The response to date has been altogether inadequate. I am sure the people of the United States will grasp the magnitude and pathos of a _situation invoivin abso- lute known destitution of over a mill- on and a quarter wemen, children and old men. ; “I therefore make this supplemental appeal at this season of Thanksgiving for God's blessing to us, for the human beings who are sufferers in the stricken area. “I request the governors, mayors, business and philanthropic ~organiza- tions and all other citizens of the United States to hold this tragedy in mind during Thanksglving week, and I ap- peal again to you to make a response equal to the eméYgency and worthy of the generous heart and the humani- tarian spirit of our great rcpublic. “That this may ho_orr.m!znl and t t definite.
