Show MORE HELP NEEDED. It will be another year at the very latest before the United States will be released from the moral obligation of feeding tho world. It will be impossible impossi-ble for the people of the invaded districts dis-tricts in Europe to help themselves before be-fore a crop can be planted aud harvested. har-vested. In addition to food, these people peo-ple need clothing and shoes, for they have been ruthlessly plundered for four long years, and the work of pillage in some sectors has been completed by the retiring Huns. The war sufferers have no money with which to make purchases, pur-chases, and they must not be allowed to perisli " now that all kinds of supplies can reach them without risk of being destroyed by German submarines. Herbert Her-bert Hoover has gone abroad to arrange ar-range for the distribution of food. As to clothing, it has become apparent that more bundles must be made up by the charitable -people of the United States and shipped to Europe before the worst of the winter weather arrives. The return of peace will not feed and clothe the entente war victims, and it is up to us to give all we can afford, and then sonic. When we supply the wants of these unfortunates we. will be in positing posi-ting to turn our attention to the people of the countries responsible for all this woe anil desolation. The Germans and Turks are now crying for help, which wc know would not have been extended to us had we been on the losing side. Austria is also making pitiful pleas, which seem to have been heard on this side of the water, for we notice that 250,000 tons of foodstuffs will be sent from the United States' to the Austrians in the near future. This is somewhat remarkable, taking all things into consideration. |
