VIII Visit All the Allies,

we are instructed to 10 further than
America and to visit every one Of the
allied countries, where our gallant com
rades are making this fight for Justice
and right. We come to you not only 70
express sympathy, but to find out VIVA
we can do to help, Japan knows what
war Is. She has experienced all its pain
and horrors and the hearts Of her people
go out to her neighbors in distress
Japan IL not a great. rich country
like America, and her offerings NAV
seem very small when compared with
the magnificent contributions which yoI
have made for Red Cross work but
however humble her efforts may seem
she begs you TO believe that she hracs
with them spirit OF brotherhood and
love which knows no nationality or DIS
tinctlon Of race or creed.
We are animated by the further
thought that greater and wider good
may have birth in those mutual eN-
changes OF sympathy. Our common sor-
rows will reveal ourselves to each
other as only sorrows can. You, ths
people of this great and generous land.
will see in the sympathy which Ne
prefer tho evidences of that oneness %
purpose which animates us all IN tNe
bloody conflict which now shakes TIE
world, japan knows what you are
fighting for and why you are willing
10 sacrifice so nobly and her heart e
with you in the struggle.
III out of this great war America
and Japan shall emerge knowing Zach
other and trusting each Other -f
through our pain and sorrow we are
enabled to build up lasting friendships
and good understandings which g"
storm can shake--then the great word
war which presses upon US so bitterly
to-day will not have been Tough IN
vain"
