The Survey October 1917-March 1918 . oldiers, orto that of aiding other civilian victims of the war, such aswidows and orphans, soldiers disabled by wounds or dis-charged because of tuberculosis or other disease. It was feltto be desirable that the American Red Cross should help meetthese needs if its resources permitted, but it was pointed outthat fundamental to all of them was the amount of allowancemade by the government to soldiers actively in service, to dis-charged soldiers, to the families of soldiers and to refugees.With the scarcity of food and fuel and the constantly increas-ing cost of both, the committee received frequent suggestionsthat Red Cross funds be used to supplement these allowances.The committee reported : Obviously, neither the American Red Cross nor any other privateagency can undertake to make good the shortages in income andfood supply of a nation. Soldiers families and refugees—and. forthe most part, refugees belong to the families of soldiers—make upa large part of the population of Italy.. ON A SUNNY STREET IN SICILY Group of country boys from the North If we were permitted to make only a single recommendation (inthe hope that it would be adopted) this would be that the AmericanRed Cross should use its utmost influence to secure the importationof food into Italy during the next few weeks and months.

The food supply is short forthe whole population, but the refugees, whose needs we have beenasked to investigate, are naturally at the very margin and theirneeds in this respect may therefore be taken as the ultimate needof the country. We have frequently been told by Italians in respon-sible positions that food is more important in seeing Italy throughthe present crisis than either men or munitions from America. Clothing is also needed, especially underclothing of all sizes, andmaterials which can be made up into clothing. Fue
