AIR RAID DISTRESS
NEW USE FOR EMPIRE FUND * British Official Wireless. Rec. 1.30 p.m. RUGBY, July 20. Broadcasting to-night about the progress and plans of his Empire Air Raid Distress Fund, the Lord Mayor of London, Sir John Laurie, said that since he came into office the situation had altered radically. Last year it was on th» cities of Britain that the enemy's bombs rained, and this year it had been on Malta, Ceylon, Australia and Burma. Where the enemy would strike next we could not tell, he said, but we must be ready to send help—swift and efficient help—wherever the need arose. We must aid thousands of war-weary refugees from Hong-| kong, Malta, Singapore and the 250.000 who escaped from Burma into India, homeless, penniless folk with little left but their lives.
