TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR ~ ^ ^ i r SOUTH RESENTS W FAMINE REPORT m BYRNES CALLS~FOR SOURCE OF J mm INFORMATION T President's Appeal for Red Cross Funds for Southern Relief Misrepresents I 1 Hugh W. Roberts in The State. Washington, July 28.?The South quivers under the declaration of the president that it is an impoverished country. ' The South, in other words, rebels. Representative James F. Byrnes \ of South Carolina demands this afternoon of the president that authority for his statement "that a great ? - "f V? o "f 1X7 Q OVO iitJCliUIl Ul UUl tUUIIUJI Ulau nv UA. ~ i wont to think of as immune from such j experiences, is actually menaced with famine and plague." Why does President Harding thus 1 hold up* to the gaze of the world a section which has proved itself to be * able to take care of itself? The president has been imposed on, is the unanimo^jj conclusion. The public health service which first sounded the warning is the "goat." Says Mr. Byrnes in his resolution presented this afternoon: "Whereas, the press on July 26, 1921, published an alleged communication widespread by the president to Mr. Livingstan Farrand, president of the American Red Cross, containing among other things the following statements: 'Recent reports of a distressing condition among tne rural popula, tion in a large section of the cotton belt are confirmed by a public statement from the public health service. They indicate thp.t due to the depressed cotton market many thousands of people are unable to sell their products for money wherewith to obtain a necessary variety of wholesome food, and that ther? is cjrave threat of an epidemic of pellagra. " ;It must bring a shock to the A merican people to realize that a great section of their own country which they are wont to think of as immune from such experiences, \is actually -menaced with famine and plague. For j that is what it would be called if it ' should befall any other country and -we may as well give it its right name.' "Therefore, be it "res61ved that the president be hereby requested to report to the house of representatives for its information, if not incompatible with the public interest, all the | facts within his knowledge, upon j which he based the statements herein above set forth." Southerners in congress declare uh&t while pellagra might be on the increase, there is no famine in the * r i . South, and much less is there starva- t tion. In the senate today, the declaration ; ' # ? ! -3 - ???/?. V 1Ap?o 1TT PAAT*. OI me .president was ncai ucsoi^ *uied. It was admitted there is pellagra. It was admitted there is "hard times" Silt it was denied that there is starva- < tion. It was declared, on the other [ hand, that the president spoke without authority when he pictured the South as a section which could not, in a monetary sense, care for itself. At the same time, there is no ques ' - tlOIl DUt mat peuagra. ijicicaac iw hold. The increase in the number of . cases in Alabama is 600 per cent. The increase in Mississippi is almost as ? great, and in all other Southern states with the exception of Florida it is pronounced. But Southerners keen ly resent the declaration of the president that the South is prostrate and requires the assis* fc.nce of the Red Cross or other " agents engaged in charitable dispen-j sation. The resolution of Representative j Byrnes will not prevail. The Repub- j lican majority know that the presi- j dent, out of the bigness of his heart, j \ spoke too soon, and too unadvisedly,' but they do not intend for any reso-| lution to put the president in the "hole." The State. Washington, July 28.?Regarding South Carolina as a unit,, the presiv dent in his appeal for Red Cross funds made a grievous error. The following is a telegram from Gov. R. A. Cooper addressed to Representatve Byrnes: "There is possibly some increase in ! pellagra cases in this state.

HEALTH OFFICERS MEN FROM SOUTHERN STATES WILL MEET IN WASHINGTON i Senators and Members of House Deny Report of "Semi-Famine" and Epidemic in South | Washington, July 28.?Acting with the approval of President Harding | Surgeon General (Humming of the United States public health service Itodav invited state health officers of i 13 southern states to meet in Washington August 4 to consider the sitiuation in connection with reports of 1 a threatened pellagra epidemic in | parts of the cotton belt. The health officers from these states were asked to meet with public health service officials from Texas, Louisii ana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, | Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky, Fior| ida, North and South Carolina and Virginia. Coincident with the assurance of the ( invitations, Representative Byrnes of Qrm + Vi Pavr>1ino inh'nrliipo^ a rpsnlni j tion requesting the president if not incompatible with public interest to , report to the house all the facts with! in his knowledge on which he based his recent letter to the American Red | Cross in regard to conditions in por| tions of the cotton belt. About the same time, half a dozen Southern senators presented in the. senate denials of reports of a pellagra peril in their states. All read telegrams or newspaper statements j declaring that no shortage of food ! such as necessary to bring about a pellagra epidemic existed in the South. They also denied that there 1 1 - 1- - f j; were an aDnormai numDer 01 cases . .of. pellagra this, summer ..in. the 5ouih. i Surgeon General Cumaiing issued , : the invitations for the Washington j conference after presenting a report I to President Harding in response to | the president's request made? Monday for a survey of the situation as found by the public health service and the Red Cross. j The president in his talk with Cumj ming today is understood to have nolloH tint* Q+tpntinn of thp snrcrpnn I w* v"~ ? general to statements by wealth officer's in the Southern states challenging the authenticity of the public health service reports. Dr. Cumming in reply told the president the reports were based on a careful investigation conducted by the health service and on telegraphic reports from state health officers. These two sources, Dr. Cumming told the president, showed the increase in pellagra cases and conditions told noted by the public health service in its statements. Renresentiitive Bvrnes said he would endeavor to call his resolutions up for consideration within the next few days. The resolution quotes from the letter sent by the president to Dr. Liv ingston Farrand, president of the American Fed Cross, to the effect that reports "indicate that due to 'die depressed cotton market many thousands of people are unable to selh their one product for money wherewith to obtain a necessary variety of wholesome food, and that there is grave threat of an epidemic of pellagra." Mr. Byrnes said, in commenting or his resolution that reports from the health authorities in the South failed to show any such "alarming conditions" as were laicl before the president and that there was a general desire #to know how the information on which the president acted was obtained and from whom. Protests from officials of Florida and Georgia concerning reports of the spread of pellagra in the South were read also in the house. The secretary of the governor of Florida in a telegram to Representative Sears of Florida safd there was "neither nesti lence nor famine in Florida nor any semblance of either." The Georgia health commissioner in a telegram to Representative Wright of Georgia said that the reports he has" received from all sections of the state indicated there was no increase in the cases and many instances showed a decreased number of cases and deaths.
