Near East Situation Now “Most Desperate in World,” Says Hoover. Herbert Hoover, who has now become a memWw her of the Ex- ' ecutlve C° m ' mlttee of Near East Relief, which Is carIng ror nearly menian and Syrian refu- ® and who, & Underwood. Herbert Hoover. « * ny w speaks with authority when he tells of human suffering, says In a formal statement: “In my opinion, the situation -n the Near East Is the most desperate In the world." Mr. Hoover has sent a letter to Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer ux Near East Relief, 1 Madison avenue, New York, In which he says: “In accepting your Invitation to become a member of the Executive Committee of the Near East committee, I do so with reluctance, but out of a sense of duty towards one of the most difficult situations In Europe. Until some political settlement can be obtained for the Near East and some government established in responsibility for the care and .epatriqtion of the Armenian population In the Caucasus, this mass of people must live sheerly by the chanty of the United States. There are in the Caucasus approximately 1,800,000 Armenians, of whom 800,000 are entirely destitute —refugees from Turkey—and amongst them a tremendous mass of children. “I cannot too strongly urge upon the members of the committee and their supporters the critical necessity of concentrating every possible effort to sup- . port Colonel • Haskell’s administration in the amounts that he requires; otherwise we shall witness ene of the greatest tragedies of the entire war."
