Memorandum

The Allied Relief Fund grew out of The American Society for French and British Medical Civilian Relief. It was founded by a group of Wall Street Bankers headed by Mr. Winthrop Aldrich, in December 1939. It could only be Medical and Civilian relief as United States was neutral. It was founded originally for concern about The American Hospital in Paris. As Executive Secretary for the French Aid I had to close the French Office the day after Paris fell to the Germans in 1940 but before the Germans arrived in Paris, we were able to get a good donation of money to a very worthy clinic in Paris which promoted the grateful letter, copy of which is attached.

THIS ISLE, THIS ENGLAND...

What is this England for which Allied Relief Fund has asked you to
gather tonight?

Why are its people the object of the present moment's special solicitude?

Why is money sought to be sent to England's people?

The answer is this: In fortune and misfortune, England and its people are a country and a people having much in common with ourselves. Its men and women, like ourselves, share a common culture and tongue. They have aspirations and faith that are the same as our own. Theirs is the living spirit of free men and women; they, like ourselves, hold a code that is expressed in ideals of liberty, justice, mercy and truth.

Like ourselves, the people of England have learned to love those ideals. Like ourselves, they have come to cherish them in their hearts and souls, even to the point of fighting for them when necessary, and dying for them.

In one important detail they and we are unlike tonight.

Tonight, at this moment, while we are privileged to speak of our ideals, and in peace and security to live by them, *they are fighting and dying for them*. The supreme issue has been raised whether the spirit by which they have lived can be saved, and they are repeating again the lines of Wordsworth,

> "We must be free or die who speak the tongue
> That Shakespeare spake, the faith and morals hold
> Which Milton held."

Our gathering tonight, then, is that of a group of American men and women who wish, in the fullest possible sense compatible with American neutrality laws, to show good-will and give expression to their admiration for a people oversea who are meeting an assault upon a supreme issue—upon the ideals which are theirs and ours in common. It is to pay tribute to the courage of a nation of men, women and children—a courage that, in words spoken by Bishop Manning at the Cathe- (Continued on Page 54)

Their Majesties the King and Queen: with the humblest of their
subjects, they stand on the firing line of world democracy...

**A Message of Appreciation:** The generous public response to the appeals of Allied Relief Fund have been most encouraging. From the spontaneous gift of pennies, made by a group of Sunday School children, to the substantial donations of individuals, foundations, and corporations, these contributions represent America's way of helping—freely and from the heart. They are in keeping with the ideals which are the heritage of our country. For those whom these gifts have aided, for the men, women, and children who from these gifts have received new hope, we of Allied Relief Fund express our grateful thanks.—

Winthrop W. Aldrich, President of Allied Relief Fund.

THE ISSUES

A sermon delivered at the Cathedral of St. John the
Divine by the Rt. Rev. William T. Manning, Bishop

THE world today is filled with suffering, dismay, and dread. A power has arisen which seeks to destroy the very elements of civilized life, which mocks at justice, honor, and truth among men, which has already crushed the free and peace-loving peoples of Europe, and which treatens Liberty and Christianity.

Here in the United States we are forced to become an armed camp and to embark upon unparalleled measures of defence against Hitlerism and that for which Hitlerism stands. And while we prepare for our defence the people of Great Britain, left standing alone, are meeting the full fury of this evil assault.

There have been barbarian invasions in the past but never one like this one which defies the common conscience of mankind and is equipped for its wicked purposes with all the resources of modern science.

This is a war against Justice, against Liberty, and against Christianity itself. Where Democracy holds sway Christian influences are free to exert themselves and Christian principles have free scope. Under the Nazi system Christian principles are mocked at and rejected, Christian influences are stifled and suppressed, Racial and Religious persecution is shamelessly propagated, and the Pagan principle of blood superiority and racial supremacy is imposed by brutal and ruthless force. This inhuman assault is not only upon Jews, it is upon Christians as well and as instances of this, and of the Christian heroism with which it is being met and suffered, I cite the names of Pastor Niemöller and Cardinal Faulhaber.

This is a struggle in which no Christian, and no true American, can be neutral. In this great moral and spiritual conflict we cannot be neutral in heart and mind, and we cannot rightly be neutral in action.

Speaking as a citizen of this land, and also as a Bishop of the Christian Church, I say that it is our duty to give our immediate

tember 29, 1940. Reprinted by special permission.

aid, without stint or limit, in every form available, to the people of Great Britain who are giving their lives and all that they have in this battle which is ours as truly as it is theirs.

For the sake of humanity, for the sake of our own land, and for the sake of our own souls as true men, we must do our part in this great crisis. In this struggle all that we cherish and hold sacred is involved. It is a war against culture, against religion, against the sacred inherent rights of men, against all enlightened human progress. If the forces of Hitlerism prevail the world will go back to darkness, despotism, and human degradation.

The ideal of democracy is individual liberty, mercy, truth, and sacredness of each human personality, justice between man and man and between nation and nation. These are the Christian ideals and these ideals the dictators scorn and trample in the dust. We know that there is much to be done to make democracy more truly Christian and to make this world a better place for all men. But the duty now forced upon us is to check this monstrous evil.

And so we send to our brethren in the Ancient Church of England and to all our brethren in Great Britain the expression of our unbounded admiration and our whole-souled appreciation of the sublime courage with which they are withstanding this assault, a courage which sheds fresh honour upon the British race and is an example to the world, and with this message we send our promise that as Christians and Americans we will do everything in our power to urge our government to give our immediate aid.

We believe that it is the will of God that this unexampled force of evil now threatening the world shall be stopped and suppressed. And we offer up our prayers for our brethren in Great Britain that they may be sustained, strengthened, and upheld in their great struggle for all that is sacred in human life, and for ourselves as a nation that we may do our true part.

23

WE shall not flag. We shall not fail. We shall fight in France, and on the seas and oceans. We shall fight with growing strength in the air. If invaded, we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender. Even if a large part of Great Britain be subjugated and starving, then the Empire beyond the Seas will carry on the battle.

Winston Churchill, June 4, 1940

Ambulances, and surgical vans are necessary to a nation pounded by the air bombardment of total war. American Ambulance, Great Britain, has in England 260 vehicles ready for operation wherever men, women and children suffer bombing attacks. The vehicles, paid for with American funds, are 106 Ambulances, 54 Surgical Units, 50 Surgical First Aid Vans, and 50 Personnel Wagons. The urgent need for continued operation is apparent. To cover the cost adequately for twelve months $600,000 is needed. Less than half of this amount has been secured. Allied Relief Fund is seeking the balance.

AMERICA'S NEW ROLE
IN FASHION

By Mrs. Edna Woolman Chase, Editor-in-Chief, Vogue

When Lord Byron remarked years ago, "I awoke one morning and found myself famous," he pretty accurately expressed the state of mind of the American fashion industry this year. The American fashion industry awoke one morning last June and found itself the fashion center of the world.

Whether or not we were ready to pick up the torch that France had dropped, we had to pick it up. The responsibility is thrust on American shoulders. And just how able those shoulders are is the subject of passionate discussion. Everybody in New York, literally everybody, is agitated about it, discusses it exhaustively.

But while all this talk, talk, talk about "Can America design?" has been going on, the American designers are quietly going on designing. And the clothes charming, wearable, and original. Traces of Paris can be seen in some, for America freely admits its great debt to France. But just as many have a definite and recognizable quality of our very own.

With the severance of all ties, America must now stand on its own feet, rely entirely upon its own resources. And those resources are limitless. Imagination is here . . . talent, energy, and a wish for real excellence. Eyes are combing our own land, our own people, our own regional cultures for ideas. Fabric makers are beginning to work hand in hand with designers; accessory makers beginning to cooperate in every way.

For the first time, too, New York is properly cast for the world, it breathes freely, pursues a sophisticated life. The fashionables of the world are here—women without whose approval no fashion becomes an authoritative fashion. All of these women must now be dressed in America, and their inspiration is of incalculable value to the fashion industry.

To date, the interval since the fall of France has been so brief that it is unfair to expect the stamp of individualism to have thoroughly asserted itself. Time is necessary to shed the old order, and put on the new. One never realizes how strong and self-reliant a shoulder can be until responsibility is put upon it.

6. Support of British Children

Allied Relief Fund is seeking contributions that can
be spent in the special direction of children orphaned by
the war. The need for aid for these children is con-
the war. The need for aid is constantly growing.

7. Support of Personal Service League

Allied Relief Fund contributions have been expended
for general relief work in Great Britain chiefly through
the Personal Service League of London, headquarters of
which are in Dudley House, contributed for the pur-
pose by Lady Ward. Clothing, medical supplies and
other relief materials which Allied Relief Fund sent
to Great Britain, as principal and as agent for other
relief organizations, have been widely distributed.

8. Clothing and Surgical Dressings

Allied Relief Fund each week sends to Great Britain
large amounts of second-hand, warm clothing, con-
tributed by Americans. The demand is unlimited and
winter approaches. A few days ago a cable from Lon-
don said, "Please concentrate appeal on all manner of
warm clothing of all sizes, underclothes, shoes, stock-
ings, blankets, suits, sweaters, and overcoats."

The Surgical Dressing Division has to date send
abroad well over 200,000 surgical dressings, together
with large quantities of gauze, blankets, sheets, sweaters,
pajamas, and hospital supplies.

9. Agencies with which Allied Relief Fund
Works in England

Following is a list of the agencies in Great Britain
which to date have distributed help sent from the United
States by Allied Relief Fund. All these agencies are
administered by private citizens and are not under the
direction of the British Government: American Ambu-
lance, Great Britain; American Hospital in Britain, Ltd.;
British Over-Seas League; British Red Cross; Daily
Sketch Fund; Depot for Knitted Garments for the Royal
Navy; English Speaking Union; Friends of the Fight-
ing Forces; International Commission for Assistance of
Child Refugees; International Committee for Refugees
of France; King George's Fund for Seamen; Mechan-
ized Transport Corp.; Personal Service League; Royal
Merchant Navy School; Scottish Red Cross; Ship-
wrecked Fisherman and Mariners' Royal Benevolent So-
ciety: The Soldiers', Sailors' and Airmen's Families
Association; Toe H; War Emergency Committee for the
Children of the Fighting Forces; Y.M.C.A.

NATIONAL DEFENSE

Industry's No. 1 Job

by Westinghouse

* There's probably no single subject attracting more interest today than our National Defense program. Everyone wants to know the progress American industry is making in producing huge stores of guns, planes, ships, tanks and munitions.

* Right now, several of our plants are working at top speed producing gun equipment and other machines which you would never find in the catalog of the thousands of products we manufacture. And very soon our production facilities will be substantially increased with the completion of fifteen new buildings in six different states.

* But the manufacture of these emergency products is only a part of the equipment our company is supplying. The electrical products that we build are a vital necessity in the National Defense program. Our long experience in designing and building practically every known electrical product is now being utilized to the limit by both government and industry alike.

* Our plants are working night and day to fill orders for millions of dollars worth of electrical equipment —equipment such as turbines for marine service; motors and control equipment for cargo ships; motors and generators for submarine tenders; generators and X-Ray equipment for the Army; radio equipment for all the Services; Seadrome contact lights for naval air bases; distribution and instrument trans-

formers for shipbuilding yards; Ignitron rectifiers, multiple arc welders, meters, lighting equipment, Micarta and scores of other products, all are wanted in a hurry by other manufacturers who are working on important defense orders.

* In addition to filling these orders, we have still others from the more than 100,000 dealers and wholesalers who sell our home electrical products and Mazda Lamps.

* All of these are orders that must be filled. For neither we, nor any of our industry partners, can afford to permit any bottleneck or business stalemate to occur because of lack of the equipment that we supply. We must constantly bear in mind, too, that even greater demands will be made on us tomorrow.

* One of the most important things our company has done to assure efficient fulfillment of all these demands is the creation of an Emergency Products Division. Through the work of this division we are maintaining full concentration on defense problems, but in ways that least affect the important production of our regular electrical lines.

* National Defense is most certainly a tall order for every company. And we at Westinghouse, like all American Industry, consider it the most important order in our history.

In November, 1906, when a tyrant had overrun Europe and Great Britain was the last remnant of Liberty on that continent, the Post Wordsworth wrote:-

"Another year! — another deadly blow!"

Another mighty Empire overthrown!

And We are left, or shall be left, alone;

The last that dare to struggle with the Foe;

"Tis well from this day forward we shall know;

That in ourselves our safety must be sought;

That by our own right hands it must be wrought;

That we must stand unpropped, or be laid low;

O dastard whom such fornicate doth not cheer,

We shall exult, if they who rule the land

Be men who hold its many blessings dear,

Wise, upright, valiant, not a servile band,

Who are to judge of danger which they fear,

And honour which they do not understand."

develop here must be American. It must be devoted to our way of life—to the way we are—to what we want for the money we have to spend.

We have fine craftsmen here—wonderful people have recently come over from Europe to add to the wonderful people we already have here. Beautiful things can be made here if these craftsmen are directed. To direct them technical knowledge and taste is needed.

Taste can be taught. It is not God-given. I've watched the models who pose for us. Little girls from small towns, coming to New York wearing dowdy dresses. After a year of modeling in good clothes, they learn good taste.

There are of course several layers of taste, but some of it can certainly be taught.

If you don't understand bad taste, you won't understand good taste. You must understand all tastes, to have good taste. Good taste is just the final selection.

Dressmaking is not an art, but it can use artists. Dressmaking is needles, thread, fatigue, cutting, inspiration. It's working over a line until it comes clean. We don't need artiness but we do need artists. And, these artists must be given time.

With the output of clothing at a low ebb because of the necessary manufacture of khaki clothing for the services and balloon-barrage and parachute fabric, clothing sent to England comes as a godsend. Wood is rapidly turned into knitted comforts in the various colors of the services, as well as for the civilian population and refugees from the other Allied countries.

## Surgical Dressing Unit of Allied Relief Fund

Incessant air bombardment of England has greatly increased the need of hospital supplies—a need which is being met by the Surgical Dressing Unit of Allied Relief Fund under the chairmanship of Mrs. Clark H. Minor.

The Surgical Dressing Unit was formed in October, 1939, by Mrs. Minor to supply surgical dressings to American Hospital of Paris. Since the fall of France, however, the unit has concentrated its efforts in sending supplies to hospitals in Britain.

When Dr. Philip D. Wilson and his surgical unit of eleven embarked for England, aboard the same ship were 70 large cases of hospital necessities donated by the
