M.P.S PLEA FOR AID TO WAR-HIT

A plea for the people in the defence areas, many of whom have lost their livelihood, was made to Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, Minist ter of Health, Sir John Anderson Home Secretary, and Captain Crookshank, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, at a private meet- ing at the Ministry of Health.

Sir Robert Gower led a deputa- con- tion of M.P.s representing stituencies in the defence areas. Other members were Rear-Ad-1 miral Beamish, Mr. W. P. Spent, K. C., Mr. Stanley Holmes and Major Astor.

Hundreds of letters have been received by the members of the deputation from their constituents describing the difficulties

thati have overtaken them.

Hotel and boarding-house kee- pers are among the most seriously! affected, although some of these have been compensated to some extent by the fact that the mill- tary authorities have taken over their premises. -

The appeal to the Ministers was, it is understood, not so much for financial compensation as that every consideration should be ex- tended to the people in these areas so that they should not lose heart. Their morale must be kept up, it [was urged.
