Poland is also saddened by the massive loss of life, and devastation caused by this earthquake.
Poland is offering:
- 1000 tons of staple foods purchased directly by the government. As well, General Sikorski has organized a nation-wide food drive with a goal of doubling that number.
- Poland has also decided to reduce one division to reserve status, and send the tents and blankets used by these men to Bolivia.
- As well, 100 kms of standard gauge railway track is being removed from Polish lines, and being offered to Bolivia.
- 2 engineer companies, and 2 cavalry companies for their protection against the banditry in the region are being removed from their divisions, and are being offered as well.
- Poland is also offering 5,000 gallons of oil taken straight from the national reserve to be sent to Bolivia.
Romania is also saddened by this news, and is prepared to send the following:
- 1000 tons of staple foods. As well, following the lead of General Sikorski, the Romanian government has ordered a national food drive of non-perishable items, which hopes to double the amount sent.
- Romania as well has reduced one infantry division to reserve status, and offer the tents and blankets to the citizens of Bolivia.
- 100 kms of standard gauge railroad line is being torn up and offered to Bolivia.
- Romania is offering to send a force comprised of
8 engineer battalions, 3 Pontoon battalions, 6 railroad repair companies as well as 2 cavalry battalions for their protection against bandits. All supplies for this force are to come from Romania. Romania asks Brazil if they can use their ports and rail and road systems to transport this force to Bolivia, seeing as this would be the quickest way to get this force to Bolivia.
- As well Romania is offering 10,000 gallons of oil taken straight from the national reserve to Bolivia.
Brazil is also saddened by this news. Prime Minister Vargas has been quoted as saying "In this time of deep distress, all S. American nations should put aside their petty rivalries to aid our Bolivian neighbours." Although due to the recent conflict, Brazil cannot send much, 100 tons of food will be offered. As well, the ports, roads, and rail systems of Brazil are open to any country wishing to send humanitarian aid to Bolivia. We only ask that you send word when you are coming so we can make provision for the closing of these systems to civilian traffic, as well as making transport available for those going through to Bolivia.
