Near East Relief

The Greek Minister of Relief, Dr. Doxlades, appealed to the United States Government and the American Red Cross to continue relief work among the 500,000 refugees from Asia Minor for some months after the signing of the Greco-Turkish peace treaty at Lausanne.

The present position is that the American Red Cross will withdraw from adult relief work in Greece by June 30; the Near East Relief, however, which has charge of about 20,000 orphan refugees from Asia Minor, will continue its child welfare work without interruption.
