Hunger and Hailed Industry
Chief Enemies Europe Faces
In Great Battle for Suruiual

der and political peace among the
governments of Europe that are be-
ginning to make some headway in
reconstruction.
Help From America.
One bright spot for Americans in
this whole situation is that our
country, despite its political detach-
ment from Europe following the de-
feat of the Versailles treaty, is as
sisting in this economic readtust-
ment with its 5.ooO,000 barrels of
flour. which is now beginning to ar
rive in the hunger centers of Eu-
rope.
The United States may not have
done what ii should or could-that
is a debatable question-but that
America has done and is doing
something removes to a certain de-
gree the sting attached by European
peoples to our strange domestic
politics which brought about our di-
vorce from European affairs.
According to reports to thee for
eign office, the food situation in
Essen and the Industrial districts of
Germany now is very acute and
there is no prospect of much i'm
provement for at least two months.
The bread ration at Essen is only
two pounds a week, while Vienna,
because of the recent railway strike,
is living from hand to mouth.
Raw Materials Promised.
While the allied relief organiza-
tions have been fighting against
famine there are growing indica-
tions that business and banking or
ganizatiohs in England and on the
continent, together with representa-
tiYes of neutral countries. are be-
ginning to get together on a pro-
gram of industrial reconstruction TO
provide raw materials and money
for the resumption of industries
which are now closed.
Announcement was made in Lon
don tonight of the formation of the
Anglo -Danubian Association, backed
by the leading British bankers and
business men. to supply Austria
