Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Red Cross Work Among the French People From the inception of the war partisanship for France was palpable in the United States. One heard and read recurring allusions to the vital aid she had rendered us during our War of the Revolution and the debt owed her by the world because of her consistent and heroic efforts to secure the rights of the individual. France had been the crucible where all the great social and political questions of Europe had first been tried out. She was ever one of the leaders in the onward march of civilization. In art, science, and literature she had held aloft the standard and throughout her history her courage and gallantry had burned like those inextinguishable lamps on the altars of the ancients. The wonder of the Crusades, that still glows for us like a lonely jewel in the dark setting of the Middle Ages, is due mainly to her and she it was who first emerged from the gloom of those stagnant years and gave to Europe the initial example of a new and definite social organization. It was on her soil that the people, as distinguished from the aristocracy, first united in the Third Estate whose voice, sounding always the slogan of justice for the masses, was heard and heeded in other countries. From her Revolution came those ideas that are today the basis of her public and private laws; ideas which "the Republic and the Empire, by their victories, disseminated in every part of Europe and which are destined to spread over the whole world because they are summed up in the one word justice."

Download or read book The Children of France and the Red Cross written by June Richardson Lucas and published by Diggory Press Limited. This book was released on 2005 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1917, the Germans sent back into France through Switzerland all those they are unable to use in factory, trench, or agricultural work. The little town of Evian on the French/Swiss border received a thousand of such rapatris a day. The Red Cross worked amongst these French or Belgian rapatris, a large percentage of whom were young children. The American Red Cross focussed many of their relief efforts on these children: many starving, sick and diseased, showing the effects of three years of dirt and riddled with lice and skin lesions. June Richardson Lucas, a Red Cross Nurse, worked with her husband, Dr. William Palmer Lucas, Professor of Children's Diseases at the University of California, in the establishment of the American Red Cross work for the children of France. She spent much of her time at Evian. "The children are so pathetic: many of them without their mothers, just sent along in a crowd in care of the older women, and some of them are too little to know their names and the old people have forgotten. To be four years old, to be six years old, and alone, 'Mother killed by bomb, father in the trenches'. Children come to us to get well and strong and 'wait for father.' "Six hundred and eighty Belgian children arrived on the morning train. all these children, thin, sickly looking, alone; all of them aged between four and twelve. The boys were livelier than the girls - the little girls of ten and twelve, in charge of four or five brothers and sisters, cried bitterly. These children have been taken from their parents because their fathers would not work for the Germans and the mothers were willing to let the children go rather than see them starve. I have never seen anything more poignant than those little groups of children clinging to the oldest sister and brother as they marched down the little street. It was the saddest, the cruellest sight - little starving children, marching bravely along, singing, and crying. "Men who have been taken from 'No-Man's Land'- and it is a terrible place, that land between the enemies' trenches and our lines - but that little sobbing child comes from just as terrible a place, - 'No-Child's Land,' behind the enemies' trenches."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Aesop's fables tells of the fox who taunted the lion about having so few children. "Yes," the lion replies, "but every child is a lion." This dispute is particularly appropriate to Alisa Klaus's comparative account of the early history of maternal and child welfare programs in the United States and France over a thirty-year period. Her central concerns include the ways in which pronatalism in France and fears of "race suicide" in the United States shaped public and professional intervention in reproduction, and the influence of women's organizations on social policy in two different institutional and political settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells for the first time, in rich detail, and without apologetics, what Americans have done, in the voluntary sector and often without official sanction, for human welfare in all parts of the world. Beneath the currently fashionable rhetoric of anti-colonialism is the story of people who have aided victims of natural disasters such as famines and earthquakes, and what they contributed to such agencies of cultural and social life as libraries, schools, and colleges. The work of an assortment of individuals, from missionaries to foundation executives, has advanced public health, international education, and technical assistance to the Third World. These people have also assisted in relief and relocation of refugees, displaced persons, and those who suffered religious and racial persecution. These activities were especially noteworthy following the two world wars of the twentieth century. The United States established great foundations—Carnegie, Rosenwald, Phelps-Stokes, Rockefeller, Ford, among others—which provided another face of capitalist accumulation to those in backward economic regions and those suffering political persecution. These were meshed with religious relief agencies of all denominations that also contributed to make possible what Arnold Toynbee called “a century in which civilized man made the benefits of progress available to all mankind.” This is a massive work requiring more than five years of research, drawing upon a wide array of hitherto unavailable materials and source documents.
