Tired.

No matter how hard up" you may
feel, you are rich in comparison with
the starving peoples OF China and
Armenia. You know that you can
easily help fill few plates on the big
relief table Fifteen thousand people
are dying in the Chinese famine dis.
trict. But for the accident that you were
born on this side OF the globe, one OF
them might have been you--Weston
Leader
Well said. But for the fortune OF
birth in favored zone, one Of them
might have been you, or yours. The
American public is tired of drives--so
ii is often said-but II viii be yet more
tired before famine gives way 10
plenty, death to life, or chance for
life, and chaos to order, in less for,
tunate parts of the world.
Tired? OF course everybody is tired
But others are even more tired OF
hunger, destitution, disease, and all the
horrors that go with famine and de-
struction. Being tired Is no excuse
for closing either ears or pockets to
the cries and needs Of helpless people,
Morning oregonisn.
