be given to American relief in Europe
to support 3.5OODC children who have,
since tho armietice, been dependent on
American charity, until the children are
secure over the winter.
Here Is All issue in our foreign rela-

religion. 1t Ia just the preservation of
the lives of children. The war has COL
lapsed. among both allies and enemy, In
the face of the greatest famine in 800
years.
To-day there are 3,5oOOoo waits who
live by virtue of the 5000 asylums hos
pitfalls, clinics and canteens, whose doors
would close but for American charity.
At the time of the armistice Americans

France. This system was spread over
Finland, Esthonia, Lativia, Lthuania.
Poland. Germany, Austria, Czecho-
lovakia, Serbia. Roumania, Hungary and
Armenia.
with the harvests of 1919 and 1920 and
the gradual economic recuperation, the
burden has grown less and the harvest
of next summer will greatly tighten the
burden. 1t is not a perpetual charge on
American charity 1t Is an emergency
demand. 1t will cost 100000, about
one dollar per month per child, until
next harvest. For every American dol
lar, another dollar of local support is
provided in equipment and food, together
with vast amount of voluntary service.
