RANEE'S 'SLUR'

Nurses are indignant at the slur cast on their pro- fession in reported statements by the Ranee of Sarawak, wife of Sir Charles Brooke, white Rajah of Sarawak, re- garding the evacuation of children to Canada.

Britain.

"If things are not changed, wish to help the future generation of you Canadians will be getting the young riff-raff of England and you'll be sorry, let me tell you," she declared, according to the "Toronto Globe."

"Women of England are fak- Ing names of relatives in Canada just so they can get rid of their children," she is further report- ed to have said.

Lady Brooke also spoke of English "society" women who offered to pay the passages of children going to Canada.

"They placed them in charge of nurses," she went on, according to the paper.

Sister Bowland Jones, of Ching- ford, Essex, an ex-Scrvice nurse of the last war, whose 20-years-old son is now reported missing, said:

"Nurses are volunteering for this service because they want to look after the children, not because they are out for a good time.

"It is a work of mercy and they are prepared to face danger and dis comfort in carrying out their dulles."

The only object of many of the nurses is to get a man aboard ship and they don't care what happens.

Strong pubile criticism of these remarks da been made in Toronto.
