Dear Madam:
I take the liberty of sending you an answer to your statement upon the "Blockade of Germany" which I have cut from a paper of todays issue, which seems to me to very completely refute the position which you have taken.
M. Paderewski tells us that there is not a child left alive under seven in Poland. This is due largely to the position of Germany in refusing the Red Cross of this Country the privilege of providing or furnishing relief to sufferers in Poland.
It cannot be doubted that if food stuffs were allowed to be sent to Germany to feed the German children, that it would be used by the German authorities to feed the soldiers instead.
It is to be hoped that the pressure of the children's wants upon the parents of Germany will sooner or later cause a self assertion of individual rights which will do away with the most frightful military autocracy that the world has known in modern times.
Very respectfully yours,
