RED CROSS MEET
'Organization Has Worked
to Develop Feeling of Re
sponsibility in Misfortune
of Others,' He Says
WASHINGTON, April 10. In 8
message to the Red Cross annual con
vention. President Roosevelt said to
day the . organisation had "worked
to develop among our people a feel
ing of responsibility In the misfor
tunes of others" and the activities
"may have a more lar-reachlng effect
than Is generally apparent."
The messages, sent from the yacht
Nourmahal. wis road to the conven
tion after Henry Morgenthau, Sr., had
appealed for support of the Red Cross
In order to make It " a. school where
the brotherhood ' of man Is not only
taught but practiced."
The Presldent'a message follows:
"Honorable John Barton Payne,
''Chairman American Red Cross,
"Washington, O. C.
"I am sorry that circumstances aro
such that I cannot be present, at the
opening of the National Red Cross
convention. At the same time I do
not want you to think that because
i am permitting myself to enjoy a
brief vacation I am not deeply Inter
ested In 'the proceedings and work of
your convention.
Not All Apparent.
- !'Ae t have thought over what thl
convention represent, it- has occurred
to me that the activities of the Red
Cross may have a more far-reaching
effect than Is generally apparent. You
have worked to develop among our
people a feeling of responsibility In
the misfortune of others. You arc
the instrument of expression of a
great group of Americans who have
given generously for human welfare
In times of distress or emergency.
The guidance which you have given
has been practical, woll-planned and
far-sighted.
'. -"These are accomplishments which
we look for In other phases of our
national life. A sense of responsi
bility for the welfare of others sure
ly we need tint In the men who are
leaders In our prlvste as well as In
our public life. Well-planned and
far-sighted measures to assure this
welfare euroly we need them, too.
"It seems clesr to me, then, that
In serving the Red Cross you are also
aiding by example those similar great
causes for which this nation Is gaily
striving.
"I m happy, therefore, to offer to
Judge Payne and to you all, my con
gratulations and my wishes for the
continued success of your generous
activities.
"Franklin D. Roosevelt."

Southern Oregon, trhree yean ago,
made such an Impression upon a Ut

an article about the region, entitling j
It. "Ood'a Country." The article
Binned "Ima Traveler." appeared In '

WASHINGTON, April 10. (UP)
The Roosevelt administration's poli
cies threaten to "carry us over .the
brink of Inflation to complete chaos"
Senator David A. fleed, R. Pa., de
clared yesterday.
Pledging hlmsel to continue to
support the president when "I be
lieve him to be right and to oppose
him when I believe him to be wrong,"
Reed denounced many administra
tion policies as "futile and fantastic,"'
"poisonous," "wasteful and danger
ous to American civilization."
May Bo Keynote.
Reed Is a leading conservative Re
publican spokesman In the senate.
His platform seemed likely to be tak
en as a keynote by many Republicans
In the congressional campaigns which
will provide their first tests of popu
lar opinion In the Illinois primaries
this week.
"In the name of national recovery."
Reed said, "the present administra
tion has launched the country on a
course which, unless soon checked
may well carry us over the brink of
Inflation to complete cbaoa nd
which even now mortgages the future
of our youth and wastes wildly the
slowly accumulated savings and, pre
sent earnings of all the people.
Sk to Change Course.
'A little band of men In Washing
ton are seeking covertly, to change
our course as a nation, to Increase
the power of the central government
and to substitute for Individual Initi
ative a government control of all ag
ricultural production and all busi
ness activity. I am agalns't that and
I can never support policies which to
me seem likely to lead us In that
direction.
"Deluged by promises of magic
cures for ancient Ills, America Is be
ing fed poisons from which It will
take decades to recover.
"I call upon the people of Pennsyl
vania to Join me In a stern and sin
cere protest against the wasteful pol
icies which, carried Into effect with
no warning, without submission to
the people, threaten their happiness
nnd security and Invite disaster for
the nation."
Announces Creed. -
Declaring he was fighting "for the
liberties, the Justice, the domestic
tranquility, the common defense and
the general welfare which the consti
tution guarantees to all Americans,"
Reed set forth his creed:
"I do not believe that we can spend
our way to prosperity. ,
,"I am unwilling to see destroyed in
four years a civilization which has
been centuries In the building.
"I am opposed to fascism ns strong
ly as to communism.
"I believe that, given liberty of ex
pression and action, and a chance
to vote freely and honestly the peo-
pie can be depended on to find a so-
lutton for all of their problems. At
all costs they must be told the truth.
"I believe that governments and
' men who cannot stand criticism are
: thoee who need It most,
i "I believe that only through de-
liberate discussion can we come to
I sound, constructive conclusions." .
