Estimate
for feeding 20,000 children
according to Pirquet's schedule -- 1 liter milk per child a day, or its equivalent in nutritional value. The figures are from memory and need revision.
Milk 1 kilo (or about 1 Liter)= about
A similar nutritional value would be
Cost.
[fresh] milk in Switzerland about 45 ↑di↓ per kilo
Average expense per 1 child 1 day 60 ↑di↓ + 5 ↑di↓ - 10 ↑di↓ for fuel & service
Or 20,000 children one day wd cost 13,000 frs or £570 sterling [page 2]
To this cost
Mark
Children wd pay 50 pfenning a day each=13,000 M.
Costs: Frs: 13,000 = 100,000 Marks a day
less 13,000 local contributions
To be found outside Germany 84,000 Marks
Which equals -- 11,310 Frs or £500 st: or $2000
For six months cost $376,000 for 20,000 children
Proposed scheme for American Bounty. In big cities (over 100,000 [illegible]) there may be about 9,000,000 Germans -- with children (6-10) to be fed at least 300,000. Six months cost for these would be 5,640,000 dollars -- or sixteen times $376,000 would sixteen American towns or groups of towns each undertake a big German town where 20,000 children have to be fed at cost of $376,000.
For instance
New York might undertake Berlin with 5 parts
Chicago [might undertake] Hamburg [with] 2 parts
Philadelphia [might undertake] Breslau [with] 2 parts
Milwaukee [might undertake] Leipzig [with] 1 part
Cleveland Ohio [might undertake] Breman [with] 1 [part]
San Francisco [might undertake] Frankfurt [with] 1 [part]
