Excerpt from The American Red Cross in Greece The American Red Cross has maintained a mission in Greece for a period of nine months. During that period the uniforms of the American Red Cross officer and of the American Red Cross trained nurse and social worker have become familiar to a large proportion of the Greek people; and the people of certain sections of the country have been able to observe with their own eyes the busi ness upon which the American organization has. Been engaged. We need no introduction, for example, to the inhabitants of Eastern Macedonia and the larger Aegean islands; and the people in Athens, in a general Way, know the purpose of the mission. But probably the Greek people as a whole have been somewhat at a loss to understand why the American Red Cross was here what were the motives and objects of the missmn; and, naturally, they have had little opportunity of learning what we have actually been doing in Greece-the nature and extent of our undertakings. It has, therefore, seemed to me, as head of the mission, proper to issue this statement about the American Red Cross Commission to Greece, and to review, briefly, the work upon which we have been engaged and which has now been brought to a conclusion. For the mis sion will have failed in one of its objects if, as a result of oursojourn in Greece, the Greek people and the Amer ican people are not drawn together in closer bonds of sympathy, understanding and friendship.
