Relief Commission Saves Lives of Hungry Belgians
People of Belgium Enjoy Better Conditions, Hoover Reports
There has been no loss of life from starvation in Belgium and Northern France, and the results of undernourishment during the occupation can be stamped out if America continues to send food. This is the report that Herbert Hoover, chairman of the commission for Relief in Belgium has sent to the Commission headquarters in the United States after a careful personal survey of the whole field.
The survival of the population of these territories, while a full quarter of other peoples under German domination have died of famine, is due to the work of the Commission, he says, which for four years poured great lines sufficient to keep the people above the margin of starvation.
The gratitude of these people, Mr. Hoover says in his cablagem, "is unbounded and embarrassing." They no longer need or desire to get food through charity; but owing to the systematic destruction of their textile industries they must still depend for clothing to a considerable extent upon the people of the United States.
Mr. Hoover's cable message was in part:
"During the German occupation there was an effective control not only of distribution by the Commission for Relief in Belgium but also of the native food supply. With the retreat and demoralization in transport and government before the re-establishment of the Belgian Government, there ensued a period when there was bit little control over foodstuffs."
"The Belgian Government has established a food administration and problems are being taken in hand just as rapidly as possible under the conditions. In the meantime it is possible with sufficient money, to buy almost any kind of food in Belgium. But more than one-half the population of Belgium today than an innoxious family, and they are practically dependent upon the distribution of controlled imports by the Commission.
"Because of the supplementary meals furnished by the Relief Commission and the many children's institutions which have been largely supported by the magnificent outpouring of world charity, the children have come through this period in a state of health perhaps even better than could be expected."
