Davidson, chairman of the League of Red Cross Societies, declared to the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church that starvation and disease had undermined Middle and Eastern Europe. Comnlete economic, political, moral, and physical collapse was imminent. He urged the vital neeessitiy of Congress appropriating £100,000,000 for the use of Central and Eastern Europe. They should also invite other Powers to" follow suit and co-oporate in feeding the peoples, the crisis wa« so acute that delay would be fatal and would result in the most terrible tragedy the human race had ever known. To be despised for ever as a greedy pharisaical nation was a fate the Uniteid States must not incur.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
