Strong Appeal for Near East Sufferers. ^Columbia, Dec. 20.-E. 0. Black, treasurer of the Near East Relief, has received from Henry Morganthau former ambassador to Turkey, a tele gram telling of the deplorable con ditions now existing in the Near East and making an earnest plea to the people of the United States not to .-?bandon the little orphans who are now heing taken care of by the con tributions of the people of this coun try. "America won the admiration and gratitude of the Near East by disin terested altruism and philanthropy -during the past four years. Peace and order have not been restored. These people are still helpless. Their land "has again been the battleground of contending forces. Their efforts to maintain independence have partial ly failed owing to the superior force of the neighbors. "Large number of refugees have .been dispossessed of their temporary homes. Recent cables state that the .roads, leading to the various places of safety are crowded with refugees. A hard winter has begun. The snow is knee deep in many places. These helpless refugees are again thrown on our mercy. Unless we heed their cry they will perish this winter by she thousands. "The situation is today worse than it was last year. The Near East Re lief is the only organization whose dEunds are used for this work. Hun dreds of thousands of these people ?are Irving today who would have per ished had it not been for American xelief. Large number of orphans now in the more than two hundred or phanages maintained by the Nea East Itelief are totally dependent upon the Near East Relief for the simplest ne cessities of life. They must now be left to perish after being rescued by us. No matter where these people are or which faction claims the right to govern them the refugees are home less orphans and helpless. Their faees .are turned towards us in despair and ?expectancy. They are the Tiny Tims of the Holiday season." All contributions should be sent to E. 0. Black,. Treasurer, Near East. Belief, No. 211 Liberty National Bank Building, Columbia, S. C. Normal Buying is Now Needed Public refusal to buy has been car afied to a point of false economy, and normal buying must be resumed to prevent a possible combination of high prices and low wages and unem ployment, was declared by Roger H. Williams, vice-president of the Na ? tional Bank of Commerce in New York, in a recent address at the -eighth annual meeting of the! Con verts Association at the Biltmore in New York. Speaking further along this line of normal buying Mr. Wil liams said: ""To my mind there is no greater service that can be rendered today to business and to the public than to re establish a normal volume of buying. And to do this it seems to me busi ness and the public must come to an understanding. It is through the pro .cess of business, either directly or .indirectly, that most of the so-called .good things of life are accumulated 'which we all share, or try to. Unless business is being done, unless there as a fair distribution of activity, "?here can be no prosperity to divide, either between employer or employe, business man or consumer. "flt is no time to preach thrifti ness now, but it is a time to place emphasis on the need for san'ty in , buying. It is not thrifty to stop buy ing altogether any more than it is thrifty to consume all of our current production without consideration of the future. That is a wasteful way of .doing business. It means extrava .gaat production costs and waste of materials in the boom period, and in the period of depression it means de- * teridration of goods not consumed. In both periods, therefore ,it means great waste of human endeavor-and in the last analysis, the public pays .the bill. ''''There axe a number of more di rrect and obvious ways in which this Testraint of buying is inflicting in Jury. With goods flooding back on '?heir hands, producers and distribu ors have had to make abrupt curtail ments of their activities, resulting in unemployment and in many direc tions in drastic wage cuts. Not only are manufacturers and distributors injured, but misfortune visits the i working class with its resultant dis- ? content and unsettlement. But the ill effects of the movement do not stop. e\cn here. A recession in buying car- ' ried too far, and producing too great a stagnation in production and distri bution, may result in a secondary era , of shortage and rebound in prices ?without an increase in real wages to neet it..;'The result would be that ?&e pressure of the high cost of liv ing on family economy, instead of following the course of amelioration that has set in, would again become onerous. "Is there not a great threat in-the present situation of such unfortunate results as these? Is not the recession in public buying forcing industry into too great a curtailment of produc tion? Will not, in other "??"ords, the public pay a greater price for its false economy thai, if it maintained a more temperate attitude, both as to buying in flush times and as to ab stention from buying in a time such as the present? Is it not true ?hat any economic force which develops suf ficient intensit yto injure a consider able part of the public works injury in ultimate effect to the body politic as a whole? All must pay a part of the cost.-Augusta Chronicle Good Advice.
