CLOTHING FOR CZECH REFUGEES [To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR]

Sit,—Hundreds of men, women and children, refugees from Czecho-Slovakia, are arriving in this country destitute and with nothing but the clothes in which they stand. May I appeal to your readers to help to economise the funds of the British Committee for Refugees from Czecho-Slovakia by send- ing in garments (in a good state of repair) of any description or footwear which they may be able to spare? The Com- mittee is in particular need of men's clothing, suits, socks, underwear and boots and shoes.

Garments and footwear suitable for both cold and warm countries to which these refugees will be emigrating are also urgently needed.

All artides should be sent, marked " For Czech Refugees," to 130 Westbourne Terrace, London, W. 2.—Yours faith- fully, GEORGE CROSPIELD, Hon. Treasurer, British Committee for Refugees from Czecho-Slovakia. 5 Mecklenburgh Square, London, W.C. 1.
