The following is a cablegram from
Mr. Hoover to Mr. Davidson:
Henry P. Davidson,
Chairman Red Cross War Council,
Washington, D. C.
The ten millions imprisoned
people in occupied Belgium and
France are lacing shame, suffer
ing, disease, and some of them
death, for lack of clcthing this
winter. They must be helped. I
hope that the Red Cross will un
dertake a renewed campaign to
obtain this clothing in America.
It can come ,bnly from us. Your
first campaign yielded niagnifl-
cent results, bringing in fully 5,-
000 tons of clothing in'good con
dition. But much mere is need
ed these war-ravaged people
are to get through the winter in
decency and safety. In the face
of brutal coercion and spiritual
suffering they remain splendidly
courageous. This courage chal
lenges our charity. Let us match
the courage of Belgium by the
generosity or America.
