PRESIDENT ADDRESSES
RED CROSS CONVENTION
Continued from Page y


security, as police and criminal
courts, and bolts and bars are nee
essary. They are adjuncts of peace,
but they are negative forces. They
do not create they resist. They are
not the ultimate force in the world.
They do not make the final deter
limitations among men Over them all
is a higher power.
Mankind has not yet, cannot yet,
discard the use of these forces. 1t
is significant, however, that the
great nations have at last agreed
upon their limitation. But 1t is even
more significant that civilization is
coming to rely more and more upon
moral force. 1t is because the Red
Cross has been a practical applica-
ton of that principle, that it has
been such a tremendous success. 1t
makes its appeal for support direct
to the conscience of mankind.
1t does not attempt to function
through the direct action of organ
lied government. 1t does not have
in it any element of compulsion.
1T is the voluntary Offering of
the people themselves. Whenever
and wherever an emergency has re-
suited in human suffering, to the
extent of it's ability it administers
whatever may be necessary for tenn
porary relief.
1T is in this direction that there
lies the hope of real progress. The
ancient ideals of human brother
hood of service, the application OF
the golden rule, of peace on earth
and good will towards men, are idle
dreams, unless they can be trans
lated into practical action. 1t is
necessary. on the one hand to avoid
the illusions of the Missionaries and
on the other hand, the fndifferences
of the selfish. Each individual and
each nation W their first duty to
themselves. Beyond that, there is
no obligation of the strong to serve
the weak, but to administer such
service in a way that will not de-
stroy or degrade by making mendi-
caHtI but will restore and strength
en- by making character. 1t is the
policy which helps in an emergency,
but realizes that. finally each indl-
viduaI and each nation must work
out their own destiny.
