NOLUME 57, NUMBER 14 Although the war in Europe is drawing to a successful conclusion, the work of the Canadian Red Cross will not decrease with the surrender. Rather the responsibiliâ€" ties of the Society will become heavier because considerable help must be given to the peoples of the liberated countries who have sufâ€" fered so much during the period of occupation. _ ____ . L Relief authorities estimate that there are over 17,000,000 persons destitute and homeless in the freed areas. Many of them are suffering from disease and their children are victims of malnutrition. The Canaâ€" dian Red Cross, along with other relief ndxenclel, have shipped clothâ€" ing and food to these people, but more and more n‘:stt be sent if the real victims of war, the civilians, are to be saved to help build a betâ€" ter world. _ > In raising the money for the reâ€" lief in the liberated countries, the Canadian United Allied Relief Fund is collaborating with the Red Cross so that the maximum amount for this work can be obtained as quickâ€" 1{ as possible. And by adopting this system, one less national apâ€" peal will be made to the Canadian people this year. _ _ _ mm so the flow of food parcels must go on. And it will be some time beâ€" fore our prisoners in the Far East will be free. 2 _ Psn on es In addition to helping the liberâ€" ated nations, the Red Cross must continue to provide comforts for our forces, both in the field and in hospitals. It will be some time after the surrender. before our prisoners of war gln'be repn‘triated. The Red Cross Blood Donor Servâ€" flce must be continued, for as long as there are Canadian troops in action t%m will be a need for lifeâ€" saving blood serum. Here again, the Pacific theatre of war cannot be overlooked. â€" â€" B Keep At Home 1935 Soldiers On Leave All in all, there is no situation that can arise thig year that will lessen the responsibilities of ‘the Canadian Red Cross. Rather the responsibilities are more likely to be greater than eger. _ _ _ One thousand nine hundred and cigthyâ€"eight active service soldiers have returned to Canada from overâ€" seas under the rotation leave scheme, Defense Minister Mcâ€" Naughton announced, and all but 58 have been retained in the Doâ€" minion and will be posted to home war establishmets. 80 Three quotas have returned, toâ€" talling 444, 700 and 848, respectiveâ€" ly, and 1,935 will be posted to home establishments so their experience overseas in the field might be used to advantage in the training of reâ€" inforcements and in other units in Canada.
