THAT CHRISTMAS DINNER

It is safe to say that not one of Harvard's fifteen hundred undergraduates will go without a Christmas dinner a week from tomorrow; most of them will probably overeat.

But in other parts of the world we learn that there are not hundreds but many millions of people who will go without their Christmas dinners; most of them will probably starve. Reports from central and southeastern Europe and from China all tell the same tale.

In the adjoining column Professor William Roscoe Thayer calls attention to a practical way of keeping a clear conscience while you eat that dinner on December 25. Mr. Hoover has consented to act as Santa Claus in Europe. Back him up.
