CAN*DIAN: RED CROSS
THE EUROPEAN WAR is nearing its end. That is obvious. Many people,
including members of the Canadian Red Cross, have asked us what our job
will be if the war _should suddenly. end. •
We reply that we can only see ahead greater responsibilities than .ever. Both
in Europe and at home the, work of the Red Cross must go on. The war, Will
not bring an end to suffering and want, to the care Qf our Prisoners of War,
to our Wounded, and to the millions whose homes and way of life have been
dislocated by strife.
We therefore feel that every Canadian has a right to some knowledge of What
our responsibilities will be in the event of peace, and just how we propose to
discharge those responsibilities. We treat each of our main activities under its
respective heading.
PRISONERS OP WAR-With,the end of hos-
tilities our Prisoners of War, will auto-
matically cease to be Prisoners. Chaos and..
breakdown in Germany will . probably
ensue. The Getman state will cease to' care
for them.' They will become wards of the -
Allied General is command of the Occupa-
tion Forces. Transportation will be difficult,
and it will probably take a minimum of six.
months to repatriate the 2,400,000. Cana-
dian, British and Allied Prisoners ie Ger-
man Camps. The need of Prisoners' Parcels
• and Medical Supplies will be doubled.
. They will be distributed by the Allied Com-
mand, and will play a' vital'part in feeding
our men pending re)atriatioq. After the
magnificent job we have done during the
last five years we cannot let our boys in'
German prison camps down. Our Prisoners
in the Far -East will also be a continuing
responsibility. We must carry on until
rvery man, -is back home.,
UROPI'!f'STARVING MI SION1-The job of
eeding Europe's hungry millioas�is stag-ering in' its immensity, ` Over 17,000,000
humans have been tore from their ihoittes.
Many have nowhere tb . fest . their weary
heads. They are starving. Malnutrition is
-the rule rather, than the excelition. There
will be an urgent need for food, clothing
and medical supplies. The ked Cross in
these stricken countries are utterly' depen-
dent on their sister so tu'eties for supplies to
meat' these dire needs, Can we let them
down? The Canadian Red Cross must
go otll ' ro
NV CROSS WORK WITH Ot1R ARMED roll'CIS /
. --Until the last Canadian soldier has left
t
Europe and has been discharged from hos- -
, pital, there' will be important work for the
Red Cross to do. How lopg this will be we
do not know, but one thing we are sure of
and that is that every Canadian at home
will want to make certain,that our boys,,wi 1
be as well looked after with the coming of
peace as they were in war. The care of the
wounded both in Europe and Canada is a '
permanent responsibility which we cannot
evade, No Canadian wants to evade it.
Here again the iced Cross must go on!
BLOOD SERUM SERVICE - Red Cross Blood
Serum has saved countless lives in battle.
. The end of the war- will see the end of
painful war wounds. The demand 'for -
serum on the fighting fronts, except the Far
East, will cease. But the Red Cross Blood
Serum 'S'ervice should be continued for
