Appel radiodiffus£ de M. Carl-J. Burckhardt, president du Comity international de la Croix-RougeLorsque les hostilites eurent cesse en Europe, le president du Comite international prononga ces paroles, qui furent radiodiffusees.
You have come here from all corners of the globe, united in the Red Cross spirit.This spirit goes back a long way in history. It does not belong to any particular place, period, established faith or philosophy. It operates at all great moments of thought and everywhere. Then, one day a man was to give it its universal quality and effectiveness. Substance was to be given to this aspiration by exalting and binding humanity's still latent forces. That man was Henry Dunant, whose book A memory of Solferino will always remain as a monument of human grandeur.
