My reasons for amending the bill so as to double the amount of the relief is that If 20.000.000 people in Germany are starving or needing relief we can not very well donate anything less than a dollar apiece. It has been said in this debate that there are 2.000.000 babies that are suffering for lack of food. especially milk. and if there are that many babies suffering there are that many mothers also that ought to have assistance. I have met some young men who came as Immigrants from Germany last summer and heard the stories these simple. truthful. young rustics had to tell. They- were tales of horror. and these young boys will always have stamped upon their faces the shadow of the greatest tragedy that has ever come upon any nation. I have seen photos of starving Germnan children who were as gruesome to look at as any that came out of India in a time of famine.
