THE LONDON RELIEF FUND.
Nothing could have wider appeal than the subscription list opened in this and other papers for the relief of distress amongst the homeless people who have lost their all as a result of the indiscriminate bombing: of London. Today's acknowledgements include a donation from a Ruatoki Maori Women's organisation which after attending to the needs of their own fighting men overseas has turned its attention and sympathy to those who have been rendered homeless anc\ penniless through no fault of their own. The gesture is one which will be warmly appreciated by Pakehas and illustrates once more the. wonderful spirit of friendship and understanding between the two peoples. Here we have an ideal which is born of war; one which should serve to remind the world of the unity of Empire and that intangible and mysterious bond which holds, our nation together and renders its cosmopolitan peoples as one.
