much OF this money rs is needed." Per-
sonally, 1 am confident that with the
assistance and cooperation which
would come from other parts of the
world, the sum of $500, ,00O, 600 from the
United States would be more than
enough to start these countries on their
way to self support and the restora-
tion of normal conditions.
The whole plan of course involves
many practical considerations, the
most serious of which is that Of OBJ
tanning the money, whether by issuing
additional Liberty bonds, an increase
in the floating debt or by taxation. But
/ think we could properly say to the
Treasury Department:
1--WE know how serious your financial
problems are we know the difficulties
which are Immediately confronting
you; we know the Importance of de-
flatiOn, and we know that the govern
ment must economize and that individ-
uals must economize, but we also know
that the American government nd-
vanced $4,000, 100000 to its allies to
attain victory and peace. Certainly 1t
is worth making the additional advance
In order to realize the peace for which
we have already struggled for nothing
is more certain than that until normal
conditions are restored in Europe there
can be no peace"
Above all things, | would say that
whatever action is taken should be
taken Immediately. The crisis is so
acute that the situation does not admit
of delay except with the possibility of
consequences one hardly dares contem-
plate.
The situation that / have spread out
here is far beyond the scope of individ-
ual charity Only by the action Of
governments, our own and the others
whose resources enable them to coop
crate, can aid be given in sufficient
volume. i am also confident that our
action would be followed by the gov
ernments of Great Britain, of Holland,
of the Scandinavian countries, of Spain
and Japan, and that France and Bel
GUM and Italy, Notwithstanding all of
their losses, would help to the best of
their ability

Born in the bleakest portion of
Northern Michigan, DR.. Paul w.
Ivey's early youth was spent in an
environment that produced sturdy vir-
tues and virility. His eight years
of scientific training, receiving at
Lawrence College A. B.. University
of Illinois, M. A, and Univers ty of
Michigan P. D., degrees, have been
utilized in bettering retail business
throughout the middle west and in
building up communities.
In the field of retail merchandising,
DR.. Ivey is known throughout this
country, and abroad for his book,
elements of Retail Salesmanship."
At the present time, DR.. Ivey has
charge of the Merchandi sing, Adver-
tising and Salesmanship classes In the
State University Of Nebraska.
For the past seven summers, he
has been intimately connected with
chautauaua work from the Atlantic,
to the Rocky Mountains, both in the
capacity of lecturer and manager
From this intimate association, with
hundreds of communities, he has ar'
understanding of community problems
that are possessed by few men in
the country. Lecture afternoon of the

2. That Congress call upon the
President to appoint non-political
commission of three Americans, dis
tinguished for their character and ex-
ecutive ability, and commanding the
respect of the American people. Such
commission should include men Of
the type of General Pershing, Mr..
Hoover, or ex-Secretary Lane. l would
invest that commission with complete
power.
3. would have the commission In
structed to proceed at once, accompan-
led by proper personnel to survey con-
ditions in Central and Eastern Europe.
and then act for the restoration Of
those countries under such conditions
and upon such terms as the commits
sion itself may decide to be practica-
BILE and effective. Among the condi-
tiOns should be provided that there
should be no local interference with
the free and untrammeled exercise by
the commission of its own prerogative
of allocating materials. Governmental
politics should be eliminated, unrenson-
able and prejudicial barriers between
the various countries should be re-
moved and sucA substantial guarantees
as may be available should be eXacted
in order that the conditions imposed
should be fulfilled.
A. AS to financial terms, / should
make them liberal. 1 would charge no
interest for the first three years, for
the next three years, 6 per cent, with
provision that such interest might be
funded If the economic conditions of
the country were not approaching nor
NAL, or if its exchange conditions were
so adverse as to make payment unduly
burdensome. | should make the matur-
ity of the obligation fifteen years from
its date and l should have no doubt as
to its final payment.
5. Immediately the plan was
adopted l would have our government
invite other governments in position
to assist to participate in the under
taking.
6. To set forth completely my opin-
ion should add that in the final in
structions the American people
through their government should say
to the commission: I'VE want you to
go and do this job in such n manner
as after study you think it should be
done. This is no ordinary undertak-
ing. The American people trust you
to see that it is d2ne right" would

which roughly. parallels the extent of
these ravaged countries, and that 65,-
100000 of our own people condemned
to idleness by lack of raw material
and whose fields had been devastated
by invasion and rapine, were raclsed
by starvation and pestilence, and if
we had lifted up our voices and in
voked the attention of our brothers
in happier Europe to our own deep
miseries and our cries had fallen on
deaf ears, would we not in our despair
exclaim against their heartlessness?
Only Three Ways to Help Europe.
There are only three ways by which
these stricken lands can secure sup
plies from the outside world. One is
by payment, one by credit, and the
third is by exchange of commodities.
II these peoples tried to buy. materials
and supplies in America at the pres
ent market value Of their currencies,
Austria would have to pay forty times
the original cost, Germany thirteen
times, Greece just double, Czecho- SlO-
vakia fourteen times and Poland fifty
times. These figures are official and
are true index of the economic plight
of these countries.
1t is clear, therefore, that they can
not give us gold for the things they
must have, nor have they either prod
Icts or securities to offer in return
for credit. II only they could obtain
raw material. which these idle millions
OF theirs could convert into manufac-
tured products, they would have some
thing to tender the world in return
for Its raw material. Food and medi-
cine But II they ,bave neither money
nor credit how are they to take this
tirst great step towards redemption?
One-half of the world may not eat
while the other half starves. How
long do you believe the plague Of ty-
phus that is taking a hideous death
toll in Esthonia and Poland and the
Ukraine and eating along the fringes
of Germany and CzechO-Slokavia will
confine itself to these remote lands?
Only last Saturday our health COM
missioner of New York, DIR. Copeland,
sailed for the other side just to meas
ure the danger and take precaution
against such an invasion.
This is one menace at our threshold.
The other more threatening, more ter
rible, is the menace of the worlds ILL
Will We can afford to die, but to be
despised forever as greedy and phar-
isaical nation is fate that we must
not incur.
The French government has many
serious problems to solve, but the
French peasant is working and the
French artisan while still sadly in
need of raw materials, has not lost his
habit of industry and thrift. The most
encouraging fact about France today is
that her people are alive to the seri-
BUSINESS of Frances problem and they
are going forward bravely to solve that
problem.
Italy, despite her great shortage of
raw material, is looking forward and
not backward. Italy can be relied up
ON to do her part.
England is meeting the problems of
reconstruction just as those who knew
her past should have expected her to
meet them.
Plan to Aid Central Europe.
1t is not for me, perhaps, to give in
detail formula for solution of the
worlds ills, but as l have been asked
many times, What would you dO?"

the Black and Adriatic seas.
This area includes the new Baltic
states-Poland, Czech0- -SlOyakia, the
Ukraine, Austria, Hungary, Roumania,
Montenegro, Albania and Serbia.
The reports which come to us make
it clear that in these war-ravaged
lands civilization has broken down.
Disease, bereavement and suffering
are present in practically every house
hold, while food and clothing are in
sufficient to make life tolerable.
Men, women and children are dying
by thousands and over vast once civ
lltzed areas there are to be found nei-
ther medicinal appliances nor medical
skill sufficient to cope with the dew
ustating plaques.
Wholesale starvation is threatened

HOOVER To VISIT
NEW ENGLAND
American Relief Administrations Ef-
forts 10 Feed Starving Children Of
Central Europe

Il lofts 70 fesd Starving Ahiiufen ol
+ Central Europe.
Boston. Nov. 24-Herbert Hoover
chairman Of the American Relief Ad
ministration European Children's
Fund will visit New England early il
December 70 the purpose Of request
/ ing the support Of this section Of the
country to the child feeding program
now IN operation in Central Europe
Unless the American food kitchens
are maintained in Poland, Austria
Hungary. Germany and Czecho-Slo-
vakia, he estimates that 3,500,000
children viii die Of starvation during
the coming winter.
The extent Of malnutrition in Cen
tral Europe is sufficient TO menace an
entire generation. Mr.. Hoover said,
in announcing a few days ago that he
would ask the American people TO
continue their contributions to charity
abroad. Famine theratens the school
children Of Warsaw, Vienna, Buda-
pest, Prague and other large cities.
The Hoover organization is now con-
ducting 5000 food kitchens where i'm
poverished children are receiving one
meal a day. For a few, this meal sup
plements the meager food they receive
{ home. For thousands Of others, it
Is the only food they receive during
the day. No funds are available to
continue the work after January /.
The Hoover kitchens are an impor-
tant adjunct to each school in Vienna
Boys and girls are marched 10 the re-
lief stations and given their daily ra-
ticn under the supervision Of their
school teachers. The food served Is
selected for its caloric value and rep-
resents the maximum of nourishment
While in New England, Mr.. Hoover
viii visit Boston. Portland, Me, and
Manchester, n H. In each city he will
urge assistance for the sufferers a
broad II is estimated that S23,000,-
600 viii be necessary to feed the child
rem until the next harvest. Continu-
ance Of the work after this year is
not expected.
The American Relief Administra-
tion European Children's Fund is en-
gagged only in feeding the starving
children Of central and eastern Burops.
General relief work is fostered how
ever, through the sale Of Food Drafts
in the banks of the United States and
Canada. These drafts are payable in
food at American Relief Warehouses
to stated persons in Europe. Ware
houses are located at Warsaw, Berlin,
Hamburg, Vienna and Prague.
The first food kitchens were opened
shortly after the Armistice with the
anticipation that American support
might be withdrawn with the harvests
of 1920, LEAVING the LEGAL relief com
mittees to carry on the work alone.
Economic rehabilitation has been slow
er than anticipated, and the kitchens
must be maintained for another year,
