Distress Beyond Comprehension.
The situation in the world today Is
tragic beyond description The dis
tress IN the world is of course greater
than EVER before and beyond coupre
tension To ne, therefore. IL is clear

primarily TO conditions in those OH
tries which have suffered directly from
the war.
But our experience and studies
have revealed conditions in othef
countries which are conducive 10 dis

Mr.. Dawson alluded to the work Of

countries represented In them. includ

and continued:
Our present thought IN that on
first efforts should the subjects

laria and certain other infectious dis
eases. There would be developed al
Geneva an organization which would
receive from every Red Cross society
In the world any Information Of In
terest and importance bearing upor
the various subjects In which they
were interested. This organization
would Immediately communicate such
information to every other Red Gross
organization In the world. By this
method the entire world would be kept
fully informed Of the latest and best
practices In various subjects.
Central Bureau at Geneva
ANY pertinent development or dis
covery of importance In science would
at once be transmitted to a bureau In
Geneva and from there in turn Inn
mediately transmitted to every Red
Cross organization In the world. The
result of this program, as We see IL
may be briefly stated under three
heads:
"First-It would awaken the peoples
In every country of the world to o
sense of their obligation TO their fel.
low men and there would naturally
follow In each country an awakening
to the needs within that country and
a determination to meet them as far
as possible.
"Second-It would throw light on the
darkest corners of the earth and
would give to all the world the full
benefit Of scientific study and expert
ence in the prevention and cure Of
disease.
"Third-It would make possible the
immediate cooperation on the part of
the various organizations TO render aid
when necessary In the case Of great
disasters.
IF IL had been possible to effect this
organization two years ago IL Is con-
ceivable that there would be going to-
day TO the various countries now In
distress supplies and aid which would
give comfort to and restore to health
millions of people who cannot now be
cared for. No one knows how many
millions hsYp died during the last wear
