RED CROSS REPORT
eBy Mrs. J. I. Morris)

inq the old, developing the new tbe former is chiefly foreign op- eration, the latter mainly oo- mestic measure.
 To Function at Home: It IS de- siqned to concentrate the man stTencth of Amercan Req Cross III tbe future on the needs of the Tinted States. It would be crminal not to apply to welfare problems at home. The experience and tecn- nioue winch the Amersan Red cross has acquired dGiing the war, the accomplishments of the past are pledge to the fLcl-e. Does anS. one question the need of the hed Cross method at home? Has the work of organizing our land Tor the promotion of pubic health and pup lie welfare advanced so far that the inter-penetrativ Red Cross reaching into every hamlet, can do nothing to ass, a work to which it is dedicated by the genius of Its origin and for which it has been trained through an unparalleled ex- perience of war relief? Does mo- body in the United States need assistance and advice-are there no victims of industrialism, are all the mill towns hygienically per feet, has ignorance disappeared from all rural communities in the United States, are there no more such problems, IS no concerted ac- tion needed to check tuberculosis and preventable diseases, are there no more problems of idleness, des- titution, dependency, waywardness, in the United States, no more small town problems with youth run ming to waste from sheer ennui, no more incompetent parents, no more illegitimacy, has the war itself left no problems of after care, no misery of individuals or family? Each of these questions and hund- red others carries it's own affirma- tive answer. As to the problems of peace, realizing that the de- partment of civilian relief of the American Red Cross must look far beyond the days when war time tasks will be finished.
 Other phases of Red Cross war work are slowing down, but with Home Service it is different. Home Service is not over, it has not diminished in volume. Home Ser vice workers are now working hard CT than ever before.
 These figures tell the story: 300,- 900 soldiers and sailors families in one month was the Home Ser vice high-water mark during the war; but six months after the sign ing of armistice, 460,000 families sought the services of the Red Cross. Each succeeding month since last November mems families came to the Home Service Sections; and no Home Service worker would venture to say that the peak has been reached.
 "Why is it that Home Service contlnueS-muSt contlnue-long a1- ter other phases of Red Grass war work in the United States shall have subsided? because, during de- mobilization and the period of sol diers' and sailors readjustment to civil life which follows demobo- liization, no less than before, are families subject to sickness, fin ancial, business, and legal troub- les. Soldiers and sailors wives and mothers are just as much in need of counsel and guidance in household management, and disci- pline and education of children !; they are equally in need of protec- ton against the vicious and un- serupulous. The demobilized ser vice man turns to the Home Ser vice Section with delayed allotment

the evidence shall offer will be con-
vtncing TO every honest mind
Il wish 1t were possible to spread
the entire record before the public. In
general way l think it, is not pre-
| mature TO ask attention to these
broad and indsputable facts
First: The national banks of the
country after five and one-half years
of my administration as comptroller
are In sounder. cleaner and stronger
condition than ever before in the more
than nifty years of the national bank
ing system, and with all the strain
OF war and readjustment show fewer
failures actually than ever before, The
last two and one-half years as mat
ter OF fact. the number OF failures
per 1000 national banks per annum
has been only one-sixteenth OF the an
nual average of the preceding twenty
five years, and the resources OF these
hanks have grown more in the past
six years than in the entire forty
seven years preceding.
/ "Of course. do not claim these
splendid results to be due to my man
agement or direction. do say they
could not have been achieved under a
corrupt, inefficient or unreasonable ad
ministration of the comptroller's Of
tlce.
Second: OF the 1850 banks under
my supervision and their twenty thou
sand executives. only the executive
of one bank and one attorney for
tanother bank thut acting In his per-
sonai capacity onlyl have appeared
thus far to object to my confirmation
this being the second. hearing before
the senate committee--kept before the
public through four months One other
bank official has made an attack in
a court. All the three banks repre-
scented have been under severe criti-
cism from this office long before any
question OF my reappointment arose
in fact all three were under criticism
by previous comptrollers and all three
have been forced to cease or abate
their violations of the law.
Perhaps these two statements are
sufficient to cover the case, but l in
tend to take up each consequential
allegation and accusation separately
and demonstrate it's falsity and expose
it's origin. This ! take as distinct
and DEFINITE promise to the public.

asking the question. but no one knows
the answer.
But whatever may have been in his
mind when he made the remarkable
statement, 1t is generally agreed here
that the sentences quoted alone will
be used by opponents to the league in
America as ammunition,
However. there is a question of even
deeper interest connected with the
Lansing statement which is being
eagerly discussed here today, namely,
lin what specific points. If any, was
President Wilson opposed by his fell
low delegates here?"
First intimation that all has not
been harmony throughout the peace
work among the members of the
American commission came with the
news from Washington that Senator
Baroh had requested in resolution
that the senate be acquainted with the
signed by Secretary Lansing. Henry
White and General Bliss, and address
ed TO Mr.. Wilson. in which these
plenipotentiaries had set forth a
specific and detailed argument against
the Shantung settlement as supported
by the president and finally made part
OF the peace treaty with Germany

Mr.. Lansing added that all peace

Lansing said. This Reorganization, he
