Washington Letter: Red Cross aid and Cape Town spillover
The National Red Cross writes from Galveston of relief to mainland destitute counties, the governor’s $100,000 share, and concerns over misdirected supplies. Other dispatches note Americans stranded in South Africa, need for funds, and limits on consular relief. Plans for the capital centennial include parades with veterans groups and addresses by Senators McComas and Payne. The missionary question in China calls for calm consideration amid looming allied settlement safeguards.
