American Red Cross.

The American Red Cross has be-
| come an intimate part of our nation
al life. Under its Congressional
Charter it is a semi official agent of
the Government, but it belongs new
ertheless to the people. 1t is the in
strument of the people in giving ex-
| preston to the lofty, unselfish hui
manitarianism, the practical idealism,
characteristic of this Nation from its
humble beginnings.
The American Red Cross has been
tested in war and the aftermath of
war; in fire, flood and famine, and
in the emergencies of peace. It has
been proved an indispensable instru-
ment for the alienation of suffering
and the betterment of human life in
our own and other lands.
We should make Enthusiastically
clear our faith in this instrument we
/ have created for rendering service.
AS individuals it is our duty and
privilege to be a part of this organ
ization.
Yearly, from Armistice Day to
Thanksgiving Day, the American
Red Cross invites all the people 20
enter it's ranks. It enrolls them for
service. AS President of the United
States and as President of the Am
erican Red Cross I urge universal ac-
ceptance of the invitation to join.
The Red Cross needs and should
have your generous support. Let its
good works become your good works.
