 The American Red Cross will have a great peace-time program and chapter and division organizations must be kept intact, not only to finish the war work but to deal with the problems of relief, on public health and of child and family welfare that will remain after peace is concluded. Red Cross members will accept with enthusiasm the opportunity to deal with these problems locally, nationally and throughout the whole world under the banner of the Red Cross.
 This was the conclusion reached by more than 300 delegates, representing practically all Red Cross chapters of the northwestern division,. who met in second annual conference at divi- sion headquarters, in Seattle.
 Q. D. Stimson, manager of the northwestern division of the Red Cross, called the conference to order at ten o'clock Thursday morning, April 10, extended hearty welcome to the delegates and made the open ing address. "The war work of the Red Cross Is far from finished" said MT. Stimson. There are still a million men under arms. AS long as there are sick and wounded men in our military hos. pitfalls; as long as there are dicharged soldiers not yet restored to health or returned to industry; as long as any soldier or sailor or his family needs the service we can render-the home service, the canteen service and the military relief work of the Red Cross must go on. As long as refugees are shivering and. starving in, the devas- tated and liberated sections of Europe, without adequate provision for their necessities, our foreign relief work must continue"
 Mr. Stimson expressed the opinion that there would be no more large production quotas after the conclu- sion of those now in the hands of the chapters, but urged that chapters hold skeleton production organiza- tion and minimum production equip ment to respond to the emergency calls that are sure to come from time to time.
 Mir. Stimson also reviewed briefly j the achievements of the Red Cross "a ~ |. .D-l..
