"It's worse than a tariff wall, a toll gate or a bandit's nest because they at least collect something for someone," he said.

That is the reason of the Canadian appeal for children campaign which is being launched to support the United Nations' Children's Emergency Fund. Highlights of official reports on five countries amply illustrate the need of Canadians contributing to the most generaus extent possible. Czechoslovakia Because this country had no rain from May to November, there is a great grain shortage. Farmers are slaughtering their farm animals because they have nothing with wh'ich to feed them. Consequently, there will be even less milk. The fields are picked clean of every stock and the food situation is critical in almost all aspects. - France The drought prevented a normal harvest and animals are being slaughtered on a large scale because they cannot be fed. There is already a shortage of milk and it will get steadily worse. In December, only one month's supply of powdered milk was left to infants. The shortage of grain is cutting into bread rations. Bread is scarce and already severely rationed. Greece As a result of the political conflict, confusion is terrible everywhere, causing great difficulties in supply. Fear and hunger have hold. Among the refugee groups are 175,000 children who need to be fed. Malnutrition is severe. Many of the children have rickets or tuberculosis, and most of them show the effects of long privation in their stunted growth. Italy Great poverty is to be seen everywhere, and it will grow worse in this winter of crisis. The children' are shabby and inadequately clothed. In the north, where it is cold, many of the children are still without shoes. In southern Italy, some of the children have been without milk for a year. Elsewhere the last stocks are being used up for the feeding of the orphan children, of which Italy has some 200,000 under care. Poland The country still shows the terrible destruction of the war. Despite all the rebuilding, streets are still piled high with fragments of homes. Many cities will have to be rebuilt. In the country the'devastatiofl is likewise great. Many of the farm animals were killed during the war, and the country has only half of its pre-war stock. Although the drought was not so bad as elsewhere nor the harvest conditions, still food supplies are very inadequate. Tuberculosis is a serious threat to the children. , Up to now almost all relief money has come fjpm governments. It was because governmental contributions have fallen so far short of the need that U.N.C.E.F. was created, going direct to the people on behalf of the children. Unless replenishment of funds comes quickly through the Appeal's campaigns throughout the world, there will be only enough money to carry on a limited supplementary feeding program for .3,500,000 European children only a fraction of those dangerously low on calories.

You saw it in tne Daily News'! WE MAKE THE TOST NEUBERGER may have drawn some long DICK bows and pigmented some of his references with unexpected color rather than hairline accuracy but his article in the Saturday Evening Post makes a good story and the important thing is the publicity that Prince Rupert gets. The picture of the Indians in the lower Third Avenue street scene, the reference to the rain may clash a little with the sensibilities of some local folk but there is plenty of good reading and the exposition of this city's advantages as a potential world port the menace to Seattle's long stranglehold on Alaska's $150,000,000 trade makes great publicity. The article, of course, arouses keen interest here and it will be particularly appreciated by all those who know or have known Prince Rupert. More important, however, is the fact that millions of Saturday Evening Post readers will learn something by reading the article on and looking at the pictures of a place which some of them may never have heard of before and the large majority of whom know little or nothing about. A good job of press-agenting has been done for Prince Rupert and, since the publicity i free, we may well be appreciative and give Dick Neuberger and the Saturday Evening Post a vote of thanks.
