An Appeal to the American People

•T'HKKK and one-lmlf million children In F.aitern and Central Europe ^ have no alternative to disaster between now and next harvest excpt American aid. For months these most helpless sufferers In the track war have been admitted to American feeding-stations only If tragically undernourished, and have received American medical aid only If desieiately threatened by death from disease. One 5 cent hot American meal today has saved a thousand lives.

Winter Is closing tlown. The money of many nations Is valueless outside th, r own boundaries. Economic and crop conditions make famine, with Its terrible train of diseases, a certain visitor until next harvest. InevItnhlv the helpless children will suffer most. No child can grow to health and sHiiity on the pitiful makeshifts for food with which millions of Eurolieun iultilts must content themselves this winter. It is obvious that the renicl) can come only from outside. AimtIch saved 6.000,000 European children winter before last. Normal recuperation cut the need nearly In half last year, but unusual conditions have resulted In scant shrinkage of child destitution during the twelvemonth Just past. The response of America must now decide whether :l,.->oO,o"0 of these charges, in acute distress, shall begin to be turned away in January from more than 17,000 asylums, hospitals, clinics and feedingstatlons dependent on American support. There would be no tragedy la history so sweeping or so destructive of those who can deserve no evil.

The undersigned organizations, working among every race end creed, many engaged also In other forms of relief, agree unanimously that the plight "f these helpless children should have complete priority la overseas , harlty until the situation Is met. This Is an Issue without pelltkc* and without religious lines. There ran be no danger of pauperisation, for the $28,000,OOP for child food, and the $10,000,000 for medical service that we seek, will relieve only the critical cases. The medical sappllea, of course, must he an unqualified gift, but for every American dollar ueed In child-feeding, the governmenta and communities aided furnish two dollars In the form ef transportation, rent, labor, clerical help, raeb contributions and such food supplies as are locally obtainable

America has not failed Id the past In great heartedness. She has never had a more poignant cell tbae this. Contributions should be tamed over to the lecel committees which are now being formed for tble national collection, or sent to Franklla K. Imne.
