A Proclamation by the President
'O the People of the United States: An overwhelming disas
ter has'overtaken the people o'fthe friendly nation of Japan.
While its extent has not a yet been officially reported enough
is known to justify the statement that the cities of Tokio and
Yokohama and surrounding towns and villages have been
Iw&ely if not completely destroyed by earthquake fire and
flood wifli a resultant appalling loss of life and destruction and
distress acquiring measures of urgent relief. 1
Such assistance as is Within the means of the executive de-
partment of the government will be rendered; but realizing the
great suffering which now needs relief and will need relief for
days to come I am prompted to appeal urgently to the Ameri-
can people whose sympathies have always been so comprehen-
sive to contribute in aiding the- unfortunate and in giving relief
to -the people of Japan.
In.prdcr that the utmost co-ordination and effectiveness in
the administration of the relief funds be obtained I recommend
that allwontributions clearly designated be sent to the chair-
man oruie American National Red Cross at Washington or to
any of the local Red Cross chapters for transmission to Japan.
