In order to retainthe good will already created by this established organization and the continued full functioning of its staff, we decided,with this approval of the President, to set up a volunteer successor under the same name...On July 7, 1919, I sent a cable to our New York Office, requesting it to take the necessary steps to set up the new AmericanRelief Administration... On July 12, they formed the new American Relief Administration, which was registered as anon-profit corporation, and elected the following officers:Herbert Hoover, Chairman; Directors: Alvin B. Barber, Julius H. Barnes, R. W. Boyden, Edward M Flesh, William A. Glasgow,John W. Hallowell, Howard Heinz, Vernon L. Kellogg, James A. Logan, Edgar Rickard, Alonzo E. Taylor, John B. White, andTheodore F. Whitemarsh ...As a second step in solution of major domestic food problems after the Peace, we had, with the President's approval,determined to continue the Food Administration Grain Corporation to carry out the guarantees... Since the new AmericanRelief Administration would be its largest customer for the surplus arising from the guarantees, I secured the President'sapproval that it should act as the purchasing, transporting and accounting agency for the new organization...To carry out our relief work we had to assemble for Walter Brown a staff to administer the work in the various countries. Icalled for volunteers, and a sufficient number of our former staff agreed to make the sacrifice of further service...The task we had undertaken proved far greater than the single problem of children's relief in some twelve countries inCentral and Eastern Europe which we had anticipated at the Peace. Originally, they had expected to end their labors withthe harvest of 1920, but we were compelled to continue the children's relief in some countries until 1923. We were alsocompelled to find large amounts of relief for adults in these states and to undertake a huge relief for the great famine inCommunist Russia...For an understanding of the financial resources of the new American Relief Administration, I give the amounts secured fromvarious sources during its entire life. The final settlement of our accounts and our liquidation stretched over many years--infact, until 1937...First, the official American relief agencies operating during the Armistice had on hand, at the moment Peace was signed,supplies in warehouses and cargoes en route amounting to 17,585 tons of food, medical supplies, and clothing valued at$6,625,051. The President authorized me to transfer these supplies to the American Relief Administration to complete theirdistribution...


23001 3

Second, the residue from the National Security and Defense Fund transferred to the new American Relief Administration bythe President amounted to $1,660,573...Third... I have described the system by which the Grain Corporation, in providing supplies to the different countries duringthe Armistice, added to prices at which supplies were sold a small margin to cover losses and other contingencies. We hadcontracted with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe that any balance in this fund should be used for generalEuropean children's relief, in which they would participate. The amount paid over to the new American Relief Administrationfrom its inception until the end totaled $25,109,989...Fourth, in our official governmental relief activities during the Armistice we had set up a system of monetary remittancesfor Americans desiring to aid friends and relatives in Europe as an added relief. The system proved very difficult tooperate... The American Relief Administration inherited the warehouses which its predecessor had established in manycountries in Europe. The new method was to sell "food drafts" to individuals through American banks; the drafts, indenominations of ten to fifty dollars, could be sent by the purchaser to friends in Europe, and the food designated could beobtained from our warehouses. We also devised a "bulk draft" system whereby other American charities could obtainsupplies from our warehouses when and where they needed them. The latter procedure freed them from maintaining theirown purchasing and transporting facilities. The total amount of all food drafts sold was $24,302,916...Fifth, in 1920, we organized the American Council for the Relief of European Children, which made a public appeal for fundsand received a total of $29,556,071. The American Relief Administration received $15,669,899 of this total...Sixth, we undertook the relief of intellectuals in Central and Eastern Europe. For these purposes, we raised $2,556,251outside their own contributions. These funds were partially duplicated by the purchase of food drafts...Seventh, we joined with the Young Men's and Young Women's Christians associations in the organization of the relief ofstudents. Their contributions, outside our own funds, were $273,244...Eighth, in January 1920, it was evident that certain countries--Armenia, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, andPoland--could not get through the months of April, May, June, and July (prior to the harvest of 1920) without relief foradults... The Grain Corporation had earned a considerable profit from trading with Neutrals during the war... On March 30,1920, with the support of President Wilson, I secured authorization for the Grain Corporation to sell flour to these countriesfrom its profits, which amounted to $57,782,118...Ninth, on December 22, 1921, being aware that there still remained in the Grain Corporation treasury a part of its profitsfrom trading with Neutrals, we secured authority from Congress to use this money for Russian relief. It amounted to$18,662,180...Tenth, on January 20, 1922, we secured authority from Congress for the War Department to furnish us surplus medicalsupplies for Russia and Armenia; this amounted to about $5,000,000... Although the American taxpayer was not calledupon for taxes to pay for these appropriations from the Grain Corporation or the surplus medical supplies, all of whichamounted to $81,444,298, these sums were, in reality, a gift...Eleventh, at the request of the Supreme Council, we undertook to battle the typhus epidemic which was sweepingwestward from the old Russian trenches. For this purpose we had obtained anti-typhus equipment from the American,British, French, and German armies, the original cost of which was estimated by American Army officials at $60,000,000. Itwas not received until after the Peace. The American Army and the American State Department contributed the pay of theirstaff in this undertaking-amounting to at least $2,000,000...Twelfth, in our operations in Central and Eastern Europe, we undertook purchase, transportation, or organization for otheragencies...Thirteenth, we took part in the relief of refugees going from Russia into Poland, Turkey, and Constantinople, for which wereceived a total contribution of $300,622...Fourteenth, we received gifts in supplies and/or in cash from many of the governments in whose countries we worked...The activities of the American Relief Administration extended from June 30, 1919, to the end of September, 1923. All of thisinvolved chartering a multitude of ships and establishing financial contracts with forty governments and twelve privateassociations. Out of these transactions there arose a host of claims-amounts due us and claims of foreign governments forspoilage or underdelivery on contracts...It was indeed a tedious business, even involving appeals to the United States Supreme Court by some claimants. Theburden of these settlements of the accounts of the official American Government agencies fell upon the new AmericanRelief Administration and the Grain Corporation. We were unable to conclude all the affairs of the Government agenciesand receive quittance certificates from the auditors until 1937..."In June, as the Paris Peace Conference was drawing to a close, Hoover had already organized the delivery of over fourmillion tons of food, clothes, and other relief supplies to twenty-two countries.

Determined to see the ARA continue its operations, he informed the New York Office in July of his intention to have theChildren's Relief Bureau--a private organization endowed by the ARA in April--become the successor of the officialgovernment agency. The new agency was to be named the American Relief Administration European Children's Fund,though the last three words in the title soon fell into disuse.Scope and Contents NoteThe European operational records of the American Relief Administration (abbreviated throughout as "ARA") deal mainly, asits name indicates, with relief in Europe, while operations in Russia are covered in a separate collection, the American ReliefAdministration Russian operational records, processed several years earlier. When it came time for the records of theEuropean Operations to be organized, significant amounts of material relating to Russia were found, processed, and thentransferred to the Russian operational records collection. Nevertheless, a few series still contain some documents related torelief activities in Russia and conditions therein.The bulk of the collection deals with the period 1919-1923, when the ARA was officially in existence (and officially so inRussia between 1921 and 1923), but many documents date from the year 1917 and some, like the account settlement andliquidation files of various offices, go up to 1938.The records of the American Relief Administration as a whole were originally divided into 15 categories. In order to ensureas much continuity as possible for the researchers who have relied on that initial arrangement, all materials found in aseries remained therein, and the names of the series have, for the most part, been retained (though regroupedalphabetically), as well as a good portion of the original folder headings.We also kept as distinct entities the various series in the so-called "computer indexed file." Indeed, there had been anattempt in the 1960s to index all these documents, but the project never came to fruition, and they have now beenprocessed from scratch. We have, however, retained the original distinction within each of those series between a generalsection and one divided into countries where relief operations took place.As for the original boxes labeled "Miscellany," they, as well as many other boxes unrecorded in the original seriesdescription, were brought together in a Miscellany series listed towards the end, before the newly-created oversize and artseries.Finally, the photographs found among the manuscript material during processing were added to those previously pulledand organized, which had letter designations.The original series description is reproduced here in order to provide the corresponding new series titles, indicated inbrackets in capital letters, along with the new box numbers:1.
