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. The
rood administration functioned during
l\\ <? ywarn. from July, 1 U 1 7, to .luly,
1010. I i s vK iii ?*>r\ !???? w.'is the do

Changes In Duties.
? 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.

Help Former Enemies.
The relief of former enemy terri
tories provider! siKM'lal problems. The
relief of Austria \va$ accomplished by
niennfc of a credit of $48,000,000 ex
tended by the- United States to Eng
land, France and Italy- to -cover credits
to Austria from these countries, the
proceeds to be spent In purchase of
relief supplies In America. 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.

tinued by private aetivlfy.
MHIIens for Children.
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.
In a period of eight years America
has contribute fo Europe t>y charity
or credit with certain small cash sales
between $4,000,000,000 and $3,000,
000,000 worth of food stuff a.
