Drive ON FAMINE
OPENED BY HOOVER
Declares Victory for U. S. in
ChIdren's Hearts Is
Greatest Hope.

BOSTON, December 3 (by the Asso.
dated Press).-'I would rather have
the American flag implanted in the
hearts Of the children Of Europe than
flying over any citadel of victory"
said Herbert Hoover today in present
ing to gathering Of business men
and women here the obligation upon
this country to supply the needs Of
three and a half millions Of youthful
sufferers by the war in eastern and
central Europe. The occasion marked
the formal opening in New England
Of the nation wide campaign for
$4,000, 600. which, it is estimated, will
be required to keep the children alive
until the next harvest.
These are children Of friend md
enemy, OF Jew and Gentle, Of Catho-
lie and Protestant" said Mr. Hoover.
NO matter what conflict there may
pc az 70 our Views on our interna-
ttonsl relationships. this mass OF chill
dren Is no part of our contentious.
=. The war collapsed among both al
lies and enemy in the face Of the
greatest famine in 200 years. The
FOOD supply for all that 7oa, o0o. zoo
people east Of the old western front
was largely exhausted BY poor crops
and destruction.
There is in this children's problem
q great moral issue. We are today
feeding enemy as we'll as friend. We
are today replacing hate in the minds
OF this next generation. With the
completion of this final effort we
shall have given to American charity
lift in pride Of a great duty well
DONE pride in q practical helpful
ness that Distinguishes our people.
We shall have given to Europe her
foothold back to life again.
These children are the obligation
OF every man and woman who has a
penny more than his own children and
his neiShbors' children require. Twen.

basis OF civilization in Europe. II We
are to preserve the foundations of So

farmers for congressional relief will
be watched with interest, representa-
tives of non-agricultura1 districts
say, but not with particular enthu-
s1asm. These congressman from in
dustrlal centers protest that every
time the farmer gets into a tight
place he runs to Uncle Sam for re-
hef, while the wage and salary earn

AS long ago as last June the re-
publican party leaders foresaw this
approaching Macedonian cry for help
from the farmers and after a fashion
sought to discount 1t.

The republican national platform,
which is the charter by which the
dominant party is supposed to operate
in legislation. had this to say:
The crux Of the present agricul.
tural condition lies in prices, labor
and credit" This followed the open
Ing statement that the farmer is the
backbone OF the nation" by way Of
compliment and assurance OF cof,tfn.
ued high esteem. The platform then
went on to tell how the Republican
party believes this condition can be
improved" to wit, as follows:
BY practical and adequate farm
representation in the appointment OF
government officials ana commissions
The right to form cooperative as.
sociations for marketing their prod .
ucts and protection against discrimi-

The scientific study Of agricultural
prices and farm product costs at home
and abroad, with view to reducing

Of such reports.
"A national inquiry on the co-ordi.

At the meeting yesterday afternoon
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska told
the conference he planned to introduce
measures making available the pronts
Of the federal reserve banks. amount
ing to about 10000. 900. for loans to
agricultural interests. Gov. Harding.
with whom the Nebraska senator con-
ferred, issued q statement saying that
neither he nor the board had taken any
stand on the proposition. He declared
he had criticised Senator Hitchcock
plan, but that the matter was one not
within the province Of the board, as 1t
concerns the use Of funds which the law
required should be paid into the treas
ury.
Legislation extending billion-dollar
credit to Germany was advocated De-
fore the Joint committee by J. J. Brauer
OF New York, who claimed to represent
the German government.
Representative Campbell Of KanaRs
suggested that profits of the Grain Cor
pOration. about 500. oo0. 900. be made
available for loans to farmers.
Eugene Meyer, r.. former head Of the
War Finance Corporation. told the Joint
committee that the act creating the
War Finance Corporation was passed
four months after the armistice and
intended by Congress- to bridge over the
situation by financing exports until
normal economic conditions were re-
stored. He said conditions now were
those which Congress had in mind in
enActing the measure, and that restora-
ton Of the corporation would have q
tremendous stabilizing effect.
Opposition to the ''revamping" Of war
time government agencies for peace
time operation was expressed in a
statement by Senator Edge, representa-
tive Of New Jersey. He was anxious,
he said. to help the farmers and other
classes equally. but added that con-
sumers were tired OF high prices.
