Red Cross Expendi
tures For War Relief
Over $47,000,000
American Red Cross expendi
tures for war relief abroad
amounted to more than
$47,000,000 up to the end of June,
Mr. W. H. Ferguson chairman of
McCormick County Red Cross
Chapter, announced today. In
cluded in that total are supplies
valued at more than $25,000,030
which were purchased by Federal
Agencies for distribution by the
Red Cross. The remainder was
given through the Red Cross
special war relief fund contributed
by the American people last year;
and includes the value of Chap
ter produced articles.
Mr. Ferguson emphasized that
this war relief fund is quite dis
tinct from the membership funds
received at Roll Call, on which the
Red Cross depends for the sup
port of its many activities at
home, such as disaster relief, serv
ice to the #rmed forces, public
health, and home nursing, life
saving and accident prevention
instruction.
Pointing out that relief had
previously been made available, to
the extent that war time condi
tions would permit, to Poland,
Norway, Belgium, Greece, the
Netherlands and Yugoslavia, Mr.
Ferguson said that in recent
months American Red Cross War
Relief has been distributed to
Great Britain, the British Middle
East, China, France, Finland and
Spain.
More than $25,000,000 worth of
j relief has been made available to
the British people, with American
Red Cross supplies, chiefly in the
I form of clothing and medical sup-
! plies, still going across the At
lantic at the rate- of about six
shipments every week.
Supplies of milk, vitamins and
clothing were distributed to chil-
! dren only in Unoccupied France,
i and limited quantities of medical
I supplies have been sent for gen
eral distribution under American
Red Cross supervision, but no sup
plies have been sent to France
since April 17, Mr. Ferguson said,
and none to Finland since May
29.
On the other hand, relief opera
tions in China are being con
ducted on an ever-increasing
scale, Mr. Ferguson reported.
Wheat, rice, and vitally needed
medical supplies to the value of
close to $3,000,000 have already
been sent to Free China.
No war relief is being distributed
