Wooten WHAT AMERICA HAS DONE FOR EUROPE'S STARVING MILLIONS i * ? ' ? j In Eight Years Between Four and Five Billion in Foodstuffs Have Been Sent Into Famine-Stricken and War Barren Countries? -Charity Extends Across Europe Into Russia* Thomas li. Dickinson, historian of the Hoover relief committee, tins writ n>n for iiu- Nt u Yvrk Herald <i,.- iiist complete statement of America's Con tribution to relief of Kumpu ? that has ever been m ado. llo says In part : With tha entrance of American fpod Into ltusslu In the fall of 1021 Auier lean relief operations havo traversed the continent of Europe. The span of these operations now covers* eight years. It is not yet possible to give tlnal figures on the mass of American food ?, supplies delivered to ft u rope. The work doue has, however, been of filifih a nntore as to permit a sum mary of operations and a general suggestion of the main expenditures. American food relief operations tae gan In ftelglum lnnnedlntely after the outbreak of the war. Inaugurated as a charitable and administrative un dertaking while America was neutral, American participation broadened after our entrance Into the war, and took upon Itself an official character. Thenceforward and until the signing of the pence, food relief for the allies in Kqropp provided one of the main avenues of American helpfulness in the war. After the war ended Amer ican relief again became a private undertaking and has been so support ed by Individual charity, supplemented by certain governmental grants, to this day. American food relief in Eu rope thus falls Into three periods. First ? The period of our neutrality from August. 11)14, to April, 11)17. During this ponlod the commlssloh for relief In Helglutn was the Instru mentality of relief. Second? The period of American participation from April, 1017, to July, 11)10. During this period the United States food administration was the official -agency of relief. ? Third? The period after the sign ing of the peace, during which the American relief administration has functioned as the agency of relief, with particular reference to the feed ing of undernourished children. Covers Nearly All Countries. During the eight years In which American agencies have been., con cerned In the feeding of Europe, relief operations have extended Into all countries, with the exception of Nor way and Sweden on the north, Spain and I'ortugal on the south, Swft/er lanil and Greece. American relief has been extended to I.elglum as an Innocent victim of the war. to the al lies as colleagues In the war and to friend and foe alike, as well as to the new states of Europe after the close of hostilities. While this work has been carried on under organizations With different*, names, all of them have had a con- ( tinning identity In t'lmt they have been under the direction of one man ? Her bert Hoover? who first Invented In- 1 tenia tlonal food relief on moderfi lines. For purposes of the digest it may be useful to distinguish betweeTi char- j Itnble contributions made Ivv America ' to the feeding of Belgium Throughout j the period of our interest and those ! government gronls from which came the mass of the support. America's charitable , contributions bogon In 1014 and continued to 1920. These were both In rash and In kind, and were collected both by organiza tions affiliated with the commission In the United States and by charitable Individuals, foundations and national periodicals. From various charitable sources there went to Belgium from the United States something like thir ty million dollars ($80,000,000) in this ( form. The exact figures cannot be , given for the reason that certain j donations were of combined British and American origin. Relief In Belgium. Governmental subsidy to Belgium falls Into two periods. In the first period, extending to the spring of 1017. support of Belgian relief canoe from subsidies extended by the treas uries of Great Britain aod France. Together these amounted over the en tire period of five end a half years to something under $200,000,000. Dur ing the second period, which begins with America's entrance lato the war. support of Belgium relief came al most entirely from thei United States treasury. -Tke total Unl|ed States credits to Belgium on this account amounted to $239,682,260. 44. Whllef^he commission for relief In Belgium was extending relief to Bel gium it was at the same time extend ing relief to the occupied regions of northern France. Total private chj>r Ity extended by the United States for the feeding of northern France amounted to $fi,000,000. In addition to this there was ertlendod by the United States treasury to Fmnce for the support of her occupied areas between .Tune, 1917, and March, 1919. the totnl credits of $127,000,000. With Amfrrl^a's entrance Into the war the whole relief front rhsnged The alllos were exhausted, and so far from being able to engage In a pro gram of extended relief themselves they wer* desperately In need of help. ? rfcod relief now been me a oattooa) problem for America, one of the first essentials of victory, -ifor the pur poses of this work the United States f?H> d administration was organised.

While the United States food admin istration eontinuod to- operate after tho armistice and until July, 1010, there 'chine with the armistice a nlg nltlcant change in Us duties and oper ations. With the signing of the ariuln tlce there appeared In. the horizon of Europe an entirely new group of na tions requiring relief. For the handling of these problems there wan organized the American relief administration ns an European adjunct of the food administration. The contributions by America to the liberated tertJ toiUA^UQ^JRuiPPe, were extended through this ' namliTlsf ration between the months of November, 1018, and July. 11)11), that Is, during tho am*' tlye months. In considering thef# contributions and credits k should be remembered that their to* tals are Included In the total* given above covering the operations of the United States food administration during the entire period of Its exist enee. America's contributions under this head were made In several ways. Cer tain contributions were made In the form of treasury grants of credit to small nations which had been allied in the wi^r. The grants to IleJglum have already been mentioned. In ad dition to these, grants of credits were made to Czechoslovakia In tho sum of $50,000,000, Kumaula In the suni of $25,000,000 and to Serbia In the sum of $15,000,000. America's chief contribution of credits to the newer nations of Eu rope was derived from the $100,000, (HX) appropriation for European relief voted by congress early In 1010. The expenditures under this grant were roughly as follows : , In eiudi. case promissory notes were taken from the nation accepting the supplies.

Tli|jrellef of Rulgarla and Germany was done on gold provided by these governments. A large portion of the $100,000,000 fund is covered by the promissory notes of the nntlons to which relief supplies were sent. Prom this fund there came something like $11,000,000, which was expended In the first labors of children's relief inaugurated In Poland, Czechoslovakia, Serbia, Ro mania, Finland, Wsthonia, I^atvia, Lithuania and northwest Russia. The money so expended was nn outright gift, Tl)e total relief supplies delivered by the United States beTween Decem ber 1, 1618, and August 81, 1619, amounted to 2,858,484 toetrlc tons of aft approximate value oi $720,636,820; of this total $196.^74,^0, or 27.6 per cent, was delivered for cash ; $500, or 66.5 p6r cent, financed on credit, ajlA 130,828.^74, or fcfpor cent, was glrap as cljarlty.

At the end of the first year after the signing of the peace ft total of 208, 681.65 had been made available for children's relief in Rurope. To this should be added something ftife $2,000,000 spent by rhn Near East re lief in Armenia. Recapitulating the expenditures for food relief under American manage ment from the end of the war to June 80, 1921, we find that the figures came to about $M),000,000. To this should be added the food draft sales, amounting to $8,289,000. With the summer of 192J American relief entered Its Russian phnse. Re lief was continued on a reduced B^ale In the needy countries of central Eu rope from funds already at hand. ^The expenditures of one year lu Russia will not be less than $30,000, Ofto, and may be mucl^ more.
