Sir William Chance, Bt., "Daily News Year Book," 1912.

DEA.S Sia,—I am sending you a proof, as desired, of the note which you kindly supplied for the "Daily News Year Book" on the effect that the provisions of the Government Insurance Bill may be expected to have on Poor Relief. I regret very much, however, that I do not see my way to print it in the " Daily News Year Book" as representative of Poor Law opinion. I have before me the annual report of the Association of Poor Law Unions, England and Wales, which, although it contains various sug- gested amendments to the Bill, accepts the scheme as a whole.

I trust you will understand the difficulty of my position in this matter. I regret that the copy was not returned before, but I have only received it to-day from the printer.—Yours faithfully, MARGARET BRYA NT (Ed. "A N. Year Book").
