Ukraine only those countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficient food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, and even in the Ukraine, with stores accumulated on the farms, there is famine in the large centers of population. Belgium and northern France, as well as Serbia, appear ou the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand in a different relation from the other nations to the people of'the United States. America has for. four years mainiained .the small war rations cof Belgium and northern France and is already making special efforts to care for their increased needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be included 'in this plan, are urgent in the extreme and must have immediate relief. The gratitude of the Belgian nation fur the help America tins extended to .her during the war constitutes the strongest appeal for us'to continue our work there. The moment the German armies withdrew from her soil and she was established once more ih her own after-the-w- ar seat of government the little nation's first thought was to express her gratitude to tlie Commission for Belief i:i Belgium for preserving the lives of millions of her citizens. Germany, on the otlter hand, need not figure in such a map for Americans because there is no present indication that we shall le called on at ail to take thought for the food needs of Germany. Germany probably can cure for her own food problem if slip is given access to shipping and is enabled to distribute food to tlie cities with dense populations, which are the trouble ceniers. England, France, tlie Netherlands and Portugal, nil of which have been jnaintained from American supplies, have sufficient food to meet immediate needs, hut their future presents serious. difficulties. The same is true of Spain and lie northern neutral countries Norway, Sweden and Denmark whose ports have been open and who have been able to draw to some degree upon foreign supplies.
