It is to be hoped that something will be done
quickly to remove the difficulties about taking money to Canada and the United States. As things are the position is that poor children can be sent to Canada at the Government's expense, but the children of parents able and ready to pay for them cannot, because the parents are debarred from transmitting money for their maintenance. At present £25 is, I believe, the maximum that an individual may take, and if, for example, a mother desires to take her small children to the Dominion for the period of the war she can only do it if she happens to have friends there who will support her or lend her money till the regulations are so modified that she is able to repay it. The new arrange- ments for the organised emigration of children to the Dominions will partly meet the difficulty, but not wholly.
