suredly, He Says, We Should
Do Our Part.

urgent appeal has been made for the
assistance of the United States.
Our people have often under SINH
lar conditions Of distress in other
countries responded generously to
such appeals. Amid our abounding
prosperity, and in this holiday season
of good will to man, assuredly we
should do our part to aid the unfortu-
nate and relieve the distressed among
the people of China, to whom We have
been allied for some many years in
friendship and kindness.
81 shall ask congress upon it's next
day of session for authority to use our
transport. vessels to carry flour and
other food to the famine-stricken re-
glon.
Il recommend that contributions for
the purchase of such food and other
appropriate relief be sent to the Amer
lean National Red Cross, which will
take care of the expenditures.
Such contributions may be made
either through the local Red Cross
treasurers, or through the department
of state, or may be sent directly to
Mr.. Charles Hallam Keep, Red Cross
treasurer. United States treasury de-
