In concluding a report made to the State Department in April on the
famine conditions Mr. Huntington Wilson, Charge d’Affaires, says:
“Americans may well feel pride in the splendid work done by the foreign
committee at Sendai of which the great majority, Dr. DeForest, Mr. W.
E. Lampe, the Rev. C. S. Davidson, Mr. M. B. Madden, and Mr. William
Axling, are citizens of the United States. The work of these men, and
the donations from the United States collected by the _Christian Herald_
and through the Red Cross Society, are like the President’s humanitarian
appeal, highly appreciated in Japan.
“While the prompt assistance rendered has doubtless been of great value
in alleviating suffering, and as a fine example of humanitarianism there
is no doubt that the Japanese Government and people can now themselves
readily cope with the needs of the final months of the famine.”
As the American people were ready and glad to aid Japan in the day of
her trouble so promptly has she turned to our help when calamity came
to us in the disaster in California and as will be noted in the report
of the work done there the Japanese Red Cross has sent to the American
National Red Cross one hundred and ten thousand dollars ($110,000.00)
for the California sufferers, and for this generous contribution the
American people and especially those of California are most grateful and
appreciative.
