THE BARNWELL PEOPLE EaWr«d at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., as second-class matter. r ' t , - ^ JOHN W. MOLMEft 1640-1912 B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, mi. i ip fc The situation in the Near East is so critical and the need for funds to nave, the women and little children. of Armenia from death by" starvation is so great that The People has de cided to open its columns for their re lief. ' For humanity chrushed, enslaved, bleeding, we plead; sxilei wandering:' ih the desert , children orphaned, Christian girls prisoners or slaves in Moslem harems; a stricken nation amidst implacable fogs, its ancestral territory, made sacred by the martyr doms of fifteen centuries,^ seized by others; homes in mins, hopes crushed, lives imperiled. This prostrate Ar menian nation, still the battleground of contending armies for two years after the close of the World War^ its c rops repeatedly ~8tQlen^2^00^0ft~of its citizens massacred or starved to death, begs of prosperous, happy America for food enough to sustain its life till the promise embodied in the terms of the Armistice are fulfill ed. Will you help save the grief- stricken survivors, or* /will you, through indifference, let them die? - j/. America alone can save them. The People will receive and forward to the Near East Relief headquarters, 211 Liberty Bank Building, Columbia, S. C„ all funds' contributed by the people, of Barnwe]! County and will acknowledge receipt of same through Ihe colums of this paper. Deflation has gone as far in this country as is consistent with safety, prudence or sanityIt is neither necessary nor desirable to pufi down all prices at once. It should not be the function of any man or group of men or of government _ta deflate prices. * Prices deflate themselves when the demand is supplied. But there are times of disorganization when a parental hand can restore or der more economically and promptly than the law of. supply and demand. We are not yet through the war c|oud, v and It Is just as much the func tion of the government to help re store ^ balances and business equilib- jftups after the war As it Is iq take measures to prevent disorganization during War or undtrtakt peWf. meas ures before war. Under our present war-relations with Germany, how can trade relations be resumed with Cen tral Europe without government lead-- v . 5*-“7n4 ' grship and pr$t«en<Sh? Every agent that can assist tem porarily, or ^otherwise, in restoring in ternational trade organization should be welcomed and receive political and financial support. This is no time for theorizing concerning the limita- TToh of government functions. Most of the economic theories of the World Rave been upset by the war. What- i,s wanted is action—prompt .action— in the restoration of economic equili briums.—Boston News Bureau. —- » ♦ ^ ' -i- t lu Loving Remembrance. “7 Mrs. W. C.
