Red Cross Leads Japan Relief Drive Amid Continued Suffering
The American Red Cross under Judge Payne and Secretary Hoover mobilized rapid relief for Japan after the earthquake and tidal wave. Within four days $3.5 million in subscriptions and $2.66 million in committed aid funded ships and supplies. President Coolidge backed the effort as the needs of homeless adults and orphans grew, with additional ships and commodities on the way.
