April 6.—(United Press) — Eastern Europe still has a seething mass of nearly 3,000,000 refugees, most'y destitute, surging to and fro over its national frontiers or within i hem as a result of the world war. This at least, is the estimate brought back to London by Percy Alden, a prominent British welfare worker and former member of parliament. after an extended tour in Greece, Tut key. Bulgaria and Serbia. There are over a million Russians in th<> non Russian nations of Europe lie declares, 200,000 of them still beng unemployed and unsettled, Germany has 500,000, France 400,000. Rumania 80.000 and Poland 70.000. The Russian refugee problem is at its worst, however, in China, according lo Alden. There are 70,000 in Manchuria. nearly all of them in a destitute condition. Alden places the number of Greek _ refugees at not less than 1.400,000. of , whom 80,000 are in the Athens nn-l I naeus area. In Mai edonv-. and • > I race, about 11<;,000 families are already established composing a popu l.iihm of ap,>r > imatclv ;;50.Sm) The Greek government ami the Settlement Commission under th" League of Nations are providing for plows, draught animals, seed corn, tn t forage forth., cattle. About it'.OLO families have been set up as lohacco growers. In many instances I ne carpet industry, a very important trade in Asia Minor, is being estab fished mar Athens und other large towns for the primary purpose of ah sorbing the new acquisitions to the populace. Armenia's refugees still number 320,000, although about a million • I her people have been wiped out by massacres, disease and hardships since the war. Most of the 400,000 Bulgarian refugees who migrated during the years l!)031919 have been settled in Bui ar,a. The influx from Thrace and Western Macedonia since 1919 has numbered 220,000, of whom about 150,000 are still unsettled without homes or source of income, accord , ng to Alden. He says it is feared that the action of the Greek government, if it trans-j plants aiother 150,000 Greek refugees from the Islands and the Pelopenesus to Western Macedonia may complete another large exodus of Macedonians who speak the Bulgarian language into Bulgaria. This would complicate a situation which, he asserts, the Bulgarian government already is untide to cope with Alden states that the fate of many hundreds of thousands of these refugees is deplorable. There are 300,000 widows and orphans alone among the Greek refugees. The death rate,' especially among the children, is | extremely high. He says the onlyj charity attempting to deal with the oroblem is the "Save the Children Fund” which is feeding about 40.000.1 Hid the Near East Relief, which distributes a certain amount of clothing. o | U.

| —: - The Service of Creating V.allies Real values are produced by intelligent ialior, rendering a necessary service. When honest, intelligent work creates new wealth by adding to the world’s accumulated values—that is service— the kind of service performed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The stock market is merely an index of values. A nation is no richer in usable wealth because of a prolonged rise in share prices, but when the shares of a corporation rise steadily in price over a period of years, that is an indication that the corporation in question is ably managed to render a needed service to society. Meh grow rich by participation in enterprises which year by year expand through efficient service. Shareholders of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have made money because they put their savings to work creating new values. Customers of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have profited because the combined investment, of the shareholders has enabled the Company to produce more goods and to sell them at lower prices than otherwise would have been possible. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an organization of money, brains, training and efficiency united for service. Throughout its history it has exercised foresight and vision in anticipating the wants of its patrons and by developing methods which satisfy this demand. It has built up a personnel of experienced, trained employes —from the Chairman of the Board of Directors to the tank wagon driver on the rural route or the man who fills your tank at the nearest service station. This great organization is working for you. Efficiency rules in every department, playing a major role in developing newer and more scientific methods, which hold down manufacturing costs and selling prices. No estimate ever has been made of the power of progressive thought in adding new value—real wealth —to that which society already possesses, but such thought, carried into practice for over 35 years has enabled the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to extend the benefits of abundant petroleum products to millions of new users in all walks of life. Yhis is genuine, tangible service. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So. Michigan Avenue, Chicago 3883
