RED X GRANTED LICENSE
To ’’Trade with the Enemy”
( Rtd Cross Brdletin. )
The American Red Cross has
been granted a license by the
War Tr^de Board to ’’trade with
the enemy.’
This is how it came about:
The privelega of sending letters
food and m mey to American
prisoners of war in Germany has
been granted to the Red Cr< ss >y
the German Government.
Germany demands a return lor
this privelege. She asks the Red
Cross to act as a medium thru
which German fathers and moth
ers can send a’’word from home
or a remembrance to sons con’
fined in American prison camps
ai d to a minor extent to herpri
scrosin Fitnth and British
c imps.
This, in a sense, constitutes
trading with the enemy and the
sanction ( f the War Trade Board
was necessary to the undertaking
This has just been secured and
the license issued. It gives the
American Red Cross a blanket
uithorization for communication
with prisoners over the entire
world, enemy, allied and neutral
The Ked Cross in w ir times is
the only organization which can
conduct what is really the single
.nte national postoffice and cable
0 f ce for prisoner** of war in the
world. It is extending this com
in uni cation and information ser
ice constantly. It is at work all
time gathering data about the A
merican de id, wounded and miss
ing on this side of no man’s land
and about the prisoners on the
other

The War Department under
takes to send to t h 3 nearest of
bin only the bare fact that a i
American soldier has been killed
wounded, missing or taken pris
oner. The Red Cross,on applicat
ion, supplements this by obtain
mg detaiis and data, performing
a service of inestimable value to
relations at home.
Likewise any ’’enemy alien in
the United States can get a mes
sage of reassurance to a relat
ive in the Central Empires thru
the lied X, if the message is le
gitimate. In recognition of this
work,the German Government
grants the Red X similar privil
