tary of the Treasury MacNeagh ana

-. A New York subcommittee also has
been appointed and subcommittee in
other cities will be named.
President Taft has addressed a let
ter in part as follows to each member
OF the committee:
THE time has come when the Amer
lean Red Cross should be placed on a
permanent and efficient basis by an
endowment fund whose income Will
enable it TO be prepared at all times
to carry out the purposes FOR which
il has been created. 1t is the authorized
official organization of the United
states for volunteer aid in time of war
or great disaster.
Experience has shown that in cases
Of great disaster, such as occurred at
San Francisco and in italy, large con-
tributions are received by the Red
Cross, but in constantly recurring dis
asters, where smaller communities are
stricken and should receive a certain
assistance contributions are 5ar too
small to meet the need.
Moreover, in the case Of great dis
asters, the Red Cross should have such
a balance i'm hand as to enable it to
take immediate action without being
forced to wait until contributions are
received"
