sent to the American Red Cross a check

The Island of Rota had been taken
from the Germans by the Japanese, and
the wartime conditions, which killed
trade, rapidly reduced many of the
poorer people to starvation condi-
ton. The attention of the Navy De-
partment was brought to their plight

American Red Cross. through the CO.
operation of the Navy Department, au-
thoriZed by cable the loading of relief
stores on the L. S. S. Supply, just leav-
ing Manila for Guam, this vessel being
ordered to stop at Rota and discharge
the Red Cross food.
After doing this the American Red
Cross notified the Japanese Red Cross
of the receipt of the appeal. and they
at once notified the Japanese govern
ment of the conditions in Rota.

IF l were to give you all the reports

you that 100000 speeches of a member
of Congress were once sent to an

an organization to boost a high pro-
tective tariff, and that the government
paid for the folding, for the envelope
printing and for the ranking through
the mails. you would have a hint of
the possibilities of abuse of the frank

alleged distribution of a million and
