FINANCIAL AID FOR
OUR EVACUEES
of
ONE of the most interesting and controversial aspects in con- noction with the evacuation of British women and children from the Colony is that relating to the financial liability the Government. It is be- coming generally agreed that the decision to send away the feminine and juvenile members of the community, is justifled, in view of the deplorable state of uncertainty which exists in the Far East. Should the Colony become involved in war- fare, every man would prefer to know that his wife and children were spared the horrors and hardships which would inevit- ably occur. Men who have al- ready seen war have no doubt as to the wisdom of those who ordered the evacuation,
The problem at the moment is to what extent financial relief (or aid) should be provided in order to maintain men's wives or families, or unmarried wo- men, overseas. It would per haps be advisable to indicate that owing to the country being at war, there may not be any liability. The defence of the Colony comes first, and if that la in any way to be embarrassed by the presence of women and children, then common prudence clearly indicates that they must depart. It must be admitted that those who are able to ac cept the advice and quietly fade away at their own expense, may be in the minority. For the |others, provision of free passages is not only reasonable, but essential.
