Of work to another, it will enable us to answer whatever call may be mad on us. The next call might possibly De for larger quantities of surgical dressings and less for garments. Um- less the national organization can de- velop manufacturing ability to fur nlsh what is wanted when it is wanted, we will fail in our duty in this war. We realize that it will take considerable tact and ingenuity on the part of the chapter officials to bring about the right cooperative spirit among the workers to have them carry out this plan. We have every confidence, however, that the majority of the Red Cross workers desire to do only such work as is i'm portant, and when the matter is put before them properly, they will back up the chapter organization so as to make a good record with national headquarters.
 Each chapter chairman is earnestly requested to take this matter up and see it through to a finish, so that the work may go on as soon as possible. This will undoubtedly require meet ings of heads of chapter production, as well as meetings with auXiliaries,
 
 working group, so as to get the prop CT spirit and enthusiasm behind this work.
 Yours very truly,
