Aid Belgians On A Business Basis
The American commission for relief in Belgium will provide about 65 million dollars worth of foodstuffs to Belgians by mid August. Charitable gifts total around 5 million dollars from America and roughly the same from other regions, with 55 million raised indirectly by Belgians themselves through a new exchange and banking system set up to finance meals, schools, and municipal works. Bread has become cheaper in Belgium than in London as this system expands across enemy lines.
