Red Cross Delegate Rudolf Zindel makes his monthly visit to Stanley, interviewing 58 internees on 'various current subjects'. He notes that because of the timely arrival of fresh British funds he was able to pay the usual monthly allowance of M. Y. 25 to 2, 393 (British) internees just before Christmas, and that the camp authorities also approved a grant of M. Y. 3,000 to the Stanley Camp Nutritional Relief Fund. 

Zindel also paid M. Y. 25 to the 13 Americans remaining in Stanley.
