But above all they will add immeasurably to the prestige and grandeur of this great, loyal, generous, beloved country of ours. 8 The third objection that meets us on all sides is that the funds for the Red Cross work could readily have been raised by means of taxation or the issue of bonds. A sufficient answer to this complaint should be that the President and Congress, after full consideration, have otherwise determined and have said that the funds for the Red Cross should be supplied voluntar...ily by the people of the country. They, our representatives, have referred the whole duty and burden to us, the American people, as properly a matter to be left to voluntary ac- tion — leaving to us the extent of the relief which we shall contribute voluntarily out of our plenty, leaving it to us to show whether we are so selfish and callous as to refuse to make any sacrifices unless wrung from us by taxation. As yet we have made no sacrifices — certainly not in tak- ing bonds and thereby making a safe investment.
