RED CROSS RAISES $lO 000,000
\K 21 DAYS FOR RELIEF
Terrible catastrophes, such as the
Japanese earthquake, prove the wis
dom of the people in maintaining the
American Red Cross as their national
and international relief agency The
readiness of the Red Cross for duty in
the greatest of emergencies was also
proved by test.
The record shows; Sept 3, Presi
dent Cloolidge assigns the duty of rais
ing $5,000,000 to the American Red
Cross; Sept 4, Red Cross Chapters in
over 3,500 communities given fund al
lotments; Sept. 12, fund totals $5,563,-
000, Sept. 17, fund nearly $8,000,000
and President announces formal clos
ing of campaign; Sept. 27, fund passes
$10,009,000 mark.
In 21 business days the Red Cross
doubly performed the duty entrusted
to it —ail the while keeping a steady
flow of relief supplies going out from
many Pacific ports to the stricken
areas in Japan. Thus was the confi
dence of the American people in their
Red Cross justified and the wisdom of
Red Cross preparedness to cope with
an unprecedented relief emergency
confirmed.
