Red Cross Aide
Threatens Shift
OF Convention

Inadequacy of the auditorium
space available for the American
Red Gross Convention, which has
4,500 delegates registered, has
brought from James L. Fieser, vice
chairman in charge of domestic op-
erations, threat to take the meet
ing elsewhere next year.
Mr.. Fieser made the comment to-
day as he began an address before
the convention in Memorial CONT
mental Hall.
I'VE hope to have the convention
next year" he said, some place
where we can accommodate all those
who take an interest in the Red
Cross"
There were many delegates stand
ing in the rear of the hall as Mr..
Fieser turned aside from the text Of
his prepared speech to mention
space.
The opening session yesterday was
held in the larger. adjacent Corsti-
tuition Hall, but this auditorium

are being held in Memorial CONT

wants to speed up the organization
and production necessary to put thi,
Nation on an all-out defense basis
And the whole country has recog-
nized, with prompt unanimity, the
all-important correlative of this rln-
precedented effort-namely, that
safeguarding the health and vel
fare of all the people, both civil and
military. is an essential sector OF
total defense"
Help Strengthen Efforts.
The job of the Federal Govern
inert in health and welfare, Mr.
McNutt emphasized, is mot to usurp
and not to take over ary RESPONSE
bilities or prerogatives OF communi-
ties, or Of the people in them, or
Of the States in which they are To-
Gated" but simply to strengthen
the hand of the State and local gov
ernmental agencies and private
groups"
Mrs. Dwight Davis, national di-
rector of the Red Cross Volunteer
Special Services, pointed out at the
session yesterday afternoon that at
the outbreak of the present war
$4,000 women were working as vol
unteers in the organization TO-
day." she added, I'VE are million
strong"
These volunteers, she reported,
have made more than 5000, 900 gar
ments, most of which have been
shipped to Britain, and at is graft
flying to know that thousands of
people who have survived a bombing
with only tattered rags on their
backs and with hearts near break
ing have been completely outftted
in these Red Cross clothes"
Describing the work of the Red
Cross in countries blighted by war,
Ernest j. Swift, national vice chair
man, in charge of insular and for
eign operations, added:
There are innumerable projects
being conSidered-a supply commits
sion in the Middle East, air ambu-
lance services, hospital ships. medi-
cal and ambulance units-some
practical, others not"
Ideals Become Reality.
In country after country. the
world around" he said. Red Cross
ideals are held high in dismal places.
They are translated into reality BY
experienced Red Cross men efficient
ly distributing Red Cross supplies,
bringing material relief and spirit
ual comfort to thousands of victims
of modern warfare"
"Pan-American Relations" was the
subject of an address by Joseph R.
Hamlen. chairman of the Boston
Metropolitan Chapter.
There is" he said. "a philosophy
behind the Red Cross program, which
1t seems to me, has the same basic
concept as that which we call pan
Americanism."
Mr.. Hamlen added that "the in
ternational Red Cross movement
and -Americanism are both
built on the fundamental principle
that sound international relation
ships are marked, not so much by
formal political systems, as they are
by the spontaneous efforts Of citi-
zens of different countries to know
and to help each other"
