Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book brings together the hearings before the committee on appropriations for the House of Representatives concerning appropriations to combat the effects of the influenza outbreak of 1918-19 in Alaska and Puerto Rico. The opening statements by Governor Thomas Riggs of Alaska stre…ss the needs of the territory, including the demands of the native population, who found themselves unable to travel to find sustenance, largely due to travel restrictions designed to control the spread of the illness. Lacking the resources to alleviate the suffering caused by the outbreak, Governor Riggs appealed to Congress for aid. The author also presents the statements of Commissioner of Education P.P Claxton and Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico Felix C. Davila, both of whom describe similar circumstances in their respective jurisdictions. Claxton emphasizes that the indigenous peoples of Alaska lack funds to combat the crisis while Davila describes the legislative efforts made to appropriate emergency funds to alleviate the suffering of Puerto Rico's people, including donations from senators and other private citizens. The book serves as a historical record of the hearings, providing a detailed account of the urgent appeals for federal aid made by officials faced with an unprecedented public health emergency. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
