A combined budget of 35 million dollars outlines obligations if the National War Work Council accepts invitations from military authorities to serve soldiers in the Russian French and Italian armies. The estimates stem from careful fact gathering by experienced men and aim to cover five deeds under one campaign, reducing the need for multiple campaigns and agencies. The fund protects the American public and prevents duplication through a single supervisory structure.
