CALLING FOR FUNDS
Government Would Avail Its

Washington. No-10. Presi
dent Harding in a proclamation is
sued today calling attention to
he annual membership roll call
of the American Red Cross, which
tegins tomorrow, declared '"there
re peculiarly ugent reasons to
ppeal this year in behalf of an
even greater generosity than has
been necessary in some other
imes." .
Americans Favored
Notable among thof reasons
the situation in the Near East
where he asserts millions' of peo
ple must-look to more favored
national communities such as the
United Stages for the means of
He. Be bespeaks the aid of the
American .people for the Red
Cross as one of the. chief relief
agencies and the Cooperation of
Americans in the support of all
the organizations at work in that
portion of the world.
Proclamation Issued
The proclamation follows:
"To the American People:
"The assurance, based on many
years experience, that there will
be prompt and generous response,
makes it always a satisfaction to
direct public attention to the an
nual Membership Roll Call of the
American 'Cross. This year
It will open On Armistice Day,-No
vember 11, and Close oti Thanks
giving Day, November 30. As
President of the United States and
also President or the American

and invite all the people to unite
with their spiritual leaders in
snch observance of it asmay pro
mote a renewed consecration to
the . gospel - of service based upon
divfne injunction ; and sanctioned
by all good conscience'.
Demands Many
'By the " terms t&f the Congres
sional charter which called .It into
being, the American Red Cross is
charged with certain ''clearly 'de
fined duties and obligations. These
t has continued, during the past
year, to discharge faithfully, and
fficiently. There are " peculiarly
argent reasons to appeal, this
year. In behalf of: an even greater
generosity" than "has" been, neces
sary in some other times, because

on such services 1 of mercy and
humanity. , One of, the moat fear

area, rwhere the lives of millions
of unfortunate people even now
depend, and musr. continue for a
long time to depend, on the un
tiring liberality of more, favored
communities.
Much Is Needed
A very great sm is. required to
be raised if the emergency shall
be met; and while the task is one
to which all well-disposed peoples
must contribute, our own country
in virtue alike of its inspirations
of humanity and its fortunate en
dowment in material possessions,
must' be conspiiup.ua for both the
great Share lt sha'lt'gtve, and the
high spirit animatingjthe gift. It
Is therefore asked lhat coopera
tion be established between the
Red Cross, theNear East Relief,
and all other agencies which are
concerned ; to assist in dealing
with this crisis.
"In the domestic field, demands
continue to press heavily upon the
Red-Cross. The government is
earnestly seeking to insure to
every diseased or disabled ex-ser
vice man the full measure of care
and help which national gratitude
and simple Justice dictate. The
aim must be to restore every ser
vice man to the best possible
health and the largest opportunity
for a normal and self-supporting
life. In this effort the govern
ment, the army and navy, have
gladly availed themselves of the
assistance of the Red Cross
which, dne to its nation-wide vol
unteer organization, has . been a
constant and valued aid.
