Mr.
Flaten
told
how
48c
out
of
every
dollar
of
Red
Cross
money
was
now
being
used
to
provide
parcels
of
food
and
clothing
for
prisoners
of
war.
He
described
the
machinery
which
ensured
that
these
parcels
reached
their
destination.
This
was
through
Oreat
Britain
and
via
Portugal
and
Switzerland
to
Germany
and
Italy.
A
very
effective
means
of
distribution
had
been
set
up.
Eleven
pounds
of
food
each
week
was
sent
to
each
prison
er
and
the
loss
was
negligible
at
only
one
parcel
out
of
every
1250.
Arrangements
were
also
being
made
through
the
Red
Cross
for
provision
of
medical
supplies
an1
instruments
and
educational
and
recreational
facilities
for
these
prisoners.
The
speaker
went
on
to
tell
how
the
Red
Cross
was
using
$3,000,uuo
for
hospital
and
other
supplies.
Also
there
was
to
be
$1,500,000
for
disaster
relief.
In

to

Mr.

was

Mr.
