Description
Correspondence, memoranda, reports, statements, pamphlets, serial issues, and photographs, relating to attempts to organize
and secure international agreement for a civilian relief program for Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Poland
during World War II.
Background
The presidential election over, we determined that the only
way relief could be brought to the women, children, and destitute in
the small democracies was to awaken public opinion in the neutral
countries to the inconsequential dangers from our proposals. Both the
British and Germans were sensitive to neutral opinions. They needed
actual support from the neutrals, or at least the continued neutrality
of these nations.
