HERBERT HOOVER
Secretary of Commerce and
Chairman of the American
Relief Administration on
the Situation in the Near
East

An appalling situation of suffer
ing, involving hundreds of thousands
of people who have been forced to
flee from their homes in the Near
East and to seek refuge in lands al
ready bnrdencd with care, has en-
phasized to the people in this coun-
try that the American Red Cross
is our National Emergency Fund
with which to meet great crisis in
disaster, The accentuation of the
fact IS the greater in that the partic-
ular calamity now appealing TO hu-
mainly has fallen just in advance Of
the American Red Cross annual Roll
Cali.
The resources OF the American
Red Cross must be annually re-
plenishcd through the Roll Call. This
year the summons is seconded by n
concrete emergency of the kind that
is ever liable to be precipitated upon
the world. 1t is impossible for the
Red Cross to be dependent upon a
pubIc appeal for the specific OBJ
Jects, because when emergency and
disaster face us we have no time TO
wait until funds can be raised. The
Red Cross is our ever-ready- agency
Tor responding to the call OF calamity
the moment the alarm is sounded.
The American Red Cross should
have minimum membership of ten
million in order that its reserves may
be equal 10 our domestic and our
foreign emergencies in humane pur
poses. In the light of my experience
IN relief work throughout the world.
feel it my duty to express my per-
sonal hope that the people OF Amer
ica will show their confidence in their
Red Cross in this Roll Call in unmis
taxable terms. Let's al get behind
the Red Cross and give it ten million
members for its great work.

ern trip that progress has been. made.
The mill was reopencd last Tues.
day and will be continued in. full
operations as long as help can be
obtained. Pressure is being brought
to bear on prominent local men to
build cottages near the mill. 1t is be-
licved that work started BY Wilcox
and Fleenor will result in a mill
town rising around the mill.
The Gap wants and needs more
business. \ great deal of effort and
money We're spent in bringing the
hosiery mill to this place. AS i,
stands today the huge plant cannot
be operated full capacity because OF
labor shortage, due to a shortage
OF homes. At the present time 9th.
err Industries are under discussion
and effort is being mnde to bring
them to the Gap. Until such times as
the town can demonstrate it's ability
to support the mill it seems waste
of time to think of bringing Others
IN. With the right sort Of local sup.
port the mill can and will become n
real asset to the town.
