Consul-General, gave a dinner party at which it was voted to issue sweepstakes up to $1,000,000. The plan proposed was that, 50 men should underwrite the premium bonds, and local banks should be asked to advance the money. Thus the money would be available for use in the famine drive. One half of the $1,000,000 would go for prizes, the other half for famine relief. It has been learned that about, $40,000 was subscribed at the dinner party for the sweepstakes.
