WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR EUROPE The question is raised constantly by those who are determined to drag the United States into European politics: Why is the United States so isolated? Why does it not help stressed Europe and set Europe upon its economic feet, thus helping the United States? Ten years have passed since the World war began. In that memorable decade the American people have helped distressed Europe to the extent of more than $18,000,000,000. No such instance of humanitarianism and philanthropy has ever been witnessed in the history of the world. While it is impossible to give in detail all the relief work extended by scores of organizations, great and small, many of them of national character, nevertheless enough evidence is at hand in official documents and newspapers to give a fairly accurate estimate of the extent of brotherly love toward Europe, and to prove the falsity of the oft-repeated claim that the United States is isolated, selfish and out of touch with the rest of the world. It is strange that so many "internationalists," so many promoters of the league of nations, so many enemies of the Republican party, will go out of their way to set up false premises and argue from those premises that the United States and the policy of the leaders of American independence are committing a crime against humanity by assuming an attitude of aloofness and refusing to help Europe. To those obsessed with an ideo of internationalism or political entanglement as the way out for civilization, it will be a surprise to learn that the people and the government of the every army hospital in Europe there was a group of Red Cross workers. They wrote letters home for the boys and provided comforts and delicacies by the millions. The Red Cross had emergency hospilas everywhere, and established hotels back of the lines for the sick and convalescent. Altogether the American Red Cross cared for 3,000,000 refugees. In all sorts of relief work the American Red Cross spent approximately $153,000,000. This included the vast relief work for children. After the war, in 1919-1920, more than 1,000,000 people were looked after, fed, sheltered and clothed by the American Red Cross. This work was continued until the spring of 1921, to be followed by medical and social work for children. During these years thousands of children were rescued from death and disease or starvation by the American Red Cross. This organization expended in France alone about $66,933,000; in Poland, $17,283,000; in Russia and the Baltic states, $13,221,000; and in the Balkan states, $13,000,000. The people of the United States contributed $4,996,000 in cash for this American relief in Belgium. Provisions from the United States aggregated in value $26,469,000 and clothing valued at $5,200,000. Congress appropriated $100,000,000 for this relief work, of which amount $84,000,000 was turned back to the United States in the shape of securities. The American Relief administration dispensed $70,000,000 in Russia alone. It fed more than 11,000,000 people. More than 912,000 tons of food were sent from the United States to Russia. Food package sales in the United States resulted in relief to Russia amounting to $14,000,000. The Near East relief disbursement from the United States amounted to health of its own. The community or Rocky M awarded this will take a national child underway. This announces the Child Health Barry C. Smith the Commonwealth man of the Civil Union Committee.

To those obsessed with an idea of internationalism or political entanglement as the way out for civilization, it will be a surprise to learn that the people and the government of the United States have helped distressed Europe to the extent of more than $18,000,000,000 in money, credit, food, gifts, clothing, etc. And the good work is going on now. In the year 1923 alone, it is estimated that private American loans or investments in Europe amounted to nearly $1,000,-000,000; while within the last two weeks the government of France was helped by a private American institution to the extent of $100,000,000. Beginning with the outbreak of the World war to the rest of January, 1924, this monumental and unparalleled work of relief of suffering and extension of credit has been going on; yet not a few are complaining that the United States is isolated, refusing to help Europe! The wealth poured out by America, the self-sacrifice of millions of Americans during and after the great war, ought to stop this false cry of the internationalists and theorists seeking to push the United States into European politics. The wonderful work of all classes of Americans, regardless of age, sex or religion, in the greatest example of international philanthropy, should forever stop the indictment that America is isolated and selfish. This greatest work of America includes not only deeds of charity, of unselfishness, of personal devotion, but loans and credit to bankrupt countries, fed to the starving and clothing to the naked, medical supplies to the sick, agricultural machinery to cultivate the soil and grow crops, materials to rebuild cities and collages, and millions from American tourists. At the outset United States as a nation borrowed $11,600,000,000 from the American people and loaned that vast sum to the allies, to save several nations from being wiped off the map, and likewise to save American honor and independence. A part of this debt has been paid or refunded; but the balance is still unpaid, amounting to about $6,500,000,000. work, of which amount $84,000,000 was turned back to the United States in the shape of securities. The American Relief administration dispensed $70,000,000 in Russia alone. It fed more than 11,000,000 people. More than 912,000 tons of food were sent from the United States to Russia. Food package sales in the United States resulted in relief to Russia amounting to $14,000,000. The Near East relief disbursement from the United States amounted to more than $60,000,000 in 1921. It has increased several millions since. In 1922 the disbursements were $12,282,-000. America sent aid to the sufferers of the Smyrna disaster and saved 200,-000 lives. The Jewish disbursement committee contributed $50,830,000, according to its officers. The American Y. M. C. A. spent $38,375,000 in relief work in Europe from 1914 to 1923. This humanitarian work was accomplished in 20 different countries. The Knights of Columbus spent more than $15,000,-000 in welfare work in Europe. The American Friends (Quaker) service committee disposed nearly $11,000,000 in relief work and mercy in nine countries. The American Young Women's Christian association spent $3,000,000 in relief work. The American Catholic Welfare council spent $1,ooo,ooo more. Eighty per cent of the 3,ooo,ooo tons total allied relief up to July 1, 1919 was supplied by the United States. From 1919 to 1924, between $250,-ooo,ooo and $5ooo,ooo a year have been sent to Europe which did not go through organized channels; but it was all relief work. Finally, American tourists during the last four years have spent in Europe from $25o.ooooOO to $35o.ooooOO a year.

At the outset United States as a nation borrowed $11,600,000,000 from the American people and loaned that vast sum to the allies, to save several nations from being wiped off the map, and likewise to save American honor and independence. A part of this debt has been paid or refunded; but the balance is still unpaid, amounting to about $6,500,000,000. Nine countries of Europe purchased surplus war supplies from the United States amounting to about $18,000,000. These notes have not yet been paid. The United States Grain corporation sold the starving countries of Europe about $60,000,000 worth of flour and took notes. The United States still holds the notes. The American Red Cross spent $300,000,000 through its different agencies in Europe, in extending relief to the people of that country. The real value of this relief was far beyond calculation in money. Early in the war the American Red Cross offered to every one of the belligerent countries two hospital units, including doctors and nurses. These hospital units were sent to England, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia and Serbia. Italy had not then entered the war. When the United States entered, the efforts of the Red Cross were devoted to the allies only. Millions of refugees had been driven out of Belgium and devastated France. The American Red Cross performed a tremendous task in caring for these people. Many millions of dollars were spent in relief. The American Red Cross had aboot 10,000 persons in its employ in Europe at the height of its efforts.

The city or county must be between 29,Ooo and 75,Ooo population and be located in one of the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington or Wyoming. The city or county winning the award will be given assistance by the Child Health Demonstration Committee in safeguarding the life and ANAHEIM GAZETTE health of its mothers and children. The community in the Pacific Coast or Rocky Mountain states to be awarded this five year demonstration will take a conspicuous place in the national child health program now underway. This announcement was made in the Child Health Magazine today by Barry C. Smith, general director of the Commonwealth Fund and chairman of the Child Health Demonstration Committee. The Committee is already conducting three demonstrations: one at Fargo, N. D. in the middle west, another in Rutherford County, Tennessee, in the rural areas of the South, and the third in Athens, Georgia, designed to meet typical urban problems in the South. The committee trusts that the establishment of a demonstration in a city or county of the Far West will aid in the development of a health plan for the children of that community in a similar way. The proposed demonstration, it is hoped, may be of indirect help to those promoting the cause of child health in that entire area. Any city or county in these states with a population between 20,000 and 75,000 will be eligible for consideration. The selection of the center will be based upon a careful review of the whole health situation and the needs of the community. But the paramount consideration in making the choice will be the sincerity of the community's desire to develop a complete and rounded child health plan for the community as a whole. The readiness shown by citizens and public officials to assume early and increasing responsibility, financial and otherwise, for the demonstration, will be one of the tangible evidences of the probable success of the demonstration.

HENRY KUCHEL Sworn to and subscribed before me this 27th day of March, 1924. Helen Melhorn Notary Public (Seal) My commission expires Nov.-14, 1927 NOTICE TO CREDITORS ESTATE OF ANNA HILBERS, Deceased Notice is hereby given, by the undersigned, Otto Hilbers, Executor of the will of Anna Hilbers, Deceased, to the creditors of and all persons having claims against the said deceased to file them, with the necessary youchers in the office of the whole health situation and the needs of the community. But the paramount consideration in making the choice will be the sincerity of the community's desire to develop a complete and rounded child health plan for the community as a whole. The readiness shown by citizens and public officials to assume early and increasing responsibility, financial and otherwise, for the demonstration, will be one of the tangible evidences of the probable success of the undertaking. The demonstration will be worked out with the utmost care. It will include all matters related to child health. The proper safeguards for both mother and child before the infant is born, at child-birth, and afterwards, and follow-up care to bring the new citizen safely through his most dangerous age, will be one part of the program. The neglected period between babyhood and school age will be another. Stress will be laid upon teaching school children the necessity of being healthy in order to enjoy their games as well as to advance in their education. The development of health habits and the correction of physical defects will also be considered essentials. The community's responsibility for providing a safe supply of milk, wholesome living conditions, playgrounds and other necessities for the growth of its children are other factors which will be emphasized in the community program to build up the health of its children. The Child Health Demonstration committee, believing that the community itself must play a leading part in the demonstration, will direct its own efforts toward assisting rather than dictating. The physicians in the community will be looked to for guidance in the matters of health supervision and persons needing medical treatment will be referred to them. Similarly, to the teachers in the public schools and the parents will fall into the real task of educating the children in health ideals and habits. Cooperation of public officials, health workers and citizens will be essential for the success of this community venture in the building of physically sound citizens. The development of initiative and self-reliance on the part of the children themselves will be a critical item. The Child Health Demonstration Committee is a joint committee of the Commonwealth Fund, whose liberal grant makes possible this program, and of the American Child Health Association. It consists of the following: **NOTICE TO CREDITORS** ESTATE OF ANNA HILBERS, Deceased Notice is hereby given, by the undersigned, Otto Hilbers, Executor of the will of Anna Hilbers, Deceased, to the creditors of and all persons having claims against the said deceased to file them, with the necessary vouchers.
