T.hat is obvious. Maniy people'. including memibers of the Canadian Red Cross, have asked us what our job will1 be if the -war shlould suddenly end. We reply that we can only see ahead greater responsibilities than ver. Both in Europe and at home the -work of ghe Red Cros ust go- on. The war will net l,4ng art end. te suffering and want, to the care of our Prisoniers of War, to our Wounded, and to th-,e millions whose homes and way of life have been dislocated by strife. We therefore feel that every Canadian has a righit to some knowIedg~e of what, our responsibilities wifi be in the event of peiace, and just how we propose to discliarge those responsibilities. We trea: each of our main activities under ts rsetv heading.

Many have nowhere to rest their weary heads. They are starving. Malnutrition is the rule rather than the exception. Thete wiIl be an urgent need for food, clothing and miediàl supplies. The Red Cross in these stricken countries are utterly dependent on their sister societies for supplies to meet these dire needs. Can we let them down? The Canadien Redl Cross must go on! RED CROSS WORIC WITR OUR ARMED FORCES - Until the last Çanadian soldier has left Europe andl bas been discharged front hospital, there wiil be important work for the Red Cross to do. How long this will be we do n-ot know, but one thing we are certain of and that is that every Canadian at homiewill want to make sure that our boys will be as well looked after with the coming of peace as they were in war. The came of the wounded both in, Europe and Canada is a permanent responsi- bility which we cannot evade. No Canadian wants to evade it. Here again the Redl Cross must go on!
