MAKING WAR ON DISEASE MENACE American Red Cross Announces Budget of $48,200,000 For Current Year. NEW DISASTER RELIEF PLAN Continuance of Heavy Work Abroad Deemed Necessary to Protect United States--$21,000,000 Less Than Last Year. A program of relief and serv.ce to- ward which appropriations of $48,- 200,000 have been made has been out- lined for the American Red Cross for 'the fiscal year, July 1, 1920, to July 1, 1921, according to official announce- ment by national headquarters of the organization at Washington. The fig- ures for 1920-21 are $21,000,000 below those of 1919-20, in which $69,400,000 'was spent. Important among the items of the budget for the present year is the ap- Ppropriation of $31,500,000 for relief in foreign lands, which includes $11,000, 000 In purchased supplies on hand and mot distributed. Must Protect United States. This will enable the American Red Cross to continue its humanitarian ef- fort to aid stricken peoples to re-estab- lish themselves, to fight the disease epl- demics which threaten many countries and to efface largely the 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, the chief sufferer from the conflict, today is facing an- other winter of famine, pestilence and ruin. Typhus decreased much during the summer months where last winter - It had'its greatest stronghold, but phy- ~ siclans who investigated the situation 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 keep this and other deadly maladies from the United Btates. Milllons for Work at Home. When the disease was sweeping Cen: tral Europe last winter the American Red Cross, with the ald of the govern- ments of afflicted nations, undertook the fight against it. Hospitals were estab- lished wherever possible and food and clothing were distributed to the un- @ernourished populations, who by rea- son of thelr undernourishment were easy prey to the epidemics. Where disorganization contributed last year te the great inroads made by the dis- ease, by virtue of its 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 the expenditures for 1919-20. Appropriations for demrestic activi- ties total $16,700,006. The largest item @f 3% "home budget is $7,800,000 for civilian rel¥s 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 the 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 £ommittee fn preparing the budget of 1919-20 to have a 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 the current twelve months. The Red Cross is co-operat- ing fully with the United States Health Service In this work and through its Junior Red Cross is doing much to spread among children the principles of sanitation. An appropriation of $1,- 000,000 has been made for developing the peace time program of the Red Cross by service to its chapters in all regions. The appropriation of $48,200,000 is exclusive of the local expenditures of the 3.000 or more chapters. Administration expenses this year will be $1,800,000. Last year they were $2,300,000.
