| Notes | This program sold more than 160,000 drafts ("Dollarpakete") for Austria (400,000 overall for Central Europe). The American Bankers Association assisted US banks in this endeavour. All accrued profits were transferred to the child-feeding program (Kinderhilfsaktion). This was to become the model for the CARE packages after 1945 (founded by Elmer Burland and Arthur C. Ringland, both formerly working for the ARA). |
