“Handicap” On Red Cross
New Zealanders were inclined to think that all needs to be satisfied were in their own country, but thia was not so. There was,- a great need for people here to become internationally minded and to extend their concerns beyond New Zealand, the Very Rev. G. V. Daly, chairman of the New Zealand Red Cross Society, said in Christchurch. The Red Cross Society, which was the only truly international organisation in New Zealand, was handicapped in its work through lack of members, he said. There were nearly 200 million members of the Red Cross Society throughout the world. The New Zealand total was under 50,000. This was a ratio of one to 60 of the population compared with a world ratio of one in 15, Father Daly said.
