We have had a brochure printed of the documents  
in respect to the formation of the National Committee  
for the Distribution of Relief Supplies in Italy, for  
which there has besn a special demand from many South  
American countries which- we are anticipating- will  
be contributors either in money or in kind to the  
                       initial fund.                        
 
                                                            
 
 
I take pleasure in enclosing herewith for your  
information four copies of the brochure in question.  
     With kind regards, believe me, dear Mr. President,
