DESCRIPI'ION OF PROJECTS IN PROPOSED BUDGEr

FOR PERIOD FR0!'-1 OCTOBER 1, 1945 TO SEPI'EMBER 30, 1946, INCLUSIVE

l. Material Aid to Luxembourg

Because of Nazi occupation for over four desperate years, o~~y now is it possible to send Llaterial aid to Luxembourg, a bravo little nation whose resistance to our conmon one~ and loyalty to tho Allied cnuse were at all times, although under perilous conditions, unquestionable. Organization both hero and abroad has now been conplotod, shipping arrangooonts advanta­geously consumnnted, rapid and efficient delivery with non-discrininatory distribution of supplies assured.

Consequently, Friends of Luxembourg, whoso share up to tho present in the National \far Fund ha.s been infinitesimal, io contenplating for tho year 1946 a relief progrm~ on a far noro anbitious scale than a.ny assistance it has rondcrod in the past.

As to tho urgency of tho need, no doubt con bo entertained. Liberation has found tho people of Luxembourg without clothes, without food ond in tho most deplorable physical condition. A progron is contonplatod for next yoc:r which will a.dr.J.inister to all thcoc noodo.

(a) Clothing Progr~ $150,000

AB for clothing, thoro vr:.ll bo no duplication of tho supplies distributed out of tho United National Clothing Collection for Friends of Luxonbourg will pla.co enphasis on blankets, under­weer, warn apparel and i tous not gonora.lly collectible in large quantities by a clothing drive. Aloe, we plan t0 sond new clothing o.s against eccond-ho.nd gurnonts, IJ.Ost of which will need repairing ru1d tho valuo of a. largo port of lvhich is quostiono.blo. Furthornoro, our plans for purchasing, ohipping and distrtbuting arc conplote and it is feared that tho UNCC clothing, boca.uso of tho unavoidable delay incident to inter­gcvernnontal shipping and distribution, will not be generally a.va.ila.blo to tho people for ~ nonths. Tho nocd is a.n in­ncclia.to one and it is with thio in oind that we request a fund of $150,000 with which to purchase clothing, unier and outer, f or non, woncn ond children.

(b) Nutri t iona.l Progro.n $150,000

Reports fran tho Luxo~bourg Foreign Office indicate that the food oupply is woefully insufficient after tho systo~~tic pilla(Sing c·rgc.nizcd by the rutreating Gornan c.rnies. Li vo stock wo.G reduced by 50% o.nd ovor 65% of the ho.rvost for 1945 wc.o lent. Thirty to forty thousand producers have bccono conmmors, o.nd flour rcoorvos c.nd other basic food stoclcs nrc conplotcly oxhnustcd. Out of 21 flour nills, only sovon

- 2 -

remain. Because of the loss of seeds, plough horses and agri­cultural implements, tho harvest for next year is also gravely endangered. To supplement existing food supply programs, which of necessity are ccmpletely inadequate, a budget of $150,000 is requested with which to purchase and ship foods such as evaporated and dried milk, orange juice, dehydrated soups, cereals, canned meats, and similar products high in protein and caloric content.

(c) Modi cD.l Pr_?~ $150,000

Because of tho inndoquucy of tho food supply oince the invasion in Mo.y, 1940, the people of Luxembourg ho.vo been a. ready prey to all diseases such o.o tuberculosis, rickets, ate. stemming from a. starvation diet. In o.ddition, epidomico of contagious diooaoos have apDcnrod, ca.usod by tho innumerable cadnvors of men and cattle beneath tho ruins.

~~thorruoro, over 20,000 Luxembo1~gers exo returning from Germany, 7, 000 oi' whom boar tho ravages of Go:t'Il3Il concontrn tion camps, with c."l. additional 8,500 who are scarcely alive after four yoors in Gvrrwn L[',bor Service.

To h~ston tho physical rehabilitation of these peoples, a. budget of $150,000 is requested to purchaso and ship hospital equipment, photo-rountgen X-ray tmi ts, drugs, biologicals and all othor osaentia.l nodica.l supplies.

(d) Wa.ro~oucing and ShJpping $25,000
