GERMANY WORRIED ABOUT THE RESCUE

OF

ITALY

THE GERMAN PRESS, which for weeks

has maintained an exaggerated indifference to the plight of the Italians, yesterday assured the German people that all would come right in the end.

Thus, the "Voelkische Beobachter" said that "in German opinion, the situation Greece and Egypt gives no ground for an- xiety.

"

The paper adds that "this estim~ ate is made with full knowledge of Italian war potential."

The paper. poses the question:-- Are the Italians to be worn down more quickly than the Germans? Lest any readers might be templ- ed to think of several reasons for i answering "yes," the paper quickly,' adds ano her question: Do th

Mr. Macdonald said that in one tívil defence region which has - borne some of the brunt of the |peaceful invasion of mothers and children, some 200 large houses have been lent by owners or re- quisitioned as hospitals, nurseries, maternity homes and so on. Over 100 village halls in this area are in use as 'mother's 'clubs.. munal feeding centres, etc., and over 1,200 smaller houses have been taken. over.

Women's war services do not seem to want people who have any knowledge of leadership, but choose the "boobs" every time.

Miss Barclay, of Aberdeen, said this at a meeting at St. Andrews, Sceland, of the governors of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs.

A resolution which was passed stated that having, regard to “de- plorable conditions of promotion" in women's war services, the Federation wished to emphasis the importance of proper cade! training being enforced for thos women with qualities of leader- ship. It called on the Government to put this into practice imme diately.

Mrs. Muir (Dundeey said, tha one of the things women woul have to fight, if not during the wor, ertainly after, was, "the movement to put them back inn the home.
