MUST NEVER DEMOBILIZE
Chairman Wadsworth of Executive
Red Cross Says Organization Must
Be Kept Together.

Philadelphia, Pa,-"The great Red
Cross army of mercy which this war
has called into being must never be
demobilized," said Eliot Wadsworth,
acting chairman of the executive com.
mittee Of the Red Cross, in an address
here to workers in the organization.
THAT the Red Cross should stop or
that its spirit should die away, is un.
beiievable," said Mr. Wadsworth. "The
intense sympathy of America for suf
fering humanity will not cease with
the coming of peace. Where suffering
exists, there America will go with an
open hand, asking no return except the
satisfaction of having helped.
"As the nations have struggled to
excel on the battlefield, so now they
will struggle in the work of reconstruc.
ton which faces them"
Mr. Wadsworth said that in feeding
and clothing the distressed peoples OF
Europe there can be no. question that
grave emergencies win arise which
VIII require instant action on the part
of volunteer agencies able to cut red
tape and achieve quick results. Herein
will lie the opportunity of the Ameri.
can Red Cross, he said.
The rise of the American Red Cross
has been one Of the wonders OF the
war, Mr. Wadsworth added. Through
this organization Americans in a year
and half have Contributed more
than s3OO,OOO,OO0 in money in add.
ton to an amount Of volunteer service
almost beyond imagination" The lar
gest Red Cross activity outside the
United States, Mr. Wadsworth said,
was that of Great Britain.
