RED GROSS PLANS
FOR COM YEAR
Over $2,000,000 in Fund for War
Sufferers —National Budget
. Is $5,543,077.
AID TO VETERANS
STANDS FIRST
Expended $9,738,443 In Services
' to Mankind Last Year at
. Home and Abroad.
Washington.—With * budget of $5,-
643,077.81 for carrying out the pro
gram of service during the current fis
cal year, beginning July 1, the Ameri
can Red Cross announces that this
amount was $4,195,370.41 less than
was expended during the fiscal year
ended last June 30. During that year
expenditures reached a total of $9,-
738,448.22, of which amount $2,605,-
898.09 was devoted to relief of refu
gees In Greece who had been driven
out of Asia Minor. In announcing the
budget for the year, the statement
from National Headquarters empha
sized the fact that its extensive work
at home and abroad depends almost
wholly upon the nation-wide support
of the organization through enroll
ment of membership in large numbers
during the annual roll call, which will
be in progress from November. 11 to
November 29 under the auspices of
the 3,600 Chapters in the United
States and throughout the world.
These Chapters, it is pointed out, dur
ing the last tiscal year expended of
their own fund 3 approximately $3,920,-
000 in work for the men who wore the
United States uniform during the
World War, so that the estimate of
some $15,000,000 expended during
twelve months by the American Red
Cross as a whole is considered con
servative.
Soldier Service Stands First
Prom July 1, 1917, to June 30, 1923,
the American Red Cross spent nation
ally and through its Chapters close to
$184,000,000 in behalf of American sol
diers who served in the war and their
families. During last year the figure
alone mounted to more than $5,866,-
255, and for the current fiscal year
National Headquarters has set aside
under the heading, “Assistance to Dis
abled ex-Service Men and Women, ’’
$2,0*15,834.20, The Chapters will con
tinue to do their part, so that it may
be predicted with confidence that
again mere than $6,500,000 will be dis
bursed In the large variety of services
do the disabled men and women and
their families —services for which the
Government cannot provide and which
reach the individual case with the
sympathy and understanding only ac
tual contact can insure. This work
of the American Red Cross approaches
the fifth anniversary of the Armistice,
which ended the World War with only
Blight decrease in calls for service in
the interest of tbo welfare and re
habilitation of those who suffered
physical disability In the service of
their country.
In the interest of the enlisted men
serving in the Army and the Navy
the budget provides $309,026 for the
current year. ThiH is obligatory un
der the Red Cross charter, for the or
ganization must act in matters of vol
untary relief and as a medium of com
munication between the people and
their Army and Navy.
Domestic Program Extensive
The domestic operations of th#
American Red Cross comprise an ac
curate Indicator of the continuing
calls for expansion In all the estab
lished and authorized services. The
budget aggregates $4,636,449.70, as
against expenditures during the last
year of $4,452,666.20. The abnormal
demands in the foreign field in the
last several years, however, have
largely subsided, and in consequence
$906,628.11 has been set for the 1923-24
budget under foreign operations. On
this amount $394,303.91 is set aside for
engagement* which will close the
work for the refugees in Greece, for
whose amelioration $2,605,696.09 was
expended up to June 30, when the
American Red Cross withdrew, and
the work was taken over under the
j control of the Greek government. For
! liquidation and completion of general
j relief in Europe the budget provides
■ SIOO,OOO, and lor American Junior Red
I Cross projects, foreign and insular,
| and assistance to Chapters listed un-
I der foreign operations.
Ready for Emergency Calls
The readineess of the American Red
! Cross to answer immediately with ef
fective service in cases of emergency
is an outstanding feature of its pro
gram that is universally recognized.
During last year $525,000 was spent
for relief in 110 disasters, which was
$207,500 in excess of budget provi
sions. This year $400,000 has been
appropriated for this service. Since
1881 .the Red Cross has administered
more than $20,000,000 in relief work
following disasters.
Other budget items in the schedule
for domestic operations Include sl,
282,524.20 for service and assistance
to the 3,600 Chapters and their
Branches; SBO,OOO for assistance to
other organizations, particularly
stressing child health activities; $194,-
800 for Junior Red Cross projects and
service; $10,324.20 for assistance to
Nurses’ Training Schools, and for oth
er activities $111,456.80. For supervi
sion of service activities and general
/ management of the entire American
Red Cross less than $225,000 is allotted.
Annual Summons to
Red Cross Banner
On Armistice Day
America’s great humanitarian effort
in behalf of stricken Japan early in
September gave the answer to the
question, "What is there for the Red
Cross to do in tftne of peace?” What
the Ameriean Red Cross did at once
when this crushing earthquake disas
ter came without warning showed
that it was ready on the instant with
country-wide team work to carry out
quickly and effectively the request of
the President to lead the national ef
fort tor the relief of the many thou
sands of sufferers. Preparedness to
take the field when relief is needed is
a charter duty of the Red Cross.
Without a membership enrolled in ev
ery community in the land this readi
ness would be impossible. That is
why your dollar membership is most
important. • .
% It is imperative that the structure
of the American Red Cross be made
up of millions of individual units.
Opening Armistice Day, November 11,
and closing with Thanksgiving Day,
November 29, the Roll Call this year
will penetrate to the ends of the
earth and to the ships sailing the
seven seas. The 3,600 Red Cross
Chapters in the United States will
have their busy volunteers enrolling
members during thtß period imbued
with renewed enthusiasm due the
recent revival of effort when the call
came from Japan.
