3,5O0,OOO CHILDREN
FACING STARVATION
Vast Relief Effort Launched by
Eight Leading American Organ
izations to Avert Tragedy.

The most spontaneous as well as the
largest consolidation of effort in the
history of American relief and charita-
BILE organizations has grown out Of the
disaster which threatens 100000
European children this winter To the
headquarters of every agency that dis
penses American mercy overseas has
come one steady cry for months past: :
the children, most helpless and blame
less sufferers In the track Of war, will
perish by the thousands before next
harvest unless America saves them!
When DR.. Livingston Farrand, chair
man of the Central Committee of the
American Red Cross, returned from q
recent trip abroad. his report throbbed
with the need of the children. From
the feeding-stations of the American
Relief Administration throughout east
ern and central Europe came letters,
cables, pleas of every sort. The Pro
testant churches sent investigators
into after-war conditions and every
report breathed the impending tragedy
of starving and diseased children.
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish, the
child life Of Europe is threatened with
heartrending misery.
The European Relief Council, with
Herbert Hoover as chairman and the
whole power Of American charitable
thought and effort behind 1t, has been
formed. It consists Of Edgar Rick
ard, representing the American Relief
Administration DR.. Livingston Far
rand, representing the American Red
Cross; Felix Warburg, representing
the Jewish Joint Distribution Commit
tee; Wilbur K Thomas, representing
the American Friends Service Com
mittee; James A. Flaherty, represent
ing the Knights of Columbus; DR.. c.
v. Hibhard, representing the Young
Mems Christian Association; Miss
Sarah 8. Lyon, representing the Young
Women's Christian Association; DR..
Arthur Brown, representing the Fed
eral Council Of Churches.
II is the purpose of the Council to
raise s33,OOOOO0, in an appeal center
ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the situation regarding child
life may be met In every town and
community Of the nation, 1t Is hoped,
local committees, representing all the
cooperating agencies will be formed
to secure the vitality necessary funds.
OF the amount sought, $2S,OOO,OOO will
he used for basic food. For every one
OF these American dollars the local
governments and communities aided
will furnish two dollars, In the form
Of transportation, labor, guards, cleri-
cal help, cash contributions and such
food supplies as are locally obtainable.
No children receive the free food ex-
cept after medical tests showing them
to be seriously under-nourished. The
remaining $10,O0O,000 of the fund is
lust as urgently needed for medical
service to the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies In
the raising Of the childsaving fund.
1t will, with the inspecting forces of
eight great agencie~, keep constant
eve on the administration Of Americas
merciful gift. in order that there shall
be no wastage and NJ tendency toward
pauperization.
