REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 67 



Although the war in Europe ended in the latter part of the fiscal 

 year, it has not yet been possible to resume the regular sending of 

 consignments to the liberated countries. However, the Institution 

 was able to forward through the Office of War Information the boxes 

 that had accumulated here for France (182), Italy (134), and Belgium 

 (107). It also succeeded in sending through the United States Des- 

 patch Agent in New York, Howard Fyfe, the accumulations for 

 Sweden (111), Palestine (28), and Egypt (12). Kegular shipments 

 to these countries, however, have not yet been started. The countries 

 to which consignments are being forwarded regularly remain the same 

 as at the close of last year, namely : 



Eastern Hemisphere: 



Great Britain and Northern Ireland. 



Republic of Ireland. 



Portugal. 



Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. 



Africa. 



India.

Shipments to other countries will be resumed at the earliest date 

 practicable.
