Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What Is the Most Effective Organization of the American National Red Cross for War and What Should Be Its Relations With the Medical Departments of the Army and Navy?: The Enno Sander Prize Essay Our present Red Cross, which has almost nothing in common with a former organization of the same name, is young; the Act of Congress re-incorporating it (the old society was incorporated) was approved as late as January 5, 1905. The list of incorporators contained the names of men and women of national prominence. By the act of incorporation the American Red Cross is designated as the organization which is authorized to act in matters of relief under the Treaty of Geneva. Provision is made for a Central Committee, the governing body, which is empowered to organize state and territorial associations, the branch societies. The Act states that as soon as there are six branches the Central Committee will consist of six persons appointed by the incorporators, six by the representatives of branch societies, and six by the President of the United States, one of whom shall be designated by him as chairman, the others coming from the Departments of State, War, Navy, Treasury, and Justice. The Act provides further that the funds of the association shall be audited by the War Department. Shortly after the act of incorporation was passed the board of incorporators held its first meeting and elected as its president, the Secretary of War, who still fills this position. The Central Committee elected a distinguished and energetic executive committee A beginning was soon made in organizing branch societies, the committee endeavoring in all cases to secure as organizers representative men and women of the various states and territories, who could be counted on to interest themselves in the work of organization. A board of consultation, composed of the Surgeons General of the Army, the Navy and the Marine Hospital Service, was created at the first annual meeting of the Red Cross. Interest in the association has not flagged, nearly all the distinguished names found on the roll of its Central Committee at the beginning are still there and the branch societies which are now over thirty in number instead of eighteen as at the first annual meeting have enlisted the aid of many prominent people in their own localities.
