offer the best and safest cure for adjustment of international credits
 New low prices were made by Lib erty and Victory issues, despite Comp troller Williams statement instruct ing bank examiners not to mark down prices of those securities held by na- tfonaI banks.

at time when prices were the high
est. business most active and con-
sequently credit in the greatest de
mand. 1t is comparatively easy to
reduce loans in normal times, but
now a miss-step might wreck the
whole machinery. Bankers from
coast to cosst decided to make no
more losns for nOn-essentials. for
speculative purposes or for the pur-
chase of land. The first result was
the discovery that there was no
shortage of merchandise, or at least
very little. SpeculatOI being un-
able to renew their loans were for
ced to throw on the people the con-
tents of great warehouses consist
Ing of silks cotton goods, wooden
goods. coffee, sugar and almost ev-
cry other commodity. 1t also devel-
Oped that large department stores
and retailers generally were carry
ing heavy stocks of merchandise,
and consequently were not j posi-
tion to buy even at reduced prices
The result is that many large factor
les closed down, and hundreds Of
thousands of men were thrown ont
Of employmet.
Briefly stated, our troubles are
caused by initiation OF bank credit,
initiation of currency, initiation of
prices and initiation of labor. In
other words, the banks have loaned
too much bank credit, the Federal
Reserve banks have issued too
many Reserve notes, prices have
been advanced beyond their real
value, and the laborer receives more
than he earns.
The remedy is simple: Every 10y
al citizen should reduce his indebt-
edness as rapidly as possible with.
out incurring too heavy loss. This
will correct two of the evils. Inven-
tories should be reduced and mer-
chandise sold at it's value. regard
less of whether it yields profit or
not. The laborer will have to speed
up to the pre-war gait or suffer a
substantial reduction in his wages.
There is no possible way that the
readjustment can be avoided. We
have had the good time, we have
spent the money. and now we must
pay. Just how long it will require
to get back to "normalcy" depends
entirely upon ourselves Ii we will
only forget the race for gain, for the

Lamar Banker Gives His
Version OF Present State of Affairs.

c. NJ. Lee president OF the Lamar
National Bank at Lamar, recently
presented the following paper on
.ne present financial ce,lditiOr OF
the country:
Before the world war, each of US
Was following his own vocation in
peace and contentment. Cost of liv-
ing was moderate, wages were fair
and there was employment for all
After Europe became involved in
war, prices ON all commodities ad.
sanced rapidly, business became
very active and we were on the road
to prosperity. When our govern
ment declared war. our citizens were
greatly shocked for time. This
was followed by great industry on
the part Of the people Elderly
people. who thought their working
days were over, took to the fields
again. The young men worked with
u will. Our wives and daughters
many of whom were unaccustomed
to hard work. devoted long hours,
usually without pay. in the service
of our country. There was a union
OF purpose, which probably has new
or been equalled before in Ameri-
can history. Patriotism of the high.
est order was universal throughout
the land. The amount of wages was
a secondary matter Rigid econo-
my was practiced by all in order
that we might better serve our be
loved country in her hour of need
fhe men and women saved that
they might be able to pay increas-
ing taxes to help finance the war.
Our young folks denied themselves
and with their savings purchased
Liberty bonds. and the little tots
invested their savings in Thrift
Stamps.
But, after time, it began 70 be
rufnored about that certain unscrup
ulous men were making fortunes out
OF the necessities of war. The re-
ports were later confirmed. that
many unprincipled men had made
vast fortunes while the rest of the
people were Loyalty supporting the
war with their energy and their
means. The arrogance OF these new
ly-rieh and their extravagant waste
of money, provoked jealousy on
the part of our loyal people and
they murmured. one to another.
The laborer then demanded an in.
crease In wages. The manufacturer
Smilingly granted an increase of ten
percent, while he granted himself
a twenty per cent increase in profit.
The middleman then increased his
profit proportionally. and when it
comes to increasing profits. the re,

the new price of merchandise, he

gre OF truth, that tn cost Of living
had increased so much that he
could not live on his Increased pay.
This time he suggested that he
should have an increase of at least
twenty-five percent. This increase
was readily granted by the manu-.
facturer. who was only waiting for
an excuse to increase his own pro
fit again. This cycle of raising prize
es continued, and reminded one of
merry-go-roud except that a mer.
ry-go-round moves rather slowly.
Soon there developed an orgy Of
spending. Young girls began to
wear silk stockings to school. High
school boys owned Fords. and. the
father went to his work in high
priced automobile The whole fam.
lily travelled apparently without ex-
cuse. and crowded the Pullman cars
and high priced hotels The mech
anic and laborer demanded shorter
hours, time and a half, double time,
Saturday half holiday and many
ohter concessions. The more conces-
sions that were granted, the more
restless and the more inefficient he
became. Much Of his time was
spent in going from city to city and
from factory to factory Ten Of
thousands OF men left Detroit for
Pittsburg and they met an equal
number coming from Pittsburg to
Detroit. The mad scramble for mon
ey was on in earnest and there was
profiteering on every hand The
landlord, the merchant, the doctor,
the lawyer ad the others did not ask
themselves what is a fair profit, or
what are my servires reasonably
worth? They simply asked them
selves. How much can get?"
Everybody was doin it. Specula-
tion ran wild. Enormous amounts
of money which was SO quickly and
easily acquired. was invested in
worthless stocks and alleged securi-
ties. People sold their Liberty
Bonds and borrowed all the money
they could get: All he dealers of
every line, big and little, sang the
same song: Buy your goods now,f0r
merchadise is scarce, the price will
advace the first of the month
About the first OF the present year
wise financiers asked: How long
can this fearful waste of money con-
tinue? Another asked: How long
can prices continue to advance?
Another said: Bank reserves are
already too low The people said:
There are three pessimists. This
boom will continue for ten years and
prices will 60 higher than ever.

been called upon to solve many
difficult problems during the war.
