C. i wra HUNGER DRAWS THE MAP Food Shortage approchmg famine Point 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, as well as 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 und she was established once more in her own A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU! seat of government the little nation’s first thought was to express her grati tude to the Commission for Belief In Belgium for preserving the lives of millions of her citizens. Germany, on the other hand, need not figure In such a map for Ameri cans because there Is no present indi cation that we shall be called on at all to take thought for the food needs of Germany. Germuny probably can care for her own food problem If she Is gfven 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 Immediute 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 Bussia 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 und practically throughout the Baltic re- THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1919. gions, with conditions most serious In Finland. Bohemia, Serbia, Roumanla 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 takes Its toll, and in Greece, Albania and Roumanla so serious are 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 ports. This means at the very least a minimum of 20,(XX),000 tons compared with 41,000,000 tons pre war exports and 11,820,000 tons ex ported lust year, when we were bound by the ties of war to the European allies. If we fall to lighten the block spots on the hunger map or If we allow any portions to become darker the very peace for which we fougfit 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 peatr will have been In vain.
