§ 21. Mr. ANDERSONasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to an advertised meeting of the so-called "War Babies' and Mothers' League"; whether the ladies who attended received a printed slip stating the meeting had been postponed; whether the Metropolitan Police have warned the public against subscribing to this charity; and whether he will take steps to protect 780 philanthropic ladies from the temptation to benefit war babies which, as far as this league is concerned, appear to be mainly apocryphal?
§ Sir J. SIMONI understand that the facts are as stated in the question. A police notice has been issued warning the public against subscribing to this so-called league. I hope that the police warning will make philanthropic persons more careful in selecting the societies or leagues which they support.
