MAKING WAR ON
DISEASEMENACE
American Red Cross Announces
Budget of $48,200,000
For Current Year.
NEW DISASTER RELIEF PLAN
Continuance of Hoavy Work Abroad
Deemed Necessary to Protect
United States $21,000,000
Lesa Than Last Year.
A program of relief and service to
ward which appropriations of $18,
200,000 lmvo been made has been out'
lined for the American Red Cross for
tho fiscal year, July 1, 1020, to July 1,
1021, according to official announce
ment by national headquarters of the
organization at Washington. The fig
ures for 1020-21 are $21,000,000 below
those of 1010-20, In which $G9,400,000
was spent.
Important among the items of the
budget for the present year Is the ap
propriation of $31,500,000 for relief In
foreign lands, which Includes $11,000,
000 In purchased supplies on hand and
not distributed.
Must Protect United States.
This will enable the American Red
Gross to continue Its humanitarian ef
fort to aid stricken peoples to re-establish
themselves, to fight the disease epi
demics which threaten many countries
and to efface largely tho remaining
traces of the blight left by the World
War. It Is regarded as social as well
as physical sanitation on a large scale
that will have a direct bearing on fu
ture conditions In America.
Central Europe, tho chief sufferer
from tho conflict, today Is facing an
other winter of famine, pestilence and
,ruln. Typhus decreased much during
the summer months where last winter
It had Us greatest stronghold, but phy
sicians who Investigated the sltuntlon
at the behest of the League of Red
Cross Societies have given their un
qualified opinion that this coming win
ter will see a recurrence on an un
precedented scale. The Red Cross
feels It must continue preventive meas
ures abroad to Lcep this and other
deadly maladies from the United
States.
Millions for Work at Home.
When the disease was sweeping Cen
tral Europe last winter the American
Red Cross, with the nld of the govern
ments of afflicted nations, undertook the
fight against It. Hospitals wero estab
lished wherever possible and food and
clothing were distributed to the un
dernourished populations, who by rea
son of their undernourishment were
easy prey to tho epidemics. Where'
disorganization contributed last year
to the great Inroads made by the dis
ease, by virtue of lt3 knowledge of the
disease and the presence of well es
tablished hospital centers, the Ameri
can Red Cross this year will undertake
the work with a new confidence.
Including the total of $11,000,000 in
supplies left from the last fiscal year,
the $31,500,000 Is $21,000,000 less than
tho expenditures for 1010-20.
Appropriations for domestic activi
ties total $10,700,000.
The largest Item of this "home"
budget Is $7,800,000 for civilian relief
work. This Includes service and as
sistance for families of soldiers, sail
ors and marines, and work Incidental
to disaster. Of the total appropria
tion for civilian relief, $5,000,000 Is
held In reserve for tho carrying out of
actual disaster relief.
Reduced Overhead Expense.
The Red Cross Invariably Is the first
thought of a community visited by ca
lamity With this In mind, It was de
termined by the Executive Committee
In preparing the budget of 1010-20 to
have n fixed reserve fund from which
to draw in these Instances.
For assistance to soldiers, sailors
and marines In hospitals and In camps
this year $1,900,000 has been set aside.
Four million two hundred thousand
dollars has been appropriated for Im
provement of health and prevention
of disease throughout the United
States during tho current twelve
months. The Red Cross Is co-operating
fully with the United States Health
Service In this work and through Its
Junior Red Cross Is doing much to
spread among children tho principles
of sanitation. An appropriation of $1,
000,000 has been mnde for developing
the peace tlmo program of the Red
Gross by service to Its chapters In all
regions.
The appropriation of $48,200,000 Is
exclusive of tho local expenditures of
the 8,000 or more chapters.
Administration cxponses this year
will bo $1,800,000. Last year they
were $2,300,000.
