MISERY IN EUROPE
TERRIBLE ECONOMIC TRAGEDY IMMINENT. AN AMERICAN’S WARNING. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) NEW YORK, May 16. A message from Des Moines, lowa, states that Mr Henry F. David, chairman of the League of the Red Cross Society, declared at a general conference of Methodist Episcopal churches that starvation and disease had undermined Middle and Eastern Europe. Complete economic, political, moral, and physical collapse was imminent, and there was a vital necessity for Congress appropriating 500,000,000 dollars for the use of Central and Eastern Europe, and inviting other Powers to follow suit and co-operate in feeding the people. The crisis was so acute that delay would be fatal. The result would be the most terrible tragedy the human race had ever known. To be despised for ever as a greedy, pharisaical nation was a fate the United States must not incur.
