RED CROSS HEALTH DEPOT PROJECT
The International Red Cross Committee proposes, in conjunction with the League of Red Cross Societies, to install a health depot in Geneva. The dispatch of medicines, instruments, and dressings to places Where those things are lacking should thus be expedited. The committee should be able to conSign these parcel& without haying to ask for permission to export. It has already obtained permission for goods which, for abroad, are addressed to the depot for transit; It is always a condition that the committee be addressed as the consignee, and that it will redirect parcels under its o\vn responsibility. The health depot should be replenished by the industries of all countries, so that it will have the necessary reserves built up. Already important medicines are lacking in many places, and there is danger of this scarcity increasing, as occurred in the influenza epidemic of 1918.
