Fear for democratic future in
the small countries of Europe was
expressed by Doctor Frederick "A.
Schilling in a public statement to-
day. When the children of a ma
ton like Belgian" he said, "are
starving on diet that scarcely salts
flies one-third of their little bodies
needs, and when they are falling
prey to all manner of diseases and
sickness, cannot put down my
fear as to what kind of adults they
will grow into, if they are so fortu-
nate as to be able to live through
this Starvation period at all"
Doctor Schilling, who is cooperat-
ing with the National Committee on
Food for the Small Democracies, was
being interviewed on the subject of
a report just received from the tech
nical advisor to the Belgian govern
ment-in-exile in London, England,
on food conditions in the occupied
country. Asked whether the effects
of the small Belgian rations work
ed equal hardships upon all persons
in the nation, he replied that the sit
uation among the growing children
was most critical of all. 1.-THE
adults" he replied, ,"are showing
great loss of body weight and Sys-
tematic diSintegration is also shown
by hospital reports of blood tests and
disease increase.
ut is the young children and boys
and girls, however, whose plight is
the most tragic. These little ones
are at the period of their lives when
they should be making their great
est growth and body development. It
is in these early fears that they are
laying the physical foundation for
the life before them. And instead
of the normal development which
would be expected, We find that the
growth rate has fallen in more than
eight-tenthS of the children. They
are all losing weight, as much some
times as thirteen pounds in four
month period. This is a third of
a grown boys full healthy weight.
Increase in disease was pointed
odt as the most serious medical re-
suit of lowered physical resistance.
Among the youngest children, Doc
tor Schilling asserted, the new phys
ical weakness has brought about a
startling increase in respiratory di-
sease. Many of the little boys and
girls find themselves with colds and
similar infections which rapidly de-
yelop into a severe brocho-pneu-
monia. Often it results in death.
Sat the same time" he continued,
there is great increase in tuber-
lclllosis, particularly among the ado
lescent youth over fourteen years of
age. Not only is this more prevalent |
than ever before, but the disease has
even taken on a new form in Bel
gium, according to the latest medi- |
cal reports" The disease today, it |
was explained is of more rapid de- |
Velopment than the customary slow |
forms of tuberculosis, with the lesion |
taking new form in both the lung |
and bronchial passages.
Political considerations, it was |
pointed out, play a role in the ra-
tioning system. While extra ra-
tions for the family can be obtained |
If the adults will work in factories |
or industrial plants contributing to |
the war effort of the occupying Ger
man army, Every few of them are
accepting such jobs" The difficulty

In 1871, after Pixies personal eff
