FOOD FOR EUROPE

Sta,—We recently launched an appeal on behalf of the Friends Relief Service, the Aid to Austria Appeals Committee and the Ecumenical Refugee Commission, for the purchase of food, clothing and medicaments. So far, more than £50,000 has been raised and the supplies sent to Austria, France, Germany and Poland. We have just been informed that, owing to a special offer, another £20,000 could be spent in the purchase of food immediately upon the receipt of that sum—food that is desperately needed in this bitter weather. We therefore make a further very urgent appeaffor generous subscriptions. The situation in parts of Europe, where in the present icy conditions most of the popula- tion are lamentably underfed and ill-clad, is indescribable, and the effects will last long after the thaw. Subscriptions for the immediate purchase of supplies now available should be sent to me at the address below. Cheques and postal orders should be made out to "Save Europe Now, European Relief Fund."—Yours sincerely, HENRY CARTER,

Hon. Treasurer.
