U.S. Red Cross Agent Leaves Berlin for Poland to Direct Relief Work

James Nicholson, member of an American Red Cross delegation in Europe, has left Berlin for Poland to direct the administrative work of distributing the $250,000 relief which the American organization has appropriated for medical, sanitary and other aid to the suffering population under the Nazi occupation.

This was disclosed by Ernest Swift, another member of the delegation, prior to his departure for Geneva. Mr. Swift, who is scheduled to return to the United States on Dec. 11, said that the Red Cross supplies will be distributed in Poland through the German Red Cross. A representative of the American Red Cross, he explained, will participate in supervising the distribution, which will be handled separately through Jewish and non-Jewish organizations on the spot under an arrangement by which each of these two separate organizations will have to apply for the American relief to the German Red Cross.
