Appointment Of The War
Council Of The Red Cross

The action of President Wilson
in appointing the Red Cross War
Council, with Mr.. Henry P.
Dawson, of ]. P. Morgan & Co..
at its head, sets in motion the
tremendous campaign for popular
subscriptions to fund which the
Red Cross will use for supplying
hospitals at the front, and also
for carrying on relief work at
home and in Europe on a scale
perhaps greater than the world
has ever seen.
Other members OF the Council
appointed are: Charley d. Nor
ton. G. M. P. Murphy, Cornelius
N. Bliss, Jr., Edward N. Hurley,
with William H. Taft, Chair
man, Elliott Wadsworth, Vice
Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee, ex-oficio members.
In appointing the War Council
the President earnestly exlIorted
the American public to support
its work, issuing the following
statement:
Il have today created within
the Red Cross a War Council to
which will be entrusted the duty
of responding to the extraordi-
nary demands which the present
war will make upon the services
of the Red Cross both i'll the field
and in civilian relief. The best
way in which to impart the
greatest efficiency and energy to
the relief work which this war
will entail will be to concentrate
it in the hands of single ex.
perienced organization which
has been recognized by law and
by international convention as|
the public instrumentality for
such purposes. Indeed, such
a concentration of administrative
action in this matter seems to
me absolutely necessary and I
hereby earnestly call upon all
those who can contribute either
great sums or small to the allevi-
alton of the suffering and dis
tress which must inevitably arise
out of this fight for humanity
and democracy to contribute tol
the Red Cross. 1t will be one of |
the first and most necessary ia SKIS
of the new War Council of the
Red Cross to raise great sums of |
money for the support of tlleI
work to be done and done upon a |
great scale. l hope that the re.
Spouse to their efforts will be |
demonstration Of the generosity |
of America and the power of
genuine practical sympathy |
among our people that will COM.
mand the admiration of the
whole world.
WOODROW WILSON "
In an interview given the ss me
day. Mr.. Dawson pledged the
backing of Morgan & Co. to the
undertaking and announced that
be himself had temporarily given
40 all other business to devote
his whole energy to the Red
Cross financial campaign.

President Asks Congress
to Strike From Food Bill.
War Committee Provision

In response to letter from Chair
man Lever of the House appropria-
tons committee calling attention to
section % of the food bill providing
for the appointment of a Joint COM
mittee of Congress on the conduct of
the war. President Wilson has written
to Mr.. Lever strongly deprecatinc the
proposed legislation.
The Presidents opposition to this
section had been expressed Heretofore
to individuals at the Capitol and was
responsible for non-action on the
Weeks bill in the Senate and the Mad
den bill in the House proposing what
the amendment accomplished. The Sen
ate, by vote Of SO to 81, however.
incorporated the proposition in the
food bill.
President Wilson. in his letter to Mr..
Lever. declared that "the constant su-
pervision of executive action which
is contemplated would amount to moth
ing less than an assumption on the
part of the legislative body of the ,ex,
ecutive work Of the administration"
He pointed out the detrimental effect
of similar undertaking during the
civil war which harassed President
Lincoln.
President Wilson declared that Co
operation of that kind is not practical

sponsibility rests upon the administra-
