GRAVE MENACE TO U. S. A.

the KMiieial cetifereiu-e of the Metho
dist I' yiiMi npHl ( lurch. Henry P. Davl
aon, chairman or the Hoard of Gov
oniiira of the Ipbkuh of lied Croaa So
clellea, said: "Aa chairman of the
convention of Red Cross soclntlea com
posed of representative of twenty
seven nation that met recently In
Geneva, 1 aiu custodian of authorita
tive reporta recording appalling con
illllona among nillllon of people liv
ing In eastern Kurop.
"One of the moat terrible tragodlea
of the hlst'.ry of the human race ia be
ing enacted wtthln the bread belt of
territory lying between the llaltlc and
the lllack and Adriatic mas.
"This area includes tha new Baltic
states Poland, Chechoslovakia, The
Ckralne, Auatrta, Hungary, Rotimanla,
Montenegro, Albania and Serbia.
"The reports which come to us
make It clear that In these war ravaged
lands rlvllUatlon haa broken down.
IMaeaao, be l avement and Buffering
are present In practically every houae
hold. while food and clothing are In
sufficient to make life tolerable.
"Men, women and children are dy
ing by thouaanda, and over vast once
civilised areas there are to be found
neither medicinal appliances nor medi
cal skill sufficient to cope with the
devastating plaguea.
"Wholesale starvation Is threstened
in Poland this summer unless ahs can
procure food supplies In large qnantl
ilea. There are now approximately
'.T,0,000 cases of typhua In Polaud and
11 the area occupied by Polish troops.
Woret Typhus Epidemls ls History,
"This Is already on of the worst
typhus epidemics In the world's his
tory. In Oalicla whole towrt are
crippled and business suspended, in
some districts there is but on doctor
to each 1 50.000 people.
"In the Ukraine, wa wars told, ty
phua and (nfluenia have affected moat
of the population.
"A report from Vienna, dated Febru
ary 12, aald: 'There are ratlona for
three week. Death stalks tnrougn
the streets of Vienna and takes un
hindered toll.'
"Budapest, according to our Informa
tlon. is one vast city of misery and
suffering. The number of deaths Is
double that of births.
"Typhus and smallpox have Invaded
the four countries composing tiecno-
Slovakia, and there la lack of medi-
olnea, aoap and phyalclana.
In Serbia typhua baa broken out
again and there are but 200 phyalclana
to minister to the needa of that entire
country.
"Returning to the United States a
tow week aso with all these horrors
ringing li my eara, I found myself
nnce more In a land whoae granaries
were overflowing, where health and
plenty abounded and where life and
activity and eager enterprise were In
the full flood.
"I asked myself: 'What If this plague
and famine were her In ths great
errltory between the Atlantic aea
board and the Mississippi valley, which
roughly parallels the extent of these
ravaged countrlea and that 66,000.000
of our own people condemned to Idle
neaa by lack of raw material and
whose fields had been devastated by
Invasion and rapine were racked by
starvation and pnatllence and If we
had lifted up our voices and invoked
the attention of our brother In happiel
Kurope to our own deep misertea and
our cries had fallen on deaf ear
would we not In our despair exclaim
against their heartlessnes.'
Only Three Waya to Help Europe.
"There are only three ways by which
these stricken lands can secure up
piles from the outside world. One Is
by payment, one by oredlt and the
third is by exchange of commodities.
If these peoplea tried to buy materlala
and supplies in America at the present
market value of vhelr currencies
uBtrla would have to pay forty timea
the original cost, Germany thirteen
times, Greece Just double, Checho
slovakia fourteen and Poland fifty
times. These figures are official and
lire a true Index of the economic plight
of these countries.
"It is clear, therefore that they can
not give us gold tor the things they
miiBt have, nor have they either pro
ducts or securities to offer In return
for credit. If only they could obtain
raw material which these Idle millions
of theirs could convert Into manufact
ured products they would have some
thing to tender the world In return for
Its raw material, food and medicine.
But if they have neither money nor
credit how are they to take this first
great 'step towards redemption, On
half the world may not eat while the
other half starves. How long do you
believe the plague of typhus that Is
taking a hideous death toll in Esthonia
and Poland and the Ukraine and eat
ing along the fringes of Germany and
Cxecho-Slovakla will confine itself to
these remote lands? ' '
