Relief will make TO the country in
February for funds to support its
work among the starving peoples of
that stricken land. To the Wash
ington meeting he wrote:
"Advices and information coming
from the Near East cannot be doubt
ed. There is great actual suffering
and famine. These people, recently
become Independent and released
from bitter thraldom, cannot sup
port themselves. And the Christian
and common instincts of humanity
which have prompted the people Of
the United States during the last
two years to relieve the distress
and needs, especially Of the Near
East, must not be allowed to grow
cold and be diminished.
II hope we shall all unite in this
present emergency and be able to
collect sufficient funds to enable
these peoples to live and work until
next summer brings them perma-
nent relief and subsistence. I call
upon all to respond generously to
the appeal now being made and
trust that the committee will be
gratifed with the results"
