"Uneasy Feeling"

No sooner had President Hoover revived the Senate-stricken Red Cross relief drive by reciting 57 magic names, than the Nation caused the Red Cross fresh embarrassment. "The raising of a further $10,000,000," said the Nation, "will not dispel the uneasy feeling that Red Cross finances need clarification." It was recalled that last July the Red Cross reported $38,000,000 immediately available for emergency relief work. The Red Cross set aside $5,000,000 of this for Drought relief. Of this it had spent only about $1,000,000 up to last week. "What the country would like to know," said the Nation, "is how much money the Red Cross has on hand or in sight, what it is doing with it, and whether its work is to be extended from the Drought area to any part of the U. S. in which food distribution is thought to be necessary."
