Hoover Faults Camps And Urges Unified Belgian Relief
Herbert Hoover, chairman of the Belgian relief committee, argued that American aid should be centralized under one commission to avoid waste. He warned that refugee camps in England and Holland would demoralize refugees and hinder solutions. Repatriation to Belgian villages, funded by Americans with Allied and German cooperation, offers the best path, he said, with Holland and England needing funds for winter and next year’s crops. E. B. Wyman sails to New York to raise U S support for ongoing relief efforts.

Munsterberg Resigns At Harvard Over Wiener Bequest
Prof Hugo Munsterberg formally presented his resignation to the Harvard corporation after Maj Wiener threatened to cancel a 10 million dollar bequest to Harvard. The corporation decided to accept, though Munsterberg will not be allowed to resign. Harvard hopes Wiener will reconsider his decision about the bequest and will not yield to the demand that Munsterberg depart. The trustees defend his ability to express views in German defense and affirm Harvard's policy of faculty latitude on public affairs.
