 ACCOUNTING AND STATISTICAL REPORT AS OF 
 
 SEPTEMBER 30th, 1920, 
 
 Herewith is a report of the Commission for 
 Relief in Belgium covering the personnel, accounts and 
 statistics of the relief work for the six years of its 
 active operations. 
 
 Included in this report is an explanatory fore- 
 word on the audited accounts by Herbert Hoover, the 
 Chairman. The firm of auditors making this report was 
 engaged by the Commission on the day of its organiza- 
 tion and has continued to audit the accounts of the 
 0. R. B. until the present time. These accounts are 
 final and complete with the exception of certain minor 
 outstanding items remaining from the liquidation of 
 transactions amounting to over $923,000,000. 
 
 This report summarizes and brings to date the 
 previous annual reports of the Commission which have 
 been distributed to all governments and persons in- 
 terested and is presented that there may be available 
 a record of the relief work of this American Commission

FOREWORD 
 
 THESE statements presented by the auditors represent their summation 
 of the financial operations of the Commission during the six years, from 
 September, 1914, to September, 1920. The detailed accounting information 
 covering over 4,000 branch offices of the relief organization will require several 
 volumes for publication and, with the slender resources available, some years 
 may be needed for their issuance. 
 
 The great moral responsibility for full accounting was realized by the 
 Commission from its first day. Therefore the precaution was taken to engage 
 one of the leading international firms to audit every ramification of expenditure 
 and receipts, and to make doubly sure they were also engaged to undertake the 
 unusual task of themselves actually keeping the books and furnishing their own 
 accounting staff at all principal branches. 
 
 The Commission was born as a purely philanthropic enterprise, dependent 
 upon the charity of the world for support, conceived as a few months' emer- 
 gency service to defend 10,000,000 people from certain starvation. However, it 
 became evident that the war was not a struggle of months but of years, and 
 that if these 7,500,000 people in Belgium, 2,500,000 in Northern France were 
 to survive, it must be accomplished by much broader operation than public 
 charity. The Commission, therefore, sought and ultimately received financial 
 support from the Belgian, French, British, and later the American Governments. 
 These official advances were, by consent of the Belgian and French Govern- 
 ments, debited to them and were finally placed in the Reparations settlement 
 for preferred payment under the indemnity. The organization thus rapidly grew 
 to a great economic engine with an annual budget of over $400,000,000 in all its 
 different ramifications inside and outside of the invaded regions. Carrying 
 on its operations with the moral support of the neutral powers, it came to have 
 many attributes of a government in itself, possessing an agreed immunity from 
 the restrictions placed by belligerent powers during the war, flying its own 
 flag, issuing its own passports, operating a large fleet of ocean vessels, owning 
 and operating a great number of canal boats, extending its offices into many 
 countries, requisitioning the native food supplies, rationing the entire popula- 
 tion, making full provision for the destitute, operating mills, factories and 
 transportation, and, in fact, engaged in maintaining the whole economic cycle 
 of a nation. 
 
An understanding of the accounts requires some conception of the method 
 of the organization. A primary division in operations was established between 
 the provisioning of the population and the care of the destitute. The basic 
 theory of administration was to erect a system of food supply with all of its 
 train of handling agencies, stretching from the interior of the United States, the 
 Argentine, Australia, India, and other great food centers, focusing into Rotter- 
 dam with a distribution through chains of primary and secondary warehouses, 
 ultimately, through a ration card, reaching to the individual family, which paid 
 for the food supplied at fixed prices. Destitution grew rapidly under the occu- 
 pation and, of the 10,000,000 people, fully 5,000,000 were wholly or partially 
 destitute before the end of the war. A separate branch of administration was 
 organized for the care of these destitute giving them assistance to purchase 
 ration cards and by charitable public eating and clothing establishments. 
 Their needs necessarily extended further afield than the provision of imported 
 food and clothing — because bare living requirements necessitated supplies of 
 native foodstuffs, fuel, light, shelter, medical care, as well. The provision- 
 ing side was organized in the form of a commercial enterprise, transferring 
 its cash receipts to the benevolent side of the adminstration for the use 
 of the destitute. This plan of division greatly simplified the accounting 
 and gained the administrative values of a separate personnel more adapted 
 on one hand to commercial administration and on the other to charitable work. 
 It further made possible the exaction of a small profit from the sale of food 
 to those who could afford it, and thus swelled the resources of the benevolent 
 branch. 
 
 The whole plan of organization was a continuous chain of decentralization. 
 Purchasers were decentralized into overseas branches. Shipping control was 
 directed from London. Transportation inland to primary warehouses was 
 directed from Rotterdam. A committee was erected in each of the ten Belgian 
 Provinces and six French Districts, which may be compared to a wholesale 
 distribution. These committees in turn supplied 4,500 Communal Committees 
 which may be compared to retail distribution, they issuing food under the ration 
 cards issued on a family basis and to the public eating places for certain classes 
 of destitute. The rations were sold for cash by the Communal Committees, 
 who in turn paid cash to the Regional Committees the Regional Committees 
 paid cash to the National Committees at Brussels and Lille, and these cash 
 receipts were transferred to the benevolent side. 
 
 Three methods were employed in benevolent organization. First, existing 
 charitable institutions were supported and, in the case of children, were extended 
 to cover the whole child life of the country. Second, certain professions and 
 trades were assisted to care for the members of their professions. Third, benevo- 
 lent committees were set up in each Commune for the conduct of public eating 
 places together with provision of ration cards to the destitute and to supervise 
 
other agencies and for the care of those not otherwise reached. Overlaid upon 
 the whole structure were a series of checks and balances to determine the truth 
 as to destitution, to maintain the morale and efficiency of the administration and 
 honesty in accounting. 
 
 Thus, keeping in mind this organization, it will be found that the C. R. B. 
 accounts proper show debits to the National Committees at Brussels and Lille 
 for the value of commodities furnished to them and show credits for the amounts 
 allotted to them for benevolent purposes. At this point ends the actual balance 
 sheet of the C. R. B. The National Committees, under the direction and as the 
 agent of the C. R. B., in turn debited commodity values to the Regional and 
 Provincial Committees and credited them with benevolent allowances, and at this 
 point ends the accounting of the National Committees. Again, the Provincial 
 District and Regional Committees set up the same accounting relation with 
 the Communes. And over the whole, the C. R. B. maintained an audit, and 
 also maintained membership in the whole committee structure of these organi- 
 zations which acted as agents of the commission. In later years, the native 
 food supply had to be requisitioned and to be impressed into the system of dis- 
 tribution. These forced purchases were carried out by the Communal Com- 
 mittees for the account of the Provincial and District Committees and where 
 a proven surplus in a given commodity existed in the hands of Regional Com- 
 mittees, it sold its surplus to neighboring Provinces upon the direction of the 
 central organization. Thus, the purchases of native food supplies do not reflect 
 into the C. R. B. balance sheet, although they represent an expenditure of 
 probably $400,000,000. If time and funds permit, a balance sheet of all branch 
 offices will be consolidated and will be of interest from a historical point of 
 view showing gross purchase and sale of foods and clothing of upwards of 
 $1,300,000,000 during the period of operations. 
 
 In the balance sheets are shown certain residues of funds remaining in the 
 hands of the relief organization, accruing as a final balance after provision had 
 been made for the care of the destitute. These final residues of funds have 
 been applied at the request of the Belgian and French Governments to the 
 provision of extended foundations for charitable work, to be maintained as a 
 memorial of American help in the time of need offered through the Commission 
 for Relief in Belgium. 
 
 The principal officers of the Commission gave their services without salary 
 and in many instances paid the whole of their own incidental and traveling 
 expenses as well. Shipping firms, accountants, insurance agencies, buying 
 agencies, throughout the world gave their services without charge otherwise 
 than the mere out-of-pocket incidentals. The distributing committees of over 
 55,000 members gave their voluntary services over these many years. 40,000 
 Belgian and French women dedicated themselves to the saving of the child life 
 of their nations. Never was there greater pressure for economy and efficiency 
 upon an organization. At no time were the population fed to more than the 
 
point of bare subsistence. Every penny saved meant larger food supplies and 
 less suffering. At no time were the finances of the Commission certain for more 
 than a few months, and at different periods its liabilities were in excess of its 
 actual or prospective assets, and the continuous food supply was only maintained 
 through the personal guarantees of the directors and their friends. The total 
 administrative expenditure was held down to less than one-half of one per cent., 
 (exactly 42/100 of 1%) of the entire operation. The record of economy may 
 be extended even further than this, for the changing tides of war often required 
 the diversion of cargoes and sales of foodstuffs outside of Belgium to meet 
 emergency readjustment of purchases or supplies whose shipment or distribu- 
 tion had already been arranged. Upon these and similar transactions entirely 
 outside of Belgium and France a balance of profit of over nine and one-half 
 million dollars was earned, several times greater than all overhead expenditures. 
 From these profits on outside operations the Commission, first, paid its entire 
 administration and overhead expenses ; second, paid over to the Benevolent 
 Department some $2,600,000 for charitable distribution in Belgium and France ; 
 and third, as at 30th September 1920, still held available for Relief work in 
 those countries and to meet the expense of Liquidation approximately $3,120,000 
 — since that date largely distributed. The economy of operation in the organi- 
 zation has, in fact, even a higher standard of test than this, in that the average 
 prices maintained for food supplies in this occupied territory during the entire 
 period of war will show from 15 to 20 per cent, less than the prices in the Allied 
 countries at the same periods. 
 
 No set of accounts or figures can reflect the intense anxiety, the patience 
 and skill required of the 55,000 volunteers who toiled in this complex agency, 
 defending ten million lives. Inspired with humane sympathy for these people, 
 who, having no responsibility for the war, suffered most from its hardships 
 and barbarities, they labored that this service might be done efficiently and 
 with economy. It is to their unflagging devotion that we are now able to publish 
 exact figures of accountability for funds, and to trace each ton of food from 
 the place of purchase to the ultimate consumer among the civil population of 
 the invaded regions. Surrounded by terror and suffering this multitude had but 
 little concern for the bookkeepers in the back rooms of the 4,000 branch oflaces 
 of the relief organization. It was of the utmost concern, however, to those in 
 official direction, not only that the work might be effectively performed and pre- 
 sented to the world, but that our honor and the honor of our country in this 
 trusteeship should never be challenged.
