This petition proposed by the Chinese Relief Committee of the American Red Cross in 1937 aimed to fundraise by selling flowers on the streets to relieve the women and children of China under the distress of war. The next day, the Council approved this petition in Resolution No.66887. On July 7, 1937, the Marco Polo Bridge incident occurred, marking the beginning of Japan's comprehensive military campaign in China. The Marco Polo Bridge incident is generally regarded as the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War, and the Pacific theatre of World War II.
