F, S. R. RBLIEF SHIPIJENTS

FROl! AMERICAN WORKERS TO RUSSIAN WORKKRS

Up to July 31 ., 1922 , s-eventeen(lT) ships, containing relief food,
machinery and other supplies from American workers 'for Russian wo'rkers , have
left New York, bound for Soviet Russia. The following is a report of the ship-
ments made by the American Federated Russian Famine Relief Committee on these
17 vessels«

It must be no ted that th e Fr ien ds of Sov ie t Russia furnished nearly
-mety-seven and one half percent (97^)- of the funis for the purc hase and for -
warding of these go o d s thro ugh the Fed erated Committe e ,

Besides the 17 shipments from New York, ten(lO) shipments have been
made separately by F, S. R. branches along. the Pacific coast. These are listed
below at the end, but, due to the .snipping papers having been sent abroad for
handling, details are not available at the inoment of making up this report.

This report does not include relief material forwarded through the
Federated Committee by various other organizations as distinct consignments in
their ov/n respective names.

The clothing and shoes v/ere almost all obtained by house to house col-
lection, so that the given value does not represent an expenditure by the Fed-
orated Committee. The articles were all put into first-class condition and re-
paid and the assigned value represents a very conservative estimate.

Shipments prefixed with an aster isk(*~) have been listed as received in
Soviet Russia in the official printed Bulletin issued under date of July 5, 192k
at Berlin, Germany, by the Central Office of the Workers International Russian
Famine Relief Committee, with which the Friends of Soviet Russia is affiliated.
