...humanitarian work carried on among us by the American Red Cross and so worthily directed by you has earned the acclaim of the entire Italian nation. In succoring the wounded at our front and in mitigating the sufferings of citizens driven from their homes by the enemy's invasion the American Red Cross has earned everlasting gratitude and has strengthened still more the solid basis of the trusting and cordial friendship between the two countries...

...pawn for side-stepping work is something to which no one consciously stoops. The fact that these are exceptional times calls upon us to perform exceptional tasks. A man's accomplishments today should be limited only by the time at his disposal. Granted that men are doing more now than ever before, the fact still remains that a considerable part of each man's day is not utilized. The war demands economies of all kinds and that of time is not the least among them. Very few of us have reached a point where we no longer are able...
