RED CROSS BUDGET

Operations.

Heavily increased demands upon the
American Red Cross for disaster relief
have caused a substantial increase in
the budget for the new years opera
tionS, James L. Fisser, acting chairman,
announced last night. Added to this.
the expansion of Red Cross activities
will necessitate a total budget of
$4,798,0 900 in the forthcoming year, not
including expenditures made in the
West Indies hurricane area.
To meet these increased expenditures
in service vital to the American people,
Mr.. Fieser said, the Red Cross must as
suredly top its goal Of 100000 men,
bers.
Commenting on the budget for 1929

100000 had been appropriated from
the general funds of the Red Cross for
disaster relief work over and above all
sums specially contributed for disaster
relief, He pointed out that for the past
six years the Red Cross had expended
81, 100000 per annum for disaster re-
lief above contributions by the public.

"The Red Cross was called upon for
help in about ITO disasters in the past
two years." Mr.. FieSer said. I'm all OF
these disasters the first requirement Is
for emergency aid, and this assistance
comes from the money resources OF the
Red Gross. Ranking in Importance
with disaster relief work Is the service
rendered by the Red Cross to the dis
abled soldiers of the World War and to
those who have returned to civil life.
For their assistance, we have budgeted
$867, 900 for the coming year. The Red
Cross also provides friendly service for
the men in the Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps, and for this work $3O8,OOO
has been appropriated.
"The Red Cross maintains a reserve

Al ,252 nurses. For the coming year,
$4,000 has been set aside.
