HUNGER DRAWS THE MAP
A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu­
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu­
mulated on the farms, there Is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, ns
well us Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand In a different rela­
tion from the other nations to the peo­
ple of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their Increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included In this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more In her own
seat of government the little nation’s
first thought was to express her grati­
tude to the Commission for Relief In
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure tn such a map for Ameri­
cans because there Is no present indl-
cntlon that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem if she is
given access to shipping and Is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou­
ble centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet Immediate
needs, but their fututre presents seri­
ous difficulties. The same Is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun­
tries—Norway, Sweden and Denmark
—whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia Is already in the
throes of famine, and 40,000,000 people
there are beyond the possibility of
help. Before another spring thou­
sands of them Inevitably must die.
This applies as well to Poland and
practically throughout the Baltic re-
glons, with conditions most serious in
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumanta and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula­
tion Is falling each week as hunger
tnkes Its toll, and In Greece, Albania
and Roumanla so serious ure the food
shortages that famine Is near. Al­
though starvation Is not yet Imminent.
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur­
key are in the throes of serious strin­
gencies.
In order to fulfill America's pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be han­
dled through our porta. This means at
the very least a minimum of 20,000,000
tons compared with 0,000,000 tons pro­
war exports and 11,820,000 tons ex­
ported laBt year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fall to lighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
pence for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
Inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see In other parts of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de­
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been In vain.
