 Un:il called 70 he worlds attention by the interpolation in parliament las; night. i; probably had escaped the notice of people in general that Grelt Britain s;il' retained control Of silver exports. Mir. Samue.. the member of ;he commons xho asked the question of the ministry. also said ,ha; a plan was under way ;o restrict all pur- chases for China 10 q great corpora ton.
 This would remove competition with a vengeance and the natural laws of supply and demand would be laid aside for the benefit of huge silver purchasing trust that would set its own figures. A: present the world price ot silver is settled every day n the back room Of an office in London by a committee of brokers. The Uni :ed States, fortunately for American silver producers. is outside Of the ring and intends to stay out, having fixed the price a: which it will accept fine silver at its mines.
 The Chinese demand has been ar.i- ficiaily kept down. as reading be- tween the lines of Shanghai papers Indicates. and there is reason to be- iieve that the indian bazaars have been ar.ificiai.y controlled in their purchases. too. fer. writing in Ju:y of last year.

3,5OO,0OO CHILDREN
 FACING STARVATION
Vast Relief Effort Launched by Eight Leading American Organ.
 izations to Avert Tragedy.

The most spontaneous as xeil as the largest consolidation of effort in the History of American relief and chariia- bte organizations has grown out of the disaster which threatens 3.500.O0O European children this winier To the headquarters of every agency that dis penses American mercy overseas has come one steady cry for months past :: the children. mos: helpless snd blame Iess sufferers in the track of war. will perish hy the thousands before next harvest unless America saves them. :.
 When Dr. Livingston Fnrrand. chair- man of the Central Committee of the American Red Cross. returned from a recent rip abroad. hls 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 irto 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 Rcl!es Council, with Herbert Hoover as chairman and the whole power of American charitable vfhought and effort behind it, 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. Hubbard, representing the Young Mems Christian Association; Miss Sarah s. Lyon, representing the Young wOmen's Christian Association: Dr. Arthur Brown, representing the Fed eral Council of Churches.
 It is the purpose of the Council to raise 33,0O0.000. in an appeal center ing st the Christmas holidays, to the end that the situation regarding child life may be met. In every town and community of the nation, it Is hoped. local committees. representing all the cooperating agencies viii be formed to secure the vitally necessary funds Of the amount sought. 23,000, GOO will be 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, clcri cal help, cash contributions and such food supplies as are locally obtsiBable. No children receive the free food ex- cept after medical tests showing them to be seriously under-nourisbed. The remaining $1o.000.0O0 of the fund is just ss urgently needed for medical service tc the children.
 The European Relief Council will do much more than effect economies in the raising of the childsaving fund. It will, with the inspecting forces of eight great agencie-, keep . constant eye on the administration of Americas s merciful gift, In order that there shall be no wasfage and ns tendency toward pauperization.
