Cold War - Description:
- Edward Carter sends to Rubin Saltzman a separate copy of what Carter already sent to Max Bedacht that same day. The enclosure states that the American Society for Russian War Relief, Inc. is shutting down and now putting the finishing touches on its final fundraising campaign for the end of 1946. A delegation will soon visit the Soviet Union to see how supplies are used and deliver a message of friendship from the American people who have contributed a pound of needed supplies for each U.S. man, woman, and child. "The [Rehabilitation] supplies for which we are campaigning ...will play a great part in Soviet rehabilitation for years to come and an even greater role in the American-Soviet friendship and understanding which has been such a valuable by-product of our aid."

- Notes:
- The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
