Text of Presidents Address
People in Development of Mercy Organization
Into Unique National Institution.

Clara Barton did not look to Gov
eminent for support for her work. Gov
ernments are always too slow, fire.
quently too short-sighted, to meet the
sudden, sharp demands of critical emer-
gencieS in human suffering. She de-
pended upon the instant response OF
the individual human heart to finance
the instant need. This gave her the
f1exibility and freedom of private Until
alive in her work. The Red Cross has
grown in this tradition. Hundreds OF
times 1t has appealed to the American
people for funds to meet an immediate
situation and invariably the American
people have Immediately responded. II
has raised millions in a week when
millions were needed. No finer illus
tration has ever been given of the tee-
mendous practical power of pure and
unSelfiSh emotion than these outbursts
of American generosity to finance relief
of suffering caused by confederation
flood, earthquake and drought No finer
illustration has ever been given of the
tremendous practical capacity of an or-
gained free citizenry than the skill and
efficiency with which the Red Cross has
administered this relief. This combi-
nation of the warm heart and the cool
head in action is perpetual source OF
just pride to the American people for
it represents them at their best.
Mabel BOardman Honored.
A woman founded the Red Cross and
woman has enlarged its usefulness
Miss Mabel Boardman enjoys a de-
served national honor for her tireleSs
and effective work in the enlargement
of its powers. The men of America. too
have had their indispensable part in its
growth. Judge John Barton Payne has
earned equal honor for his long years
OF devoted leadership across a score of
disasters and for his steadfastness in
holding the organization to its national
ideal as a governmental agency for
the free expression Of the private gen.
erosity and humanity of the people
His wisdom and courage and zeal are
beyond praise
But the greater glory of the Red
Cross belongs to the people themselves
1t is living embodiment of their heart
and soul. 1t has lived and grown be-
cause 1t is a natural outgrowth of their
spiritual impulse. Its sap is drawn from
the soil of their spirit. its leaves are
colored with their thought and its flow
ers are fragrant of their sweetest emo
ton. 1t is as truly theirs as the FLAG
or the public school. They wished Ii
and they willed it into being. It grows
with their growth. They support it as
spontaneously as they support the
church or the lodge. They control il
as simply and as naturally as they con-
troll the operations of the district
school. They will thus support it and
control it so long as it continues what
IL is--the natural repository OF their
generosity, the effective. practical In
strument OF their eager wish to relieve
human suffering It will remain. as II
has been and is, chief glory and pride
of the American democracy.

The text of President Hoover's adj
dress at the fiftieth anniversary cele-
bration CT the Red Cross today follows:
The Red Cross is one Of the most
beautiful flowers of the American spirit
and the American democracy. 1t rep
resents our people in their most gen.
erous unself1sh and spontaneously
warm-hearted character. And 1t rep
reSentS them in the most effective ex-
erciSe of their powers of organization
and self government Supported wholly
by the voluntary gifts of the people, 1t
is managed by the voluntary service OF
high-minded private citizens. And yet
it occupies a unique position in the
public mind as a truly national insti-
tuition, living organism of the people,
vitalized by their affection, fed by their
gladly given money. and firmly rooted
in their trust. Through the Hottest
of all spiritual qualities-charity-it
has become the guardian of the people
from suffering in times OF disaster. 1t
has commanded the recognition of
governments, its charters are conferred
by special act. its position in interna-
tional activities is guaranteed by
treaty. BY its very purpose It. compels
the respect for its own flag and its
own passports.
Praises Clara Barton.
The so years of the life of the Red
Cross, which the American people cele-
brate today, have been years of evo-
luton of an impulse and an idea and
a method to produce this greatest in
stitution in alienation Of human suf-
fering that We have ever known. Its
beginnings were small, and it grew
because it expressed the humanity and
the generosity and the practical help
fulneSS natural to our people. And,
like so many of the benign social
agencies that bless our democracy, 1t
sprang from the mind and the heart
of a woman. Clara Barton was in
that the Red Cross has since become.
She in turn gained much of her in
Spifation from another great woman
Florence Nightingale. The magnificent
structure of today grew IN around Miss
Barton's passionate pity for the sick
and the distressed and her practical
genius and energy in their relief. She
was the miniStering angel CT the bat
tlefields and hospitals of the Civil War.
When peace returned she still lived
like soldier, with her field tent and
equipment always packed and ready to
respond instantly to the call Of duty.
The Johnstown flood found her ready,
and within an hour after it was re-
ported she was on her way to the
stricken city. She responded TO a
thousand such calls, but her service
on the battlefield and her service at
Johnstown especially captured the
public imagination, and it is these two
things that have largely directed the
development of the character of the
American Red Cross. 1t has evolved
into an agency for the nursing of the
wounded in war and for the relief of
the victims of disaster in time of peace
