Eight American Relief Agencies Combine to Save 3,500,000 Children Death Menaces. Eight great relief organizations, working among and for every race und creed, have united under the name of the European Relief Council to coordinate child relief In Europe this winter. The Council will seek to provide funds for 3,500,0010 starving and diseased children in Eastern and Central E’urope and to administer this relief economically. It consists of Herbert Hoover, chair man, and Franklin K. Lane, treasurer; Edgar Rickard, representing the American Relief Administration; Dr. Livingston Farrand. representing the American Bed Cross; Felix Warburg representing the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee; WUhur K. Thomas, representing the American Friends' Service Committee (Quakers); James A. Flaherty, representing the Knights of Columbus; Dr. C. V. Hibbard, representing the Young Men’s Christian As soclatlon ; Miss Sarah S. Lyon, representing the Young Women's Christian Association ; Dr. Arthur Brown, representing the Federal Council of Churcli es of Christ In America. It Is the purpose of the Council to raise $33,000,000, In an appeal centering at the Christmas holidays, to the end that the desperate situation regarding child life may be met. In every town and community of the na tlon. It Is planned, local committees, representing all the co-operating agencies will be formed to secure the vitally necessary funds. Of the amount sought, $23,000,000 will be used for basic food and $10,000,000 for medical
service.
For every one of these American dollars the local governments and communities aided will furnish two dollars, In the form of transportation, labor, guards, clerical help, cash contributions and such food supplies us are locally obtainable. No children receive the free food except after medical tests showing them to be seriously undernourished. The remaining $10,000,000 of the fund Is Just as urgently needed for medical service to
the children.
The European Belief Council will do J _ much more than effect economies In | the raising of the child saving fund. | It will, with the Inspecting forces of eight great agencies, keep a constant eye on the administration of America's merciful gift. In order that there shall be no wastage and no tendency toward pauperization. “This is (he largest C0-O|>erntlve benevolent organization ever attempted In the United States,” Hr. Hoover says. "The organizations represented have come to the unanimous, though Independently formed conclusion, that nothing but prompt and united action by the whole American people can avert Incredible tragedy for the helpless children Involved. The organizations forming the Council will organize their representatives In every town uml community of the nation for the raising of the necessary funds.”

This Vienna child Is six years old, but because of the ravages of rickets, the disease bom of under-nutrition that has stricken thousands of European children, she Is able to toddle about only by dint of supreme effort. The spread of this terrible disease of childhood and the rescue of those al ready In Its grip can only be accomplished by America. That Is why eight great American relief nrganlzatlona have handed together under the name of the European Belief Council In a Joint appeal to the American conscience for funds.
