AIR RAID DANGERS
DEFENCE ORGANISATION IN BRITAIN NEARLY HALF A MILLION VOLUNTEERS. WOMEN’S ORGANISATION CO-OPERATING. By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. RUGBY, June 1. In the course of his review in the House of Commons of air-raid precautions, Sir Samuel Hoare, Air Minister, said that they were getting near halfway to the one million volunteers for which he recently appealed. He announced the inauguration in a few days of a women’s organisation—-non-party, non-sectarian, and representative of all the large women's societies—which would act in the closest harmony with local authorities, and provide a clearing house for women volunteers. The new organisation would be under the direction of Lady Reading. Sir Samuel also revealed that Government experts are making a careful study of the lessons of aerial bombing in the Far East and Spain, and had been in touch with Spanish representatives with authoritative knowledge and experience of Barcelona.
