Letters from Judge John Barton Payne and James L. Barton urge humanitarian aid for Smyrna refugees. They describe mass hunger shelterlessness and peril in the Near East and call on The Literary Digest to mobilize funds and public sympathy.
A 1922 letter from John Barton Payne appeals to American readers to fund Near East Relief and the Red Cross as famine and persecution in Smyrna and Saloniki drive hundreds of thousands from their homes. The Literary Digest publishes an urgent editorial urging immediate gifts to feed, shelter, and care for half a million refugees, with the Digest pledging 10000 dollars and coordinating a national relief effort led by Harding's special committee.
