THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM Published Every Evening Except Sunday by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium " Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Seooad-Class Mail Matter.

All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Near East Relief and China Famine Fund "Five million of China's starving are still untouched by relief from any source," says an announcement. 'They will remain untouched unless new relief not at present in sight is brought to them. In plain language, 5,000,000 people, equivalent to 5 per cent of the population of the country, are doomed to die, unless they arc aided from outside sources. 'Thomas W. Lamont, chairman of the American committee for the China Famine Fund, points out that the Chinese government and
people have done their best to look after their
own; foreign countries have given assistance commensurate with their ability, and America has sent all told to the famine area approximately $5,000,000. Yet for every dollar that America has so far sent there is a man, woman or child in North China still starving, desperately attempting to stave off death by devouring the bark of trees, leaves, thistles, even the earth itself. Those who have received help so far are assured of ?. bare subsistance. The bareness of it can be imagined from the fact that the calculation is made on the basis of three cents a day per person until the harvest in June. "The situation presents a challenge to the humane instincts of the American people. Only lack of imagination could explain a failure to respond to such a challenge. At best the tragedy cannot be averted. But it can be mitigated. Relief workers in the famine area have told of the cruel necessity that makes them arbiters of life and death. They must make choice of those whom they can save and those who must be left to die. Saving the strong and the children for
the future rehabilitation of the land and allowing the weak and the aged to die. To extend this hard process of selection to the last 5,000,000 of th destitute is the task that now confronts American philanthropy."
Hopeful Note for Business-is Sounded Many of the leading financiers and trade experts of the United States attended the meeting of the National Foreign Trade council at Cleveland this week, and virtually every speaker sounded a note of optimism. They believe that the turn for the better has arrived, and that industry and business will soon feel the stimulating effect of renewed activity. James A. Ferrell, head of the fifteen steel corporations, said our chief difficulty now is the operation of our machinery for financing foreign trade. Foreign countries, he said, need our products, but lack the capacity to purchase. The
a 1 11 !
increase in the price ot tne American aonar in the currency of other nations has resulted in the depression of our trade, in ' some cases to the i
point of stagnation. "TVia rfi rrinol panes rf tVio lonr-p pint inn unr

foreign trade. Nothing else has happened to us. There was no domestic trouble. Our overseas commerce was suspended by the war and our whole machinery of industry and trade slack
ened accordingly. I
Governor W. P. G. Harding of the federal reserve board believes there is no danger of a general financial trouble in the United States. "The time has come for renewed courage and confidence,." he said. "The present mal-adjust-ment is only temporary. The economic forces are seeking to reconcile themselves, and they will do so. While the country has many problems ahead of it, problems which must be met by legislation,, such as the adjustment of taxation and transportation problems, which are very serious and must be met by eommon sense, we can all take comfort from the thought that we have passed through the worst of our troubles and that the problems ahead of us are all solvable."

And as he was running and carrying the heart of his mother in his two hands, it happened that he stumbled and fell. And as he fell the heart cried out and said: "Have you hurt yourself, my boy?" If ever defeat begins to threaten, if ever friends forsake and fade away, if ever you are left discouraged, failure riddled, hope-wasted, heart-wrenched and self-estranged, do this make the hour mother's hour; live up to her ideals of. you, and her memory or her living presence will keep you courageous, will guide and inspire you as once you guided and inspired her prayers and faith.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" TO A MOTHER GONE AWAY I guess God won't mind if I leave my books and business and things just for a day and come up and talk with you. Mother. You see, I miss you so. It seems such a long time since you told me goodbye. But I never forget you, Mother dear. Over and over again I walk through the happy places in the years where you sprinkled so much of love and beauty. 1 hear your voice and feel the touch of your hands. The warmth of your heart never leaves me. It seems only yesterday that you took me into that little room md knelt with me while you asked me to repeat after you that childhood prayer: "Now I lay me down to sleep!" Remember? How very lonely I get without you. Often I lie through th filent 4ours of the night and imagine that you are not very far away. And it makes me happy. For I try to think that anything I do of unselfishless and usefulness is traceable right to you. I have never found anyone so beautiful or bo gentle or so kind as you were, dear Mother. During the years that have gone by so swiftly, I have always fancied I could be forgiven for being just a little proud when I have done something quite out of the ordinary that would be sure to please you. For you didn't care anything about whether I would ever be rich or not, or famous you just wanted me to be useful and happy. You wanted me to be "a great artist." and you used to show my funny sketches to the neighbors and be so proud of "my boy". Well, you dearest Mother, I tried hard to be an artist, but it didn't go through. But if you will only slip out of Heaven for an hour or so, I will show you the most beautiful pictures I have bought and hung all about me where I work. And I will feast you with books that have thrilled me and inspired me. You liked books so much. And I will show you a couple of boys twins! What a happy Mother of twins you were! The sweetest word in all the language to me is your name Mother. Because you filled it so full of love for me. And now, dear Mother, if you will only come and "tuck me in," and kiss me goodnight, I will "go right to sleep" and dream of you because 1 love you so!

under the following heads. Business 1 establishment, educational expense, health restoration, home purchase, in-
debtedness liquidation, living expends and miscellaneous aids . The money awards have ranged from $300 to $2,000, with bronze and silver medals. One hero received $1,000 to be applied to the liquidation of debts; another received the same amount, which went toward the purchase of a home.
