! The Japanese Ambassador said that

half of the National Red Cross"
The first obligation OF the Reo
Cross. stated Mr.. Rotch. IS 10 sec
that every X-service man IN our
country has every opportunity TO es-
tabIish any lust claims against the
Government. This work of the Red
Cross is decreasing but so long as
anv man needs that help there should
he somebody there to give that help
There should be the hearteSt CO.
] operation between tho Legion and the
/ Rcd Cross. The Legion hasn't had the
! experience in claim work and in
| handling family affairs OF the dis
| ablod man, that the Red Cross has
| although what work the Legion has
| done in this respect has been handled
| correctly.
