Of this amount $4,846,151.16 had actually been received at National Headquarters of United China Relief and its agencies. The remaining $159,729.41 consisted of funds for China relief in the hands of local China committees and war chests, not yet forwarded to National Headquarters. Campaign results to date show that the American people this year have given and are giving a nationwide demonstration of their friendship and admiration for the Chinese people and of their eagerness to give China all possible aid in our common struggle. During the first eight months of 1942 their response to United China Relief's appeal made possible substantial progress both in raising funds and in carrying forward the work of relief and rehabilitation in China. Under the honorary Chairmanship of Mr. Wendell L. Willkie, the chairmanship of Mr. Paul G. Hoffman and the presidency of Mr. W. R. Herod, a country-wide organization of regional and community chairmen and committees was set up during the opening months of the year. Leading sales executives, loaned by a score of the nation's largest business corporations, served as regional chairmen throughout the United States, and devoted their full time for three months to the securing of chairmen, the setting up of committees, and the planning of campaigns. At national headquarters a strong executive organization was developed to service the campaign, to receive and account for all funds collected, and to administer these funds in carrying out the program of relief and rehabilitation throughout Free China. Each of the eight agencies participating in United China Relief cooperated loyally and efficiently both in the fund raising campaigns in America and in conducting the relief program in China. Throughout the country, thous- (Continued on page 7) WAR RELIEF CONTROL BOARD REGISTERS UCR -- President Roosevelt's War Relief Control Board has notified Mr. W. R.
