Gollancz tells of a "small success" regarding the proposed doubling of food to the British Voluntary Relief Societies working abroad, the increased useful nature of the kinds of supplies sent, and the extension of these agencies into Central Europe.

Though Ben Smith has not replied and has ignored Gollancz's letter addressing the fact, he has accepted the proposals. Combined with the 90,000 tons of surplus military stores "we extracted from Sir Ben", it "shows that our efforts, though desperately disappointing, are not being altogether fruitless."

The agencies will want £100,000 "to take up the extra supplies of food", and Gollancz suggests appealing to the public at the "Save Europe Now" meetings for money. At the first executive meeting it was decided "to prepare a memorial".
