Roosevelt
Urges Red
Cross Support

The effects of the catastrophe
which has overtaken the people of
Chile becomes hourly more serious.
The need for hospital supplies food
and clothing IS imperative. Perhaps
prompt and practical help that may
further strengthen the magnificent
morale shown by a people afflicted
by an appalling calamity
1t is desirable not only TO make
the best effort we can to help our
friends and neighbors who are in
distress. but to make this effort in
the most effective way. Therefore
| urge all those individuals, institu-
tions and organizations whose SYM
pathies are aroused by the grief and
suffering of thousands of individuals
in Chill to coordinate their efforts
and to make their contributions
through the American Red Cross
which, from the outset of this dis
aster, has been giving assistance
through its sister society. the CHILEAN
Red Cross.
Some days ago | instructed the
United States Army and Navy to
cooperate in every practical way
Since medicines and other hospital
supplies are of paramount import
anee. | am glad TO say that United
States Army planes have already
landed IN Chill with emergency
medical supplies. This cooperation
on the part of this government will
be continued.
In accordance with their tradi-
tional practice, the American peo-
pie will surely wish to give such as
sistance as they can to peoples of
other lands who are in distress, par
ticularly when, as in the present
case, those suffering from disaster
are the nationals of an American
republic bound to the people of the
United States by close ties of UNI
derstanding and of friendship. The
Gillian disaster is of such tragic
/ proportions as to merit the most
prompt and generous response from
the American public.
