Dr. Varnon Kellogg of the American Relief Administration, back from Warsaw, says Poland's destitution after the war rivaled Belgium under siege. He notes aid began January, with four million in need and 2.25 million Polish children fed daily, as eight European relief groups unite to fund food and medical care for 8.5 million children across Eastern and Central Europe.
