which will be presented to congress
when 1t convenes Monday. A large
amount of data on precedents and gen.
orally regarding the aid that Is being
rushed from various quarters to south
ern Italy and the means of getting
succor to the victims had been pre.
pared FOR the president and was con-
sidered carefully by him.
Inc data prepared by the president
showed that in the Mont Pelee catas.
trophe the government Appropriated
$20OO0O for the relief OF the suffer.
ers. A committee of distinguished
citizens was designated to visit the
scene and disburse the money. A
similar plan appealed very strongly to
the president, certain notifications be.
ing suggested, such as the selection of
Americans now in Italy or delegation
OF the American ambassador or agents
or the American Red Cross to attend
the disbursement of the money. The
question which the president first
sought to determine was, whether aid
given In this way would not reach the
sufferers sooner than by means of the
naval supply ships now on the Allan
tic, but many days sail from Sicily
and southern Italy.
