DM Moines, la.—Speaking before the
General Conference of tlie Methodist
Kplacopal Church, Henry P. Davison,
chairman of the Board of Governor!
of the League of Red Cross Societies,
said:
As chairman of the Convention of
I ted Cross Societies, composed of rep
resentatives of twenty-seven nation*
I that met recently in Geneva, I am cus-
I todlan of authoritative reports record
ing appalling condlUons among mil
lions of people living In eastern Eu
rope.
One of the moat terrible tragedies In
the history of the human race Is being
enacted within the broad belt of terri
tory lying between the Baltic and the
Black and AdrlaUc Seas.
This area lncludea the new BalUc
Slates—Poland, Cxecho-Slovakia, the
Ukraine, Austria, Hungary, Roumanla,
Montenegro, Albania and Serbia.
The reports which come to us make
It clear that In these war-ravaged
lands civilization has broken down.
Disease, bereavement and suffering;
are present In practically every hous£
hold, while food and clothing are In
sufficient to make life tolerable.
Men, women and children are dying
by thousands, and over vast once-civi
lized areas there are to be found nei
ther medicinal appliances nor medical
skill sufficient to cope with thp devas
tating plagues.
Wholessle starvation is threatened
In Poland this summer unless she can
> procure food supplies In large quanti
i lies. There are now approximately
. 250,000 cases of typhus In Poland and
Ic the area occupied by Polish troops,
i Worst Typhus Epldsmle In History.
This Is already one of the worst ty-.
plius epidemics In the world's history.
In Gallcla whole towns are crippled
and business suspended. In some dis
tricts there is bat one doctor to each
150,000 people.
In the Ukraine, we were told, typhus
and influenza have affected most of the
population.
A report from Vienna, dated Febru
ary 12, aald: "There are rations for
three weeks. Death atalks through the
atreets of Vienna and takes unhinder
ed toil.
Budapest, according to our Informa
tion, Is one vast city of misery and
suffering. The number of deaths Is
double Uiat of blrtha. Of the 100,000
children In the schools, 100,000 are de
pendent on public charity. There aro
150,000 workers idle.
Typhus and amallpox have Invaded
the four countries composing Czecho
slovakia, and there Is lack of medi
cines, soap and physicians.
In Serbia typhus has broken put
again und 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 live physi
cians for a population of 450,000.
Amsrioa Overflowing With Richaa.
Returning to the Unitad States a
few i weeks SOS with aU these horrors
rlngftig In my ears, I found myself
once more In a laud whose granaries
were overflowing, where health and
plenty abounded and where life and
activity and eager enterpriae were in
Uie full flood.
I asked myself: "What if this plague
and fumlne werM here In the great ter
ritory between the Atlantic seaboard
and the Mlaalaslppl valley, which
roughly parallela Uie extent of these
ravaged countries and that 65,000,000
of our own people condemned to idle
neaa by lack of raw material and
whose fields had been devaatated by
Invasion and rapine were racked by
starvation and peatllence and if we
had lifted np our volcea and Invoked
the attention of our brothers in hap
pier Europe to oar own deep miecrles
and oar cries bad fallen oti deaf ears,
would we not In our despair exclaim
against their heart!essness!"
Only Three Way* to Help Europe.
There are only three ways by which
these stricken lands can secure sup
plies from thj outside world. One is
by payment, one by credit, and the
third la by exchange of commodities
If tlieee peoples tried to buy materials
snd {applies In America at the present
, market value of their currencies Aus
tria would have to pay forty tlmea the
original cost. Oertnany thirteen times
Greece Just double, Czecho-Slovakla
fourteen tlmea and Poland fifty tlmea.
Tbede figures are official and art a
true Index of the economic plight of
these countries.
It la clear, therefore, that they can
ntot give us gold for the things the)
must have, nor have they either prod
ucts or aecuritles to offer In return for
credit. If only they could obtain raw
material which theae Idle millions of
theirs could convert Into manufactured
products they would hsve nomethlug to
lender the world In return for Its raw
material, food 'and medicine. Bat 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 utarvea. How
long do yon believe the plague of ty
phus that Is taking a hideous death
toll in Rsthonla and Poland and the
Ukraine and eating along the fringes
of tlmttiiy nnd Czecho-Slovakla will
routine Itself to these remote landaT I
Only last Saturday onr health con*
mission er of New York. l»r. ('opclaad,
■ailed for the other side Just to meas
ure the dnngec «vl take precaution
sgalnat such an Invaslou.
This Is ooe menace at our threshold.
The other, more threatening, inure ter
rible. Is the menace of the world's 111
will. We can afford to die. but to bo
despised forever as a gTeedy and Phar
isaical nation la a fate that we must
not Incur.
The .French government has many
serious problems to solve, but the
French peasant la working and the
French artisan, while stUI sadly In
need of raw materials, has not lost his
habit of Industry and thrift The most
encouraging fact about France today
Is that her people are alive to the se
riousness of France's problem, and
they are going forward bravely to
' solve that problem.
Italy, despite her great shortage of
I raw material, la looking forward and
i not backward. Italy can be relied
\ upon to do her part I
I "England la meeting the problems of
reconstruction Just as those who knew
bar past ahould have expected her to
meet them.
PIM U AM Central lu ftp*.
It Is not tor me perhaps to give la
detail • formula for solution of the
world's Ills, bat aa I bare bam aaked
many time*, "What would yon (far I
am glad to give my own answer.
Accordingly, I would aak:
1. That Congress Immediately pas*
• lilll appropriating a sum not to KP"
ce*d $500,000,000 for the use of Cen
tral and Eastern Europe.
2. That Congress call upon the Pres
ident" to appoint a nonpolltlcal com
mission of three Americana, distin
guished for their character and exec
utive ability and commanding the re
spect of the American people. Such
a commission should include man of
the type of Oeneral Pefshlng, Mr.
Hoover or ex-Secretary Lane. I would
Invest that commission with complete
power.
3. 1 would have the commission In
structed to proceed at once, accompa
nied by proper personnel, to survey
conditions In Central and Eastern Eu
rope und then act for the restoration
of thowe countries under such condi
tions and upon such terms ss the com
mission Itself may decide to be practi
cable end effective. Among the con
ditions should be provided thst there
should be no local Interference with
the free and untrammeled exercise by
the commission of Its own prerogative
of allocating materials. Governmental
politics should be eliminated; unrea
sonable and prejudicial barriers be-"~
tween the vsrlous countries should be
removed, and such substantial guaran
tees aa may be available should be ex
acted In order that the conditions im
posed should be fulfilled.
4. As to financial terms, I should
make them liberal. I would charge no
Interest for the first three years; for 1
the next three years, 6 per cent, with
provision that such interest might be j
funded If the economic conditions of
the country were not approaching nor-1
mul, or If Its exchange conditions were
so udverse as to make payment un
duly burdenaome, I shonld make the
mutirrlty of the obligation IS years
from Us date, and I should have no
doubt aa to Its final payment
6. Immediately the plan was adopt
ed I would have our government In
vite other governments In a position
to assist, to participate In the under
taking.
8. To set forth completely my opin
ion, I should add that In the final In
structions the American people,
through their government, should say
to the commission:
"We want you to go arid 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 dona
right."
I would also say to the commission:
"Use so much of this money as is
needed." Personally, I nm confident
that with the aaalstance and co-opera
tion which would come from other
parts of the world the sum of SOOO,-
000,000 from Hie TTnlted States would
be more than enough to start these
countries on thefr wny 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
additional Liberty bonds, an Increase
In the floating debt or by taxation.
But I think we could properly say to
the treasury department: •
"We know how serious your finan
cial problems nre; we know the dlffl
cultles which are Immediately con
fronting yon; we know the Importance
of deflation, and we know that the gov
ernment must economise and that in
dividuals must economize, but we also
know that the American government
advanced $10,000,000,000 to Its allies
to attain flctory and peace. Certain
ly It is worth making the additional
advance In order to realize the peace
for which we have already struggled,
for nothing Is more certain than that
until normal conditions are restored In
Europe there can be no pence."
Abbve all things, I Would say that
whatever action Is taken should be
taken Immediately. The crisis Is so
acute that the situation does not ad
mit of delay, except \v|lti the possibili
ty of consequences one hardly darfs
contemplate.
The altuatlon that I have spread ont
here Is far beyond the scope of Indi
vidual charity. Only hy the action of
governments, our own and the others
whose resources enable them to co-op
erate, can aid Im> given in sufficient
volume. I am also confident that our
action would he followed hy the gov
ernments of Great Britain, of
of the Scandinavian countries, of
Spain ani Japan, and that F rants an 4
Belglnst «nd Italy, notwithstanding a 0
of their losses, would help to tkeMR
of their ability.

Where doea the blame lie for letting
' woman ret the very first whllf of the
political banquet of her lords and
masters) If that first taste of the in
toxicating beverage of political free
dom had only been kept away from
women, who knowa but they might
have gone right on doing the family
wash forever and left all the dirty
political linen to the men.
Weat got too fresh, that'a what
happened. Ssh I Don't be too rapid—
It wasn't the weat—it was-Kentucky.
In "Hy Old Kentucky Borne, .Far
Away" there were soma Americans
who believed in the constitutional right
»f American citizens not to be taxed
without representation. These men
law that widowa were paying a school
tax, and hadn't even a word to say
about' building a little red school
bouse, nor how many days a year
it should be in operation after it was
built, nor what, nor whether, their
children should study.
In 1838, these Kentucky men gave
school suffrage to widowa with chil
dren of school age, and this ;set the
ftali rolling. The South beat the
Weat to it by twenty years. And ap
parently the men did It all by them
selves out of their own sense of Jus
tice and fair play. It is not recorded
that the widows of Kentucky paraded
for it, nor sent In petitions, nor did
any of the tilings Northern men have
made women do.
Kentucky gentlemen thought the
widows with children of school age
bad bad a raw deal, and they shuffled
the pack and gave them a better.
That's all there was to it.

*i the Democratic National Conmlttee.
FOR THE SAKE OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Apropos to the fact that the women
of thirty state* In the Union are going
to vote for the next President, whether
(be thirty-sixth state ratifies the Fed
eral suffrage amendment or not, Hrs.
Charles D. Mclver of Greensboro has
this to say "for the sake of the Demo
cratic party
"Why cut down the popular vote In
North Carolina by denying North Car
olina women the right to vote for Pres
idential electors along with the women
of other states. True, a state's electo
ral college rote Is no bigger no matter
how much the popular vote la In
creased, but It's Just as true that there
la a psychological factor In the larger
popular vote that has Its effect It
doesn't do the Democratic party any
good to seem to be the party of a few
people instead of many people. Of the
thirty states where women will vote In
the presidential election of 1920 the
popular vote Is nominally Republican
In two-thirds of them. With the wo
men voting In those states the popular
vote on the Republican side Is Increas
ed by millions. In" the Democratic
South millions of women are excluded
and the popular vote correspondingly
reduced. It makes a bad appearance
on the face of things. It creates the
Impression that the Republican party

Democratic party Is the people's party.
Ifa unfair to create this false Impres
sion by an exclusion of the woman
vote la the South at the expense of IBp
Democratic party."
SENATOR SIMMONS
ON THE FEDERAL
SUFFRAGE AMENOMENT
Senator F. M. Simmons of the Unit
ed States Senate says:
"It Is true that the suffrage smend
■lent needs the vo|e of one more staU
for Anal ratification, but when the leg
Matures of all the states shall hsve
acted, I feel «ure after thorough Invea
ligation. It will have several mon
votes than Is Decenary. The practical
question which now confronts us la
therefore, not whetlier women shall b
accorded the privilege of full and
equal suffrage, but when shall they b«
permitted to tater Into the enjoyment
of these privileges Shall it be today
or not until tomorrow; shall It he thli
year or not until next year; sbsll It b«
la the Impending elections or not until
the next succeeding elections? Mani
festly this situation presents a pars
quest!»> of policy and should be dealt
with wlt|ioqt embarrassing reference
to taritvtttaTvtaws as to the wisdom
or aawMdmef woman suffrage as aa
original propositi on. While It will not
bsrin the power of North Carolina to
deter flßne at its option whether wo-
men shall or shall not vote, circum
stances seem to have placed in the
state's power the option of determin
ing whether that privilege shall be ac
corded them In this year's or post
poned until next year's elections. I
do not wish to discuss the political as
pects of this matter further than to
say that, while Republican and Demo
cratic leaders have generally conceded
the Inevitable ratification of the
amendment, there Is a persistent belief
| that Republican leaders fear the ef-
I feet of women's participation In this
year's elections, while Democratic
leaders believe their participation will
be to the advantage of the Democratic
