In our last month's issue we gave an account of ICRC relief work up to the end of October 1968 in Nigeria and the secessionist province Biafra. This clearly brought out the scale and very considerable cost of the mission which will continue for months to come. As the financial situation had reached the crisis stage, the International Committee invited representatives of governments, National Societies and international institutions, able to help it, to a meeting in Geneva, in order to explain the facts which justify not only the massive scale of, but also support for, the Red Cross action. There were in fact three meetings, one of National Societies, the second of representatives of governments and inter-governmental institutions and the third of voluntary agencies.

The Centenary Congress of the International Red Cross will testify to the extent and universality of our movement as well as to its immense latent possibilities. And from the exposition of so many varied actions in so many countries there cannot but spring hope and encouragement for all who co-operate with the national and international institutions, for all who work under the emblem of the Red Cross, Red Crescent or Red Lion and Sun.

As President of the Monegasque Red Cross, Princess Grace of Monaco recently spent several days in Geneva during which she took part in a film being produced for Canadian Television. This company is in fact preparing a documentary of importance for the forthcoming World Red Cross Day, May 8,1966, on the activity of the Red Cross, in particular of the International Committee and the League of Red Cross Societies. The Princess had accepted to present and comment on the work of the two international institutions of the Red Cross. She thus divided her days between the ICRC and the League. An imposing series of “ shots ” were taken of the ICRC's Central Tracing Agency in which are classified cardindexes and archives concerning more than fifteen million prisoners of war and displaced or missing civilians during the course of armed conflicts in Europe and in the rest of the world. The Princess commented, in front of the cameras, on several cases with which the Agency had to deal and brought out the effectiveness and extent of the work carried out at ICRC headquarters on behalf of the victims of all those conflicts.

The international institutions of the Red Cross have always been in close touch with National Societies in Latin America, some of which are amongst the oldest members of our movement. We have asked Mr. P. Jequier, now retired from his office as ICRC Delegate-General for that part of the world, to give an account of his own experience in some events and to describe some of the International Committee's actions during internal disturbances.
