WARN HUNS TO IMPROVE CAMPS

A major general wants Britain to warn Germany that unless con- ditions are improved in camps for prisoners of war, German captives in England will be treated in the same way.

"He always looked back to his years on the Council as some of the happiest in his life," she wrote. tees on which he elected to serve when he first entered the Council were those then known as the Health and Housing Committee and the Town Planning Com- mittee.

"It was the experience and in- sight gained on those committees which strengthened his passionate desire to improve the conditions of life for the people.

"It was this desire which caused him to enter Parliament and sub- sequently to devote himself to-his work as Minister of Health."
