In connection with the discussion which took place at the meeting of the Patriotic Committee on Tuesday evening •cgarding the allocation of the money raised in the Comforts Week Campaign, Mr. J. E. Wilson explained yesterday that he was in agreement with the proposal that a proportion of the money should be handed over to the Women's Patriotic League. He felt that it was the duty of the Patriotic Committee to supply the Women's League with funds, and to make it unnecessary for the latter to resort to expedients by which to raise money. He did not think the money should be handed over to the Women's League merely for the purpose of forwarding it to the front. The Patriotic Committee could do that. Mr. Wilton paid a warm tribute to the splendid n-ork that had been done by the Women's Patriotic Leaaue. and he expressed his lonfiden-e in the League's ability to ex the money handed to them in the best interests of the soldiers for whom it was raised.
