begin campaign for the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas seals. In view of this campaign and the mis-
understanding that may arise in the minds of the
public it is necessary that clear definition Of the
Red Cross position should be made. 1t is already

advertising the name of the Red Cross associated
with this campaign. and they inevitably jump to
the conclusion that the Red Cross has con-
cuded one campaign than it is inaugurating another

The National tuberculosis association has for some
years been carrying this sale of Red Cross Christ
mas seals with the consent of the American Red
Cross When the question came up for considera-
ton this year. the Red Cross felt that for the
advantage of both organizations that the right to
carry on the campaign this year should not be de-

tuberculosis association. 1t is the strongest or
ganization of its kind in the country, work
has been of inestinable benefit efforts toward
solution of very serious health situation. That

the National tuberculosis association shall be suf
ficiently financed and as a consequence approves
of this campaign and hopes sincerely for its sue
cess.
On the other hand it should be made perfectly
clear that the is not officially conduct

its chapters It is not in any sense joint enter
prise in so far as conduct of the campaign goes It
is a campaign financed and operated solely by the
National tuberculosis association, and chapters are
