Abstract
THE rapid advances of the Allies in both eastern and western Europe has brought into prominence the vitally important task of carrying relief to the suffering peoples and helping them to restart their agricultural and industrial activities. Several conferences have recently been held both in Great Britain and in North America dealing with the many important problems involved. The work falls into three stages. During the period of military operations it is in charge of the Civil Affairs Branch of the Army. Military necessities must obviously be of over-riding importance, and the closest liaison with the military authorities is essential. This organization will deal with the emergency period, but ceases to act when the military operations have ceased. At that stage a National Government will take charge, and it can look to the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration for advice and supplies for completing the relief measures and restarting the agricultural and industrial life of the country.
