The Why Of 1t
Privote Agencies
Supplement UNRRA

fQuestions and ansWers sup
piled by the Community War
FUND.-
@. What is there for private
agencies affiliated with the Commu-
nifty War Fund to do where UNRRA
is functioning?
A. The private agencies serve as
distributors of clothing collected by
UNRRA, when a particular govern
ment cannot distribute the clothing
among the people who need it most
The private agencies set up soup
kitchens in bombed-out towns; dis
tribute such supplemental food
items as canned milk and vitamins ::
operate orphanageS and homes for
the aged and for disabled war vet
erans-services not included in the
UNRRA program. UNRRA will
provide general food stocks, the
greater proportion of which will be
distributed through regular trade
channels. For this food, the in
digent will receive cards enabling
them to buy at token prices.
Private agencies are setting up
hospitals and medical clinics in the
most devastated areas of countries
which lack medical facilities, while
UNRRA will sponsor large sanitation
and preventive medicine projects
and will furnish medicines.
The Presidents War Relief Con-
troll Board sees to it that none of
these propects conflict. This board
checks every item in the National
War Fund budget to be sure that
it meets three conditions. The item
must be something that would net
otherwise be done, that can be ac-
,omplished efficiently. and that will
meet real need. The board, head
cd by Ambassador Joseph E. Davies,
obtains its information on relief
needs from an advisory committee
