Herbert Hoover leads America’s relief effort in war-ravaged Europe backed by 100 million dollars from Congress. He rejects charity as policy, preferring credit with security to prevent Europe’s pauperization while using early shipments financed from the 5 million dollars initially allocated. Hoover's Paris HQ operates from the Crillon as aides inspect conditions in Poland Serbia and Austria, with Austria-Hungary’s fragmentation hindering distribution and reconstruction.

The piece concludes that a gift ship from America meets the first need, but more aid is required.
