The Chargé in Greece (Atherton) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11 p.m.]
187. I venture to suggest for consideration that the communication quoted in the Department’s 84, December 29, 4 p.m., which expresses [Page 380] what I am led to believe is becoming the considered opinion of “all” Americans in Athens, be conveyed to Mr. Morgenthau by the Red Cross, together with some additional statement indicating that despite the necessary attitude of the American Red Cross in confining itself exclusively to emergency relief in foreign countries the information at hand fully encompasses the magnitude and the difficulties of the task of finding permanent occupations of productive nature for the unassimilated refugees.57
- A communication of the nature indicated was telegraphed by the Red Cross to Mr. Morgenthau.↩
