RED CROSS WORKERS.
BRITAIN’S CONTRIBUTION. (British Official Wireless.) Received August 24. 10.5 a.m. RUGBY, Aug. 23. Contributions received up to August 15 by the International Red Cross Committee for relief work in Spain amounted to £18.500, of which £SOOO came from the British Government. Despite the discouraging nature of the response from other Governments to the committee’s appeal, Britain has decided, in view of the valuable work which the committee is doing, to make a further contribution of £2500.
It is hoped that this wifi induce other Governments to make a contribution, but unless a further substantial amount is received by the committee from other Governments, Britain will have to regretfully refuse to subscribe further.
