The distribution of supplies inItaly will be made under the control of the   
Army  but principally by the War Relief Services of the National Catholic   
Welfare Conference through its Church organizations in the area in   
question.  Monsignor Carroll (American) has established an office in   
Naples, to supervise relief activies by the Church.  The Quakers also   
          have sought opportunity to participate.           
 
                                                            
 
All of these agencies however are inadequately supplied for present and   
certainly for the furture needs of the population, particularly as the   
area of occupation expands.  United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation   
                 Administration at present:                 
 
                     a. Have no funds.                      
 
b. Have no directive permitting the distribution of relief in Italy as an   
enemy country, or now as a co-belligerent, or ultimately if it becomes  
an Ally.  UNRRA plan a meeting in June at which it is said the scope of   
             their ativities may be increased.              
 
                                                            
 
 
All of the problems of relief, refugees and migration are nessarily so   
intimately related and interwoven that several agencies acting separately   
are bound to creat conflict, duplication and waste.  UNRRA has been   
chartered on a United Nations basis, to finance and work in the field.  I   
assume that rehabilitation means more the rehabilitation of men, women,   
and children than it does the building of plants and otehr properties,   
whcih if undertaken would run into vast figures and an unpredictable   
lenght of time.  UNRRA has no adequate distributing organization, past   
experience, or staff to conduct the proposed activities on the scale which   
                  will result before and
