POSITION IN CENTRAL EUROPE

TO TUB EDITOR. Sir,—ln reply to your "Local and General" paragraph, in this evening's paper, in which "An Englishman" refers to our private appeal for help to starv-' ing •women and children, and draws attention to a recent cablegram giving statistics of infant mortality, I wish to say thaT, without questioning the correctness of the cabled, statistics, and without considering their relevance or otherwise to our collection, to anyone interested there is quite sufficient evidence available in current literature (Keynes 1 "Economic Consequences of the Peace," Stead's "The Beacon," "Foreign Affairs," etc.) to prove that thousands of women and childi'en in Central Europe are in dire need and distress. To help them we are collecting worn clothing and money. The enclosed' circulars issued by The Friends Emergency and War Victims' Relief Committee, and the Fight the Famine Fund, with whom we are working in conjunction, are submitted for your perusal. If "An Englishman" will give me the opportunity I shall be pleased to supply Mm, or anyone else interested, with further facts re-, gaf ding distress in Central E'lvrope and oui efforts in relief.—l am, etc., E. IKGEBOEQ JQQSTEN. ■ , Bth October,
