Great as were the losses from

burning and pillage," says Ernest P. |B_icknell, director of the Rockefeller ,Foundation Belgian Relief Work, "the , chief losses in Belgium are the result of the almost complete industrial and commercial paralysis which has fol- lowed the occupation of the country by the conquerors, and the levy of tri- ‘bute thereafter exacted. ` _ I "Belgium normallyfis not agricultur- ally self-supporting. She is one of the richest countries, per capital, in the world, but her _wealth lies in her manufacturers. her mines and her com- merce. Only 25 per cent of the pen- ple are classed as agricultural and she produces less than half the cereals which she consumes." I Mr. Bicknell describes the details of the inroads into and the final destru- ction of the commercial activities of the country and says. “The coiidltion is somewhat analogous to' that of ii vigorous man. struck down by, para- lysis and although in full possession of all of his faculties, unable to move _ hand or foot." I This paralysis mentioned by Mi°.Bick ' neil is what is responsible for the dire straits of the Belgian people today. The removal of all means of livliliood has reduced the aged men, women and helpless tote. to utter starvation-t’ac» ing. a-merciless winter and a more merciless coiiqnerer. Nearly a million Belgians tied from the country early in the war but those who were left behind are not' even permitted to leave their own villages. so close ii 1-heck is kept on their movements by the German soldiers.

Germany has attempted to revive

some of the industries and encourage the Belgians to operate them, but the Belgians have refused iii spite of the fact that it would relieve them of the pangs of hunger. They have re- fused to work for the benefit of their enemies andthe enemies of their alli- es oven to put bread into the inoutli of tlioir starving .babes. _

A saciiilce of this kind eaiiiiut be

fully appreciated liy those who have not known privatlon and hunger. A sacrifice of this kind is deserving _of more than words of comniendation and praise, ;glt.__ deserves concrete re- cognitioii iu'=thc-form oi' the wheat that the Belglaiis need and must have ai nm-n in \-'een .them from perishing.

The Belgian Relief Fund is establish-

ed to provide__these starving Belgians with the food they might get by $00- riileing their lionor. The Belgian Re- lief Committee is sending wheat to the Belgians, the wheat of Canadians, as a reward for the bravery of the lit- .
