Canadian United Allied Relief Fund campaign appeal
Mr William M Birks of Montreal spoke at C.U.A.R.F headquarters outlining a national campaign to pool eleven relief efforts into one drive. The plan, approved by the government, pairs with The Canadian Red Cross Society to fund food clothing and medicines for Belgium Norway Greece Poland Russia China Yugoslavia Czechoslovakia France Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The appeal highlights Canadian Euro-originants’ role and wartime sacrifice while noting private donations fund the effort. Canada’s 1944 fishery output totals about 195 million pounds with large allocations to UNRRA and relief efforts in liberated areas and priority exports to the UK and other nations.
