Herbert Hoover, head of the Belgian relief commission, told New York Chamber of Commerce that American donations have been only nine million dollars despite a 150 million dollar program and urged monthly support of six to eighteen million dollars to aid 10 million Belgians and northern France. He warned that subsidies may end, calling for a national trusteeship of American wealth to sustain relief and prevent European bitterness.
