Washington.—Expenditures totalling $19,361,657 . for . carrying ' through its program of relief and services in the United States and overseas are’out- lined in the Dudget of the American Red Cross for the current fiscal year. This total is more than $5,000,000 low- er than the expenditure during the; last fiscal year, when the dlsburswi ments -reactied $24,492741, It Is an-| nounced at National Headquarters in a statement calling /attention to thé necessity of continued support of the organization by response to the An- nual; Roll.

It is dn the chapter that the greater amount is spent in meeting this obli- gation of the Red Cross, the announce- ment -continues, as manifested by fig- ures of the fiscal year 1920-1921:when the total was approximately $9,000,- 000, of which $2,692,094 represented the disbursement of National Head- quarters while the remainder was the chapters’ contribution ¢ this field of Red Cross, service. > 3 Vast Work for Duabled Chief - among the -sub-divisions - of the. appropriation for work with vet- erans is that which concerns itself with assistance to disabled men and women in government hospitals. This item of $1,790,000, an increase of more than $500,000 over the -appropriation for the same work in last year's bud- «et, will provide those personal serv- i foi: the disabled and thefr families h are indispensable to wpplement Dy: - the - governinent. | -wh those. provided has recently expressed his desire that the Red Cross should continue and extend these “humanizing services.” " Other items of the appropriation- for veterans’ relief are:proportionately in- creased. An additlonal appropriation of $469,600 has been made: for Red Cross work in connection wlLlL regi- lar- Army and Navy -hospitals and with the regular Army and Navy. For disaster relief, the Red Cross . has set aslde for the current twelve | .months an appropriation of '$548,976, virtually ~doubling the appropriation for the same purpose for the h;ulx year 1920-1921. More than $2,000,000 is provided for service and assistance to the 3,600 Red Cross chapters by the national organization. Helping Destitute Children Other items of the domestic budget include $ 7346 for mise tivities, including con stricted for special purp 600 for mpnugement. items represents large reductions over similar approptiations of the previous Soyear. From a fund of $10,000,000; $5,000,- 000 of which was contributed through the European Relief Council campaign and $5,000,000 allotted .by the Red Cross for chjld welfare work . in Europe, there remains $8,765,108 still available, of which it is estimated that $6,000,000 will be required for this work during the current year. For Red Cross participation in. the joint effort to relieve famine condi- tions in Russia, for final work in the China ‘famine, for Junior Red Cross aud other oyerseas activities including the closing of the old general relief program in Europe-$4,978,000 is made uvailable. In announcing the national-budget, the Red Cross makes it clear that the figures do not include chapter ex- penditures or place any cash estimate on the invaluable service of volun- teers in chapters.

Now for the First Time the Turbulent Atlantic Has Become a Mill Pond By G. B. M. HARVEY, Ambassador to Great Britain | : | The mutual - helpfulness between the United States and Great Britain which we all desire cannot be realized until two great misapprehensions have been removed—one of which has prevaded Europe respect- ing the United States and the other-has permeated the United, States as to Europe. - The two-combined ap- pear to constitute the chief barrier to full and effective * play and co-operation based upon confidence and un- derstanding. I find in Europe the common impression that | the United States alone among the nations of the world, is today a land of milk and honey whose people not only are universally prosperous, but are rich beyond the traditional dreams of avarice. You have only to supplement the faney with a suspi- cion which T find not wholly lacking that all this opulence and this hap- piness are direct results of the great war, to account for the wholly natural sense of resentment. What are the facts? Did the United States really profit from the | war to such a degree as to make the lives she sacrificed seem to the cynical | and sordid mind relatively insignificant? In dollars, the gfst to America of her participation in the war, when finally computed, will fall not so véry far short of the entire indemnity upon Germany. I make no com- parisons. There has been too much of that already. Surely no good can come now, when we all are striving to get together in common purpose for the comnion weal, from disputing over {he relative sizes of the contri- ‘butions to the great cause. The second misapprehension to which I rel’vncd is that of my own countrymen, who have been led to doubt that the peoples of Europe have Gladly I pay the highest tribute to the courage and pride of these ,sorcly smitten peoples. Already the better understanding between Great Britain and the United States has achieved gue far-reaching result. For the first time in history the turbulent Atlantic has become as a mill pond | and has practically been eliminated from considerations of danger so far| as naval warfare is concerned. There is ground for good hope, moreover, | that whatever apprehensions exist of perilous possibilities on the Pacific | may be dispelled sooner than is commonly anticipated. When, if at all, that splendid consummation shall have been attained, in response to the apparently universal desire, disarmament will follow inevitably, and peace on earth will be assured for years, and may be forever.
