Truth About the Red Cross
The Globe and Mail;
I1: your neighbour tolls yon the Canadian Red Cross Society
is selling the socks and sweaters that patriotic women knit for
the soldiers, and sailers, it's a Nazi lie: The Red' Gross bas newer
been able to obtain proof that socks so made are being sold for
49 cents a pair, or any other price. The canard' has been officially
denied a score of tines, but is still circulating.
Out of every dollar subscribed to the Canadian Red Cross
Society 80 cents is being used for actual; war work, 14.5 cents for
t peacetime services, and only 3.6 cents for administration.
The Canadian Red Cross leas for months been shipping
thousands of cases of hospital supplies, surgical dressings and
comforts, including knitted geode made by Canadian women, to
be available in England for emergeueies,. Thousands •of refugees
from Holland and Belgium who have poured into England are
being helped. An organization has been set up to minister to
the Canadian atldiers overseas.. A 600 -bed Red Cross hosj*tal
has been erected and equipped at Tapl'bw, near Windsor Castle.
Canadian prisoners of war in, Germany will be fed and cared for,
as they were during the last war, whenn 2,700 were supplied the
necessities of life in one month.
Nazi lies about the Canadian Red Cross are circulated to dis-
courage the thousands of women across the Dominion who are
giving of their time and effort voluntarily to provide eomfart
for the gallant fighting meet,
Subscribers to this humanitarian society will realize that the
Red Cross is definitely an emergency organization which cannot
be tied down to a prepared budget controlled by a joint community
chest effort. Its work is universal, and its scope is limited only
by the need.
