This work comprised only two of the relief measures which have been carried on by the national R Cross during the depression. In the 53 years history of the or- ganlzatlon such extraordinary widespread and p; onged demands fog relief hare never before been made mills, In ft tapon and 844,000 bales of botton which Congress voted In March and July, 1932, respectively, to he distributed by the Red Cross to the nations needy, were Farm Board surplus. They represented all of the surplus and now the Farm Board bins are craped clear of wheat and the Farm Board haa turned over Its last cotton to tha Red Cross. Never before in the history of the world bad a task like this of converting millions of bushels of wheat and millions of pounds of cotton Into bread and clothing, for millions of families, been considered possible of accomplishment.
