Life or Death
There are 80,000 children in Un
>^yj|pied France, who can be sav
Jjtrom starvation OiNLY if we
care that they should be saved.
Their destiny is in our hands.
The Friends Service Committee
of France (the Quakers) is daily
feeding 50,000 of them in 400
school canteens; 10,000 babies are
receiving one pint of milk a day.
To continue this food and milk
service and to extend it to 30,000
more, a campaign for funds has
been initiated by the Coordination
Council of French Relief Societies,
with headquarters in New York.
When these funds are available,
650 tons of milk, now held in
Switzerland, will be released for
shipment to France and foodstuffs
will be brought in from Portugal.
In this connection, it is essential
to stress one all important fact.
The Friends Committee has ab
^ute control over these ship
‘ units from the movement of ar
rmil to the point of consumption.
Their trucks meet the sealed cars
and their workers supervise the
deliverv and distribution of sup
plies. Unawareness of this fact
has deterred many Americans
from giving aid, some of them
fearing confiscation -of supplies by
the Germans and others confusing
it with the Hoover plan. There is
sufficient evidence on file at New
York headquarters to disprove
both of these theories.
This appeal for funds is not
confined to lovers of France; it
extends to all men and women;
to those who have children of
their own and who can well un
derstand the anguish of parents
who must witness the slow stafva
