Lehi, writes: "It may help speed up the Red Cross quota if people Knew who really pays for Mrs. Roosevelts trips.- Recently I read that she had made a statement dotha effect that the Red Cross to jthe South .;.iPacific,,.,.:.',Jlyerywli!?re...'we-see-.thadmonition, Is Your Trip Necessary?

If you can prove to us that we are misinformed, we will try to make additional contributions to this worthy cause.. e. IN ANSWER to Mrs. Russon, I have obtaineS the following from Wallace Toronto, manager of the American Red Cross for the Salt Lake County chapter: Mrs. Roosevelt, since long before her entrance to the White House,' has been a Red Cross volunteer worker. Since her husband has become Red Cross head, as well as president, she has continued in the same capacity. Her trip to the South Seas was requested by Norman Davis, head of the Red Cross, and she went to the South Seas as a volunteer worker and entirely at her own expense and her wearing of the Red Cross uniform at that time was not only regulation, but ethical. The Red Crosj dul not expend one cent upon her trip, although she visited Red Cross installations, inspected Red Cross work and reported to Red Cross headquarters upon the worl being done. .
