ing from Americans, direct to
the Italian people, would lift the
Italian morale an dhelp unite Italy
behind the Allies.
Sanction Required
To raise money for foreign
country in wartime requires state
department sanction. Representa-
tives of the state department
studied the personnel of the en-
larged national committee and then
withheld approval. They wanted to
bar Generoso Pope, publisher of a
large Italian newspaper, because he
was once decorated by Mussolini and
was considered therefore, pro-Fas-
cist. The state department proposed
in his pluace, Winthrop Aldrich of
the Chase National bank and
Thomas Lamont of j. P. Morgan &
Co. Lo and behold, it was then dis
covered that both Ald3ich and La
mont had also been decorated by
Mussolini.
The dispute has now dragged
along without satisfactory agree
ment being reached. Naturally, the
local committee is hamstrung be-
cause without permission and CO.
operation of the state department,
funds and help canont be furnished.
The more time is wasted, the less
effective will be the uplift to italian
morale, the urge for the INTO help
the Allies, and instead you will find
an apathetic populace who won't
know which side to turn to.
After a thorough study of the Sit
uation, the officers of the local COM
mittee,( who are representations Of
all classes from radical to reaction
airy, decided that for the time being
the only action it can take is to
strongly urge everyone and all Or
carnations, local, state, and national
to write to their congressman, their
senator, the state department at
Washington and to our president,
respectfully requesting that the
matter of the make up of the Ma
tional American Committee for re-
lief to Italy be settled at once.
Pressure Urged
If enough pressure is brought to
bear to bring about quick deci-
sion, the committees all over the
country can go to work, raise the
necessary funds, and the American
forces in Italy will distribute this
food and colthing to the Italians

headed by Joseph L. Manganaro,
as permanent general chairman,
several weeks before the formation
Of the national committee.
Thousands of patriotic Americans
of Italian descent, anxious to get
