He emphasized that most of the funds will haw to be raised In the U.S.
The $30,000,000, he declared, will cover the costs of food, clothing, medical care equipment and small loans for the new immigrants, “all of whom are destitute, and many of whom are sick with fatigue and despair of two decades of wandering.”
