LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THE WOMAN'S SENIOR WAR SERVICE.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—With regard to the correspondence which has recently appeared in the Spectator on the subject of the reorganization of the Voluntary Aid Detachment Service on paid lines, I think your readers may be interested to know that at a meeting of the Voluntary Aid Advisory Committee of the British Red Cross Society (which consists of representatives from every county in England and Wales) the matter was fully discussed and the fol- lowing resolution was passed :-

" That the members of this Committee, having received the recommendations from the Surrey Branch of the British Red Cross Society, regret that such were circulated contrary to the custom of the Society; and, having considered the same, dis- approve them."

Chairman, Voluntary Aid Advisory Committee. British Red Cross Society.
