NAME .. ........... ADDRESS Dr. Frankel Says More Than 4,000,000 in Europe Must Start Life Anew. REPORTS 350,000 KILLED IN ABOUT 2,200 POGROMS Conditions of Jewish People Residing in Soviet Russia. Little Known of NEW YORK—How to reconstruct their devastated lives is the great problem now facing more than 4,- 000,000 Jews in Europe, outside of Russia, said Dr. Lee K. Frankel, speaking as chairman of the special commission sent abroad last June by the American Jewish Relief Commit. tee, of which Louis Marshall is chair- man. In his verbal report to the Joint Distribution Committee Dr. Frankel said that the problem facing the Jews in Europe affects more than 7,000,- 000 people in all. Little is known of real conditions In Russia, according to Dr. Frankel, who said that 350,000 Jews had been killed in at least 2,200 pogroms, and that tens of thousands have since died of starvation. Dr. Frankel, who is third ivce-pres- ident of the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Company, and who was welfare director of the Postoffice Department when Will hays was Postmaster Gen- eral, returned several days ago from Poland. The other members of the commission, David A. Brown, David M. Bressler, Morris Wolf, Dr. Milton J. Resenau and Samuel J. Goldsmith, are still in Europe completing the Commission Divides Work. The commission went abroad last June and spent nearly two months investigating the conditions under which the Jews are attempting to again live normal lives. England, Germany, Austria, Poland and prac- tically all the other countries In which the Joint Distribution Commit- tee has bene active, were visited. Dr. Resenau and Mr. Wolf are now in Russia, investigating the condi- tions affecting more than 3,000,000 Jewish people. In order to cover more ground, the party was split up and while Mr. Bressler, Mr. Wolf and Dr. Resenau visited Brest-Litovsk and Rovno and towns between, Dr. Frankel and Mr. Goldsmith visited Vilna. Later, all met in conference in Warsaw. From there, Dr. Resenau and Mr. Wolf went to Lithuania and Latvia, leav- ing from Riga for Russia. They ex- pect to leave Russia shortly for New York by way of Constantinople. Mr. Bressler and Mr. Goldsmith went down into Chernawitz in the Buko- wine, then to Kishinev, Jassy, Bu- charest and other Roumanian towns, thence to Constantinople, and back to Vienna, headquarters of the Joint Distribution Committee which is dis- tribtiting the American relief. Brown to Go to Russia. Dr. Frankel traveled to Rovna, visiting in turn Dubno, Radziwillow, Brody, Lemberg, Cracow and other Galician towns. With Mr. Brown he went to Budapest. Mr. Brown went on to Warsaw and visited points in l'oland, and before his return to this country he will investigate conditions in Czecho-Slovakia and Russia. "There are vitally important prob- lems facing the Jews in Europe," said Dr. Frankel, "and those problems affect more than 7,000,000 Jewish people, of whom at least 3,000,000 are in Russia. The relief given by the Joint Distribution Committee is only sufficient to care for about 10,- 000 war orphans in Poland, while at least 20,000 of these unfortunate children must be provided fur during the next four or five years. It costs about $5 a month, or about $100 a year, to care for a child, and, as these children grow up, the amount will be gradually decreased. Aboitt. 2,000 children in the other countries of Europe, not including Russia, are being cared for by the committee and this number ought to be doubled if riot quadrupled. Outside of Poland, comparatively little has been done for the war orphans. "Apart from the vital aid being given orphans, the medical program of the committee is going ahead as fast as funds will allow. The erec- tion and repair of public baths is highly important, particularly in the smaller communities, and I find that close to 250 more baths must be re- built. The importance of these baths cannot be over-estimated. More X- ray stations most be established, as well as special schools for the educa- tion and training of nurses. It is most encouraging to note the splen- did work of the American doctors connected with the committee, some of whom have been at their posts for more than a year at • time without relief. Several have gone through typhus epidemics. The story of their sacrifices is most inspiring. To Start Life Anew.

The work will be continued by a new organiza- tion, the American-Austrian Relief Work for children, which has been created by the Austrian government. The A. R.
