THE JEWISH MONITOR
Thm
FOOD DRAFTS MAY BE SENT TO
RELATIVES. j
' "It is absolutely certain that dur-
ing the early summer months there
will be an acute food shortage in Po-
land." ' i
This is the warning which Dr. Boris
D. Bogen director of the relief work
in Poland of the Joint Distribution
Committee of the American funds for
Jewish War Sufferers sounds lii his
last report to the committee. From
the report it appears that there ft ac-
tually an insufficient quantity pf:food
in Poland. This may not be .apparent
to many because the fact that the 'poor
have no money with which to buyij sup-
plies means that there is enough food
left over for those who have ' the
wealth to purchase what they want.
But the greater the number of people
who are able to buy food; the more
keenly the shortage of various article?
will be felt; and during the first
months of summer before the grain
is harvested the food scarcity will be
felt even under the present conditions.
Dr. Bogen therefore points put the
necessity of sending even more food
parcels from America and of sending
them as soon as possible so that the
famished Jews may be able to tide
over the lean months. The prevailing
belief that food is cheaper in Poland
than it is here is a comnlvte mistake.)
also based upon the fact the masses
. ... . . t!
parcels in certain sections either be-
cause of the military situation the
badly neglected roads' or some other
cause equally impossible to avoid.
Every food parcel contains 24 1-2
pounds of wheat flour; 10 pounds of
rye flour; 5 pounds of rice; 5 pounds
of dried beans'; 6 pounds of cocoa; 4
quarts of vegetable oil; and 10 four-
teen ounce cans of sweetened condens-
ed milk. The price of a food parcel
is $12.50.
The motor trucks of the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee in Poland are
used for various purposes in the dis-
tribution of relief. Floating the Amer-
ican Flag they visit every commun-
ity in Poland and deliver money cloth-
ing tools and whatever other com-
modities are destined for that place.
They are contending successfully with
the handicaps imposed' by the unfor-
tunate shortage of trains horses and
wagons and the poor communication
facilities in Poland generally.

to obtain parcels of nourishing food
stuffs which can sustain a family for
some time. Some of these articles
such as cocoa condensed milk and oil
which the Polish Jews were not accus-r
tomed to use in quantities are now be-
ing used more and more on account of
their nutritive value and serve instead
of other fats which are hard to get.
The flour rice and beans which every
parcel contains may suffice a family
for several weeks.
The Joint Distribution Committee
has recently perfected a plan for send-
ing to Poland both food and the nec-
essary machinery for its distribution.
The food is now in Warsaw where it is
packed into separate parcels and ship-
ped to the provincial towns and cities.
To receive a parcel abroad one must
present a coupon. These coupons are
purchased in this country and then
mailed to the person In Poland who is
to get the food package; a duplicate
of the coupon is given to the buyer
here and retained by him to serve
as a receipt
The packages have so far been des-
patched to the leading cities of Pol-
and to be ready when the coupons ar-
rive. One thousand of them have been
sent to Bialystock and an equal num-
ber to Limber?. Shipments have also
been made to Vilna Rovno Minsk and
Brest-Lltovsk. The motor trucks
which the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee has in. Poland are able to carry
these parcels to the remotest towns
with the greatest possible speed and
the food coupons now being sent out
will within a few weeks bring food
to whomever they are sent It must
