Treasury licenses no longer are required for concerns in the United States and liberated France to exchange financial and commercial information and establish business contacts. Creditors may get in touch with their debtors in France. Banks, brokerage houses, and other financial institutions may advise their customers and depositors in France of the status of their accounts. Bank statements, financial records, and commercial reportsmay freely be furnished. Wills, legal notices, and birth, death, and marriage certificates may be transmitted. Proxies may be solicited and signature cards l!'ay be obtained. Corres pondent relations between banks in the United States and banks in France may be established. In addition, support remittances may be sent to France under General Licenses Nos. 32 and 33 as soon as banks in this country are able to make the necessary arrangements with French banks. These general licenses permit a maximum of $500 per month to be sent to individuals in France through banking channels. Currency, money orders, checks or drafts cannot be used for this purpose since their transmission continues to be prohibited. With the exception of instructions relating to support remit tances, business communications between the United States and France will bP restri ctad for the time being to the ascertainment of facts and the exchange of information. Accordingly Treasury licenses will not be granted for the present for the sending to France of powers of attorney, executed proxies, payment instructions and other communica tions which are transactional in nature. It is understood that similar restrictions will remain in effect in France and the United Kingdom. Today's action by the Treasury was in the form of an amendment to General Ruling No. 11 removing the liberated areas of France from the category of "enemy territory". French areas still under the con trol of the enemy will continue to be "enemy territory" and will re main subject to the restrictions contained in the General Ruling. - ooOoo- 44-30 TREASURY DEPARTMENT Foreign Funds Control Amended June 30, 1944 GENERAL RULING NO. 11, AS AMENDED UNDER EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 8389, AS AMENDED, EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 9193, SECTIONS 3(a) AND S(b) OF THE TRADING WITH THE ENEMY ACT, AS AMENDED BY THE FIRST WAR POWERS ACT, 1 941, RELATING TO FOREIGN FUNDS CONTROL. • General Rulinc No. 11 is hereby amended to read as follows: REGULATIONS RELATING TO TRADE OR COMMUNICATION ITH OR BY AN ENEM¥ NATIONAL.

Although we can say that we have satisfactorily met the immediate material needs of our 30,000 refugees, we have not had the resources to do anything elaborate in the way of entertainment in the three camps and have had so far to rely on the small film van facilities of the British Ministry of Information. From the enthusiastic response Which we have had so far to such recreation as we have been able to provide, we know that the new facilities, made possible by this generous gift, will be more than warmly welcomed. e have opened a special account in our accounts department here to handle the disposition of the 37,000, which are being transferred to Cairo. We propose to allocate this money to the three camps on a per capita basis, as the fairest method. I have spoken to our Public Relations Division, and they have promised to give close attention to the publicity aspect of this gift. All publicity material gathered here will be made available immediately to Mr. Korse Salisbury for distribution from Washington. Our P.R. welcomes the suggestion that credit slides should be used in the showing of each film from the States and suggests that the slides should be sent out with the other,. film material, if possible • aont/••••• RECEJY£0 • F-EB112:1846 V l281 / •• . .. - 2 - Would you please express our warmest thanks, on behalf of the Yugoslav expatriates in the Middle East, to the United Yugoslav Re1ief Fund of America,for their generous and thoughtful gift.

DODD HARD AT WORK Ill EGYPl': REPORTS 'FIRST CAMP EABY EOD1 ~ 7rom the recently established camp for Yugoslav refugees in Egypt comes a brief report written by Dr. Wilson Y. Dodd, the American ph7sician whose work is being financed by the United Yugoslsr Relief Fund o! America. Dr. Dodd tells of his own initial activites, and ~s high tribute to the work o! Miss Ruth Snoke Jaust, graduate nurse, who also represents the United Yugoslav Relief J'und in the camp. Appare tly, I~ at the time of writing, Mrs. Margaret Johnson Jlorea, nutritionist, the third health specialist recently taken over by the UYRr from the Near last J'oundation, vas still -to arrive. Here are excerpts !rom Dr. Dodd's letter: 11'his is a wonderful job and I am thrilled with it. In our medical set-up I am taking the sur ger.v and obstetrics, which eans a lot of night work !or me. Bad our first camp baby Sundq morning. Our hospital :h terribly crude but it is coming along and it is thrilling to t17 and build it up from nothing. We have only one Yugoslav nurse, and a bunch of YU&Oslav women who want to learn nursiDg. Our American nurse, Miss Jaust, has a gigantic job. !he spirit of the people is magnificent. All their work about the camp and ever;vthing they do is to be vi thout p~. They look at 1 t as part o! their war effort. All refugees are put through the reception pro gram which means - delousing, medical inspection, vaccination and first typhoid Shot.

It is quite a Job setting this up and getting the staff !or it, bu.t we expect !our Greek doctors and eight British !or one ~ to help us. !omorrov I am rehearsing a buDch o! YugoslaTs to help run the ahov.• 7roa a repreaentatiTe of the Bear ~ast Jonndation in Cairo has come a subsequent message telliDg of the accomplishment o! the great task ot inoculation which Dr. Dodd had described. In one d.q 3,500 refugees were inoculated - a remarkable reaul t, considering the small staff at Dr. Dodd's isposal. A hospital with 100 beds has been put at the disposal of the refugees, aDd will soon be increased to 350 beds.

YlJ&Oalav girls !or Jfurses• Aid work in the camp and for service later in YugoslaTia. c 0 . slav RefUgee Camp ~ .'P 1 Shatt, Egypt ·' y April 12, 1944 Mr. Bart .Andress United Yugoslav Relief Fund New York, New York Dear Mr. Andress: Your letter of March 6 reached me yesterdq. It takes a few extra dqs for mail to reach us in the d~sert. I was very glad to get your letter and hear of your interest in the work out here and also in the three of us Near East Foundation personnel. I will be ver,y glad to answer letters from you and from time to time will tr.y to give you some word of the work. It is all very interesting and sometimes exciting, but unfortunately my letters have been heavily censored and the most interesting parts cut out. However, if you have read the New York Times you will .have seen more than one article regarding the work, told in ver,y much more detail than I am allowed. I will confine myself largely to the medical work and avoid statis tics as much as possible. Perhaps the nicest thing that has hapnened is the arrival of Miss Thereis Xerze from America. She was born and brought up in New York of Yugoslav parentage and knows the langu.a.ge of these people. She is Director o~Nursing and has taken over the entire uursing program, which includes the instruction and training of girls and the supervision of the wards. We are delighted with her and consider the Yugoslav people ver,y fortunate to have such a worker out here. I cannot speak too highly of her and consider the Yugoslav people very fortunate to have such a worker out here. I cannot speak too highly of her ability and usefulness. The Central Yugoslav committee are falling over themselves to do what she wants and we are really doing things. About two months ago a class of 18 girls was started in training. Miss Jaust took over this group when she came and is pushing them along thru. an interpreter. We give tho the equivalent of the Nurses Aid course at home. Miss Ierze immediately started another class and the two are nov working on both groups together. Miss Jaust does more of the practical side, which is easier without language and Miss Xerze does more of the theoretical work. Early in Mq we plan graduation exercises for both groups at which all the camp notables and public will be inTi ted. We want to make quite a thing of this in order to stimulate interest in nursing, as we feel that the training of girls for future work in Yugoslavia can be one of our biggest contributions while these people are forced to live in the desert. The hospital is full to capacity 130 patients and we are forced to use half of a new building that is not finished. We'll move into one half while the other is being plastered and then shift over to the finished side. When we do finally get all built up we can liiBllS€;e about 400 patients. This of course will need a large uursing staff and naturally doctors. . . - 2- • As for doctors, we have at present three Yugpslav doctors who have been with ua some ti e and now one more, but two of these are sick right at this 110ment. One doctor is trying to take care of one of our three camps with roo patients a dq tr,ying to storm his clinic for attention. The other doctors are about as bu.q. In your letter ,-ou speak of one doctor and one Jm.rse that aight be found for the work. This would be fine especially if the,- happen to know the langaage. This camp will have to continue six months or so even after their countrr is liberated and Jll8ll1' of us mq be moving on to other fields before then. One thiDg we need verr badl,- right now is arses and uniforms and outfits for at least 100 girls. AnythiDg ,-ou coa.ld send out very soon along these lines would be greatly appreciated. Money for this would be more acceptable than the articles as we mnst do something locall7 right now and 8lQT 1\mda would enable us to replenish locally. llstiu.te $200. Cordial~, (Signed) Wilson J.

Dear Mr. Hendrickson: The e;ree. t gener 1 ty of' the United "a v Relief Fund ln making availa le so large a donation o their compatriots in the UNRP~ 1tlddle East camps is very greatly appreciated by the Yugoslavs and by ne. The Refugee Committees of the camps have been advised and decision has been taken to make these suroa available for purchase to the Yugoslav camps in relation to ti1eir population and also that in general the allocation would be 40% vocational, 30% educational, and 30% recreational expenditure. Camp Committees have been requested to submit their recommendations on their most urgent needs and the follow ing ction has been taken up to the present: Large quantities of voca tiona 1 equipment have been ordered, shoemakers tools and rnnchines , barbers equipment, looms, spindles, spinning wheels, linen thread for lace making, small tools for the carpe~ter shops, and special tools for existing shops. rrangements are being made to have copies of school text books rinted (this constituted a most urgent need), educational materials (pens, nibs, :!.nk, exercise books) have been supplied. A complete set of 25 musical instruments (set of drums, violins, guitars, mandolins, etc.) has been o~dered for one camp at El Shatt. For El Arish, furniture, curtains and carpets have been ~ purchased for the Recreational Hut for concerts, cinemas, etc. ~t~-4V t«u-:.'-' ~ ~ ~ ..fiU¥~-.//"6 64 • -. . ..

Reference your cable 25144 regarding United Yugoslav Relief Funds, whilst in Cairo I had already approached the Exchange Control Commission and was advised that •lnce the funds which were remitted were amalgamated with other funds of this Administration, they were not in a position to accept our statement that the amount in question actually represented a residue from ~ dollar trMsfer. As the records of M.E.O. are now being shipped, it will be necessary for us to wait until these records arrive in order to find the credit note issued by the International Bank of ~gypt covering this transfer. When we are in the possession of t is credit note. we will again request the International Bank of Egypt to approve this transfer. In view of the shortage of dollars in Egypt, it is unlikely that they will approve a further request. It would appear that if you 9Xe desirous of refunding t nis sum to the United Yugoslav Relief, you must pay them from your own dollar resources and debit E.R.O. for the account of Middle East Office. /5/ TED L.

Dear Mr. Brown: Acknowledging your letter of June JO reporting a balance of $3,200 in the original $17,000 fund made available to UNRRA for recreational anr vocational supplies for Yugoslavs 1n North Africa, we would prefer to have this balance returned to our office here in N ~ w York for use in our public health rehabilitation progru which we are carrying on directly in Yugoslavia. Sincerely yours, a/ Philip E. Nelbach Executive Director c 0 p I .30 June 1947 Mr. Philip E. Nelbach Executive Director Unite Yugoslav Relief Fund of AaPrica 877 Broadt~&r New York 8, N. Y. Dear Mr. Nelbach: In 1945 the United Yugosla • Relief Fund of America turned over to the Administration the sum of $57,000 for supplementary supplies in the field of recreational and health-builring materials. In our let+er to you of 2 January 1945 it was suggested that $.37,000 from this fund be made available to the UNRRA office in the Middle East ~or the purchase of educational, recreational anr vocational supplies or the displace~ persons camps which then housed large numbers of JugoslaY displaced persons. This was subsequently accomplished. We now received a cable from th UNRRA office in Cairo reporting a balance from this fund of $.3,200 remaining on .30 June and suggesting the transfer of this remain er to the International R fugee Organization for continued use for the Yugoslavs remaining in thr El Shatt camp. This suggestion was made in view of the fact that UNRRA's displaced persons operations are terminating on .30 June and are being assumed by thr Preparatory Commission for the International Refugee Organization and in view of the rae+ that there still remain approxi ately 650 Yugo slav displaced persons at the El Shatt camp. The con1ribut1on of your organization has added F~Fatly to the well•b6ing and hapoiness of th se displaced persons and I am sure that the Preparatory Commission for the International Refugee Organization would aporeciate authorization to continue the helpful use of this fund. I consider the transfer to the Preparatory Commission would be the most desirable nisposition of the remainder. Accordingly, ~this transfer is acceptable to your organization, I will proceed to carry it out. Sincerely yours, Richard R. Brown CTLloJd: hh 71 June 1947 Clearances: Chait, Flynn, BurinsJd COPY ....
