AMERICAN FAIR PLAY
While the people of the United
States have been sending thirty mil
lion dollars’ worth of relief to Eu
rope and Turkey, two hundred thou
sand women and childn n in Alban
ia have died of starvation.
While each woman and child in
Belgium has had plenty to eat, wo
men and children in Albania have
gnawed at the carcasses of dead
horses in the streets.
William Willard Howard, of New
York, who has returned from his
third trip to this hunger zone of Eu
rope, predicts that the entire popu
lation of Albania will die of famine
and pestilence unless helped. He
says tliat In Albania corn is fifty
dollars a bushel, flour eighty dol
lars a sack, and macaroni five dol
lars a pound.
“The tragedy of Albania,” says
Mr. Howard, "is that a nation is dy
ing of hunger, while the people of
the United States, laden with gifts
for the rest of Europe and for Tur
key, pass by on the other side.
"Thirty million of dollars have
been given by the people of the
United States for relief work of va
rious kinds in Belgium, Poland, Ar
menia, Syria and the warring coun
tries of 'Europe, while two hundred
thousand women and children in the
Southeastern parti of Europe have
starved to death unheeded and un
cared for. Not one woman or child
has died of hunger in Belgium; two
hundred thousand in Albania.
"Is that fair—is it human-—that
the innccent women and children cf
Albania, who never did anyone any
harm, should be trampled under foot
and left to perish, at a time when
all others are fed.
"Is this American fair play.
""I have appealed for help in high
places. I have begged a crust of
bread of those who iiave given mil
-I’Vns to Belgium, Poland, Armenia
and Syria. I have begged in vain.
"The Albanians are as much en
titled to sympathy and help as oth-

t!;e war. They fed and sheltered
the refugees from Servia, even with
the last measure of corn that the
famine-smitten villages possessed-
They have not done any wrong; yet
armies have swept over their coun
try, taking what could be found to 1
take, having to the starving women
and children only the carcasses of
dead horses in the streets.
"I ask only American fair play for
the famished children of Albania. 1
ask of all fair-minded men and worn
en in the United States: Why should
the Albanians—three hundred thou
sand of whom are Christians —be left
to starve, while we press forward,
In generous rivalry, to feed the oth
res. The Albanians are more nu
merous than the Armenians; yet we
feed the Armenians and let the Al
banians starve.
“Having appealed to deaf ears in
high places I now appeal to the plain
people—to fair minded men and wo
men who would not let even a dog
starve to death, no matter what liis
breed. I want to go back to Alban
ia with a ilhipload of food. I have
arranged for a ship—a new Ameri
can ship, just launched and fitted
for sea. The ship is ready and wait
ing.
“A number of distinguished gen
tlemen in New York —mostly clergy
men and editors of newspapers—will
co-operate in an appeal for a relief
cargo for the ship. The treasurer se
lected to receive contributions is
the Rev. Frederick Lynch, D. D., ed
itor oif The Christian Work and sec
retary of the Carnegie Church Peace
Union. Contributions in any am/ount
from tiie price of a loai* of bread up
ward-may be sent to the Balkan Re

city.”
