Pleads for Europe’s Helpless Children

"They are no more my children than yours,” is Herbert Hoover’s homely yet eloquent plea for 3,500,000 European children who face Incredible tragedy this winter unless America comes to their rescue. The funds by which American aid has been feeding millions have run out, and that the work may not stop and thus precipitate what would amount to “a massacre of the Innocents” seven other great American relief organizations have united with Mr. Hoover’s organization under the name of the European Relief Council in a joint appeal for funds. The collaborating agencies are the American Red Cross, the American Friends’ Service Committee, (Quakers), the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the Federal Churches of Christ In' America, the Knights of Columbus, the T. M. C. A and the Y. W. a A.
