THE FOURTH ROLL CALL In an eloquent poster issued by the American lied Cross Society for use in its fourth"ltoll Call"the central figure is that of a woman with face so softly sweet and gentle and compassionate that it suggests both a blesing and a benediction. Her arms tenderly enfold and snuggle a little cripple and clinging to her garments are the withered hands of an age-weary man and those of a care-worm wouan, the faces of both lowly figures upturned and bearing expressions of appeal and gratitude. The picture tells a lo?g- story?a story of service* of helpfullness, of succor extended to suffering humanity; of physical nourishment and mental refreshment for the distressed; a story that all can read?yet it is a story that can be condensed into a dozen words: The Red Cross is "still the greatest mother in the world.'' A year ago, when the Red Cross entered upon its third "roll call" for funds it placed its peace plan in detail before the public?it laid its cards face up on the board, that all might see what was proposed to be done. Today, Red Cross presents its appeal backed by a record of accomplishment that should fill the heart of every man and woman in the land with confidence, gladness and inspiration. In both its health service and its nursing service the Red Cross has attained results that stand without parallel in the physical and economic development of the nation. And yet, Red Cross has only begun upon greater work that needs to be done for the elevation of the physical status of the American masses. For instance, three-quarters of a million human beings die annuallv in the United States from diseases that are preventable; and lted Crosg is grappling with that situation with--the objective of remedying' it. Through education the society tries to keep people well rather than to cure the sick; and already health service stations are engaged in active work in more than 15,000 communis ties throughout the country. Its nursing service works in with every line ol' Red Cross endeavor, and practically 4,000 trained nurses?of whom 1,000 are stationed in as many . o.amunities?are engacd in this particular activity. The work that Red Cross has done and is doing in these two lines of service alone makes impressive appeal ?~ i ? i- - ? iu mi ii mm \Nunifll i-vtrywilfl'C, wnOSe personal creed is to do for the betterment of humanity. With a peace period record of achievement that is incomparable in J its bigness, in its broadness, in its efficiency and in the extent of its raniilieations?achievement in the form of ' ministrations to humanity's ills, whether these ills arise from disease, disaster or dire need?the American ted Cross society comes to every man, woman and child in America, not as a mendicant, not as a seeker for dollars to enable it to fatten upon your largess, but solely as every citizen's personal agent of mercy and good will oward mankind. It has kept faith with you; and its tppcal pointedly implies the question: Will you keep faith with it? There can be only one answer: You , will!

The American public Is more Intensely opposed to Government operation than It was a year ago, according to the newspaper editors of the country. Out of 5,154 editors replying to a questionnaire sent out by the Press Service Company of New York, 4,460, or 88 per cent, gave It as their Judgment that the people of their communities were overwhelmingly against the Government competing In business with Its own citizens. In 1919 the Press Service Company conducted a similar canvass of editors on the government operation of railroads. That questionnaire showed that oo pur ceiJi 01 me uuiium iuubiuoiou tlielr communities against Government operation of public utilities. Apparently, then, If edltorB estimate public opinion _ceurntely, that opinion In a year, considered by communities, has swung 3 per cent farther away from socialistic experiments. Eleven Million Circulation. The combined circulation of the papers whose editors replied Is 11,428,817, which means, according to the usual estimated rutio between circulation and renders, a constituency of at least 44,000,000. And this constituency Is pretty evenly scattered through- j out the country, no considerable sec- | tlon of any state being unrepresented. The estlniuto of opinion based on this thoroughly diffused 44 per cent of the country's population may, therefore, be considered a fair representation of the people as a whole. Another feature of tlie result Is its evident lack of partisan bias The major political affiliations of the pa- j pers represented nre fairly evenly dl- i vlded, being 1,837 Republican and' 1,330 Democratic. There nre also 1,483 independent and 402 miscellaneous, 1 Including labor organs, etc. How little the results are affected by the politics of the papers le shown In an analysis by sections. Irr the Southern section, for Instance, where replies came from 63 Republican papers and 880 Democratic, the percentage against Government operation wnn 88: In tha Grant I.nka flection. with condition* reversed, 478 Itepub- j llcan and 155 Democratic, the oppo- j Bltlon was 87 per cent Replies from the West. Middle West and Southwest show that it Is a mis-1 take to consider those sections vastly more favorable to radical Governmenl experiments than the East The radicals can get little comfort out of the 89 per cent of thumbs down?2 per cent above the average?In the Southwest, including Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Texas, onoe supposed to be much given to Government regulation experiments, returned 92 per cent of unfavorable repllfS. Out of the 244 editors replying from that state only three edited Republican papers. The 82 per cent opposition of the North- . west, Including Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South * Dakota and Wyoming, and the 88 per j cent veto of the Far West group, in- : eluding Arizona, California, Idaho, ' Nevadn, New Mexico, Oregon, Colo- ; rado, Utah and Washington, are slg-i nlficnnt of the prevailing conservative j sentiment on this question even In j the mors radical sections. Judgment Apparently Unbiased. The Questionnaire closes with a re quest for the editor's personal opinion on certain concrete cases as follows : "Do you personally believe that the Federal Government should own and operate competitive Industries to provide: (a) Fertilizer? (b) Clothing? (c) Automobiles? (d) Farm Implements? (e) Foodstuffs? Substantially all the editors who gave estimates of their readers' opinion-! also expressed tholr own by reply r g to this Inst question. Proof of cor slderable effort to avoid personal bias is found In the fact that In many cases the editor differed from the opinion he credited to his community. The percentage of "nos" ran: (a) 76; (b) 83; (c) 80; <d) 82; <e) 70. While the questions were based on general principles Involved In the Government participating In competitive business, the so-called Muscle Bhoals Bill now before Congress was used as a concrete example of a Government operation scheme. Under this bill a Government-owned corporation would be given broad powers to operate and develop Government plants and properties. It would produce at Muscle Bhoals various fertilizer products and sell tlicm In competition with producers and merchants In the fertilizer bus nesH. Tho strength of the opposition to Government operation Is Indicated by tlio rsplJea from Alabama, wli?r? the Muscle Shoulfc war plant Is mid where, of course, there Is Intense Interest Dnd local pride In KttUnK Its expected pence line operation under way at the earliest possible date.
