In some dis. doctor to each nd busing tricts there is but one 150,000 people In the Ukraine, we were told, typhus and influenzit have affected most of the population. A report from Vienna, dated Febru- ary 12, said: “There are rations for three weeks, Death stalks through the streets of Vienna and takes unhinder- ed toll. judapest, according to our informa tion, is one vast city of misery and suffering. The number of deaths is double that of births, Of the 160.000 children in the schools, 100,000 are de- pendent on public charity, There are 150.000 workers idle, Typhus and smallpox have invaded the four countries composing Czecho- Slovakia, and there is lack of medi- cines, soap and physicians, In Serbia typhus has broken out again and there are but 200 physicians to minister to the needs of that entire country. In Montenegro, where food is run- ning short, there are but five physi clans for a population of 450,000, America Overflowing With Riches. Returning to the United States a few weeks ago with nll these horrors ringing in my: ears, 1 found myself once more in a land whose granaries were overflowing, where health and plenty abounded and where life and activity and eager enterprise were in the full flood. ked myself : “What If this plague ritory between the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippl valley, which roughly parallels the extent of these ravaged countries and that 65,000,000 of our own people condemned to idle. ness by lack of raw material and whose fields had been devastated by invasion and rapine were racked by starvation and pestilence and If we had lifted up our volces and invoked the attention of our brothers In hap pler Burope to our own deep miseries and our cries had fallen on deaf cars, would we not in our despair exclaim against their henrtiessioss I” Only Three Ways to lielp Europe. There are only three ways by which these stricken ands can secure sips wlies from the outside world. One Is by payment, one by credit, and the third Is by exchange of commodities, If these peoples tried to buy materials and supplies in America at the present misrket value of thelr currencies Aus- trina would have to pay forty times the original cost, Germany thirteen times, Greece just double, Czecho-Slovakia fourteen times and Poland fifty times. These figures are official and are a true index of the economic plight of these countries. It is clear, therefore, that they can- ot give us gold for the things they must have, nor have they either prod- ucts or securities to offer in return for credit, If only they could obtain raw material which these idle millions of thelrs could convert into manufactured products they would have something to the world In return for its raw material, food and medicine, ut if they have neither money nor credit how are they to take this first great step towards redemption One-half the world may not eat while the other half starves How plague of ty- denth tender long do you believe the phus that 8 taking a hideous toll in Esthonia and Poland and eating any amd C If to thi relay to mens precaution at our threshol hreatening, more te ce of the Tos] to die, but to be and phar. fot The French ge rmment has many i but the and the recon her past meet them, Plan to Aid Central Europe.

To set forth completely my opin- fon, 1 should add that in the fing! in- structions the American people, through their government, should say to the commission : “We want you to To and do this job in such a manner as, after study, you think it should be done, This is no ordinary undertaking. The American people trust you to see that it Is done right.” I would algo say to the commission : “Use go mach of this money as is needed.” Personally, T am confident that with the assistance and co-opera- tion which would come from other parts of the world the sum of £500. 000.000 from the United States would be more than enough to start these countries on their wap to self support and the restoration of normal condi. tions, The whole plan, of course, involves many practical considerations, the most serious of which is that of ob- taining the money, whether by issuing in the flonting debt or by taxation, But I think we could properly say to the treasury department: REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF The First National Bank, at Spring Mills In the State of Vennsylvania, at the close of business on May 4, 1920, RESOURCES Loans and discounts, includ ing rediscounts . $7 400 22 Overdrafts unsecured S08 00 Deposited ta secure circula lation (U + nds par val ae : 25,000 00 Pledge a as collateral for State or other deposits or bills payable Owned and unpledged War Savings Certificates and Thrift Stamps actually owned .
