miles long involved an expenditure
up to June 80 of 3774,OOO, while the
total amount turned in to the fund
through the agency of the Red Cross
was $2,645,000. In addition to this
sum specifically collected for the pur
pose, the Red Cross had expended
from its regular reserves $124,000.
In all these disasters, Red Cross
workers have been impressed by the
spirit of determination and hopeful
ness shown by the people. Once they
recovered from their grief and bewil-
derment, they began at once to re-
build, materially and otherwise, and
always on a better scale where posi-
BILE. Another significant feature of
these occurrences, as noted in the re-
port of the Red Cross, was the prompt
ness with which the local chapters
organized emergency relief before
help could be received from outside
sources. A direct effect of their ex-
ample has been to stimulate disaster
relief preparedness among chapters
all over the country.
The services of the American Red
Cross are performed invariably in the
name of the American people. On the
effectiveness of this representation
during the past year, it will launch
the ninth anHual roll call this year
on November II, to continue until
Thanksgiving, November 26, during
which support through membership
will be invited for 1926.

RED CROSS Year
A RELIEF RECORD
Huge Relief Work After Midwest
Tornado the Greatest in
American Annals.
DISASTERS DROP IN 1925
Ranged From Fire to Earthquake
and Covered Wide Area at
Home and Abroad.

Virtual completion of the largest
peace-time project of post-disaster re
habilitation ever known has been &C
oomplished by the American Red
! Cross in less than year, as part
of it's relief work in the more than
80 disasters in which it served in the
past year.
This great program was undertaken
| following the tornado which struck
| five midwestern States last spring,
killing 1876 people, injuring 2,239 more,
and causing inestimable property loss.
1t left a huge area of devastation in
its wake, presenting real problem.
The Red Cross, however, went to
work on the heels of the storm. car
ing for the injured, sheltering and
feeding whole communities, and help
ing every individual sufferer from the
destruction back to normal.
The magnitude of the problem is in
dicated by comparison of its huge cas-
ualty list with that Of the entire pre-
ceding year, whose combined losses
were 735 dead and not quite 1000 in
jured, as result of the record num-
ber of 1872 catastrophieS.
The story OF the Red Cross service
in the past year, recounted by the re-
port, ranges from fires heading the list
of destructive forces with 20 disasters,
to mine explosions, tornadoes, ty-
phoons, floods and earthquakes.
The Santa Barbara earthquake was
among the outstanding events record
ed in the report. The Red Cross had
completed it's relief organization on
the scene within a few hours of the
disaster, and in addition had launched
a program designed to permanently
restore every person affected by 1t.
to his former status once more.
The Red Cross service in the period
following the wreck of the Navy air
ship Shenandoah" was typical Of it's
rromptness and effectiveness. Serv-
ice in this instance was afforded by
Red Cross chapters in the vicinity OF
the wreck, and by representatives OF
the national organization. 1t demon
strates graphically the value of each
of the more than 5000 chapters OF
the society which are at work in Vir-
tually every part of the country, in
the facility they afford the national
organization in emergencies.
There were 81 domestic disaster op-
erations reported in which the Red
Cross rendered service either through
chapter or national staff personnel
during the year. In "a Of these the
rational organization appropriated a
total of $3,047 ,256.49, the greater por-
tion OF which was received as direct
contributions for the relief of speci-
fed disasters. The relief operations
following the northern Ohio tornado
of June, 1924, were brought to close
in May, 1925, after an arrangement
had been made with the Lorain chap
ter to provide expert services to the
families Of any tornado sufferers who
required such assistance in the next
two years. In this single disaster the
relief work. as finally accounted,
reached a total of $1,019,751.23.

Red Cross First Aid
Popular in America
AS Accidents Gain

The rapidly mounting toll from
traffic accidents has brought home to
the public the necessity of being pre-
pared to render prompt assistance
while awaiting the doctor. During the
past year 356 chapters of the Amerf-
can Red Cross were instructing
classes in First Aid, and in the same
period certificates were issued to
20,6O1 persons qualified by Red Cross
experts.
Many cities throughout the United
States are showing interest In secur-
ing first aid instruction for their po-
lice and fire department personnel,
and through the work of local chap
ters, practical results have been OBJ
tained in such cities as Washington,
D. c.: Toledo, o.; Boston, Mass;
South Bend and Indianapolis, Ind;
Port Arthur, Texas, and other cammu-
mites. In cooperation with the State
authorities, intensive training IN first
aid and rescue methods has been
given to State police and constabulary
members at four State training
schools
instruction in these subjects in
public and private schools, colleges
and universities has increased during
the year. Attention has been given to
training teachers at institutes and
summer schools.
The Red Cross first aid railroad car
has been in continuous operation
throughout the year. 1t covered
10,340 miles, visiting 1877 cities, where
1900 meetings were conducted by the
surgeons, with total of 146.S27
people.
Industries particularly have availed
themselves of the instruction afforded
by the Red Cross. The Western Elec-
trio Company, for example, reports
reduction of the accident rate per
1000 employees.

money is available for the purpose

Schools Take Vast Sums
Ohioans paid total of S24l,-

sum does not include taxes paid in
the form Of special assessment,
which were s24,S37,969.01 and in
direct taxes paid into the state
treasury totaling s2,O27,0S4.3S. OF
the almost quarter of billion
paid in direct taxes, schools took
S11O,3S8,24794. This represented
almost twice as much as was col
lected for running city and village
governments, the total for these
purposes being 66,431,794.60. OF
the taxes paid through county treas
urers only $3,118,0 ,035.60 went to the

to them"
So speaks the French general, g
master liar in the employ Of the
French imperialists. He lauds the
heroic" act of the American volun-
teers as if it were inspired by the en-
tire American nation. To quote again
his own words: 1.-THE American peo-
pie have always been on the side of
justice and this offer of new service
to France is sign of their belief
that our war in Morocco is a battle
for civilization and Justice
THE general is lying. The great
toiling masses Of America refuse
to be deceived this time. They do not
believe that the invasion of French
Imperialism in Morocco against the
heroic and brave people, fighting val
iantly for their independence, can be
explained as a war for civilization
and Justice" The American workers
understand that not civilization and
justice are endangered by the Moroc-
cans, but that the French imperialist

en- this act by the American govern
ment. In their conception these high
ranked officer-aviators are not heroes
but simply hired assassins and MUIR
derers which should be tried for the
destruction and murder they will in
hict upon the totally innocent popula-
ton of Morocco. 1t is quite clear that
these volunteer aviators we're bought
by the promise of still higher titles,
and altho at the present time it is
said they receive only one franc a day,
it is quite clear that a much greater
reward is awaiting them in the future.
But what prompts the American
government to allow the organization
of American detachments for war
against the natives of Morocco? Here,

too, the explanation is to be found
not in the field of idealism, but in the
field Of imperialist self interest What
would happen with the loans of mill
lions of dollars by the House Of Nor
gan and Company to the bankrupt
French imperialist government IL
France were to lose her African col
onies? What would happen with the
payment Of war loans of France con-
cluded in America?
THE interests of French and Ameri-
4 can Imperialism are interlocked.
They demand the subsection of Moroc-
cans. The interests of workers are diff
ferent 1t is in their interest not that
the French and American Imperialism
become strengthened, but, on the con-
trary, that the exploited colonial peo-
pie win over their imperialist oppres-
sors.
That is the reason why the Ameri-
can workers must demand that the

it should compensate the Moroecans
for the destruction of life and prop
erty which was caused by the Ameri-

sion"
The Workers (Communist) Party Of
America, the defender and champion
of the exploited colonial people should
be the first to act 1t must tear off
the mask from American imperialism;
the party should demand an explana-
ton why the government permits its
ofticer-aviators to carry on war against
the peaceful population of Morocco
and why it assists the French imperi-
alists to suppress this population. Our
party should organize the working

LAS the United States declared war
IL on the Moroccans? No, there has
been no official declaration of war.
However, how could we interpret the
action of a squadron of volunteer Am
erican aviators, holding high ranks
in the American aviation service who
have offered their services to the
French government to assist in the
military offensive against the Riffians?
How will the Rifians interpret the
action of this squadron when it will
proceed to lombard their troops, to
burn the villages of the natives and
to kill innocent civilians. their wives
and children? Surely, they will in
terpret that as a declaration OF war,
since it becomes apparent that this
squadron is acting with the consent
and under the silent approval of the
American government.
THAT this is actually taking place
is becoming apparent from the fol
lowing report which we read in the
Chicago Daily News edition of July
Is:
Paris: Premier Painleve last
night gave his consent to the forma-
ton of new Lafayette-American
air squadron to proceed at once TO
the Moroccan battlefields. This
squadron is being organized by
Colonel Charles Sweeney and thus
far the following veterans, who saw
service in the French and American
armies during the world war, have
asked to join: Mai. Grey of Chi
cago, who commanded an American
flying group in 1918 and won four
teen victories; Captain VIM. Rogers
of Pittsburgh, formerly of the La
fayette squadron; Maj. Baer, assist
ant chief of the Peruvian air serv-
air police reserve force; Paul Rock
well, formerly correspondent of
the Daily News in Paris; Maj. Pol
lock, who helped organize the New
York air police; Commander Park
er, who won eight victories while in
the Lafayette squadron; Col Ker-
wood, who saw service in the United
States French, HondllFan and Greek
armies and organized the New York
air police reserve.
THE members of the new unit
will have French airplanes and will
reach Morocco about July %, in
time to take part in the big French
offensive against Abd-el-Krim."
WHEN the high ranked American
" officers will take an active part
in the subjugation OF Moroccans by
the French troops. they win do SO I'M
doubtedly with the consent and silent
approval of the American government.
To be sure we do not want to imply
that there has been an official ex-
change Of notes between the French
and the American governments on the
subject. Such would be unnecessary.
and even embarrassing. But can any
