1284W
Mr. THOMASNo paid appointments, either of men or of women, have been made in connection with the "Buy British" Campaign, but I am happy to say that women throughout the Kingdom, both individually and through various associations, are co-operating enthusiastically with the Empire Marketing Board. Notable instances of such co-operation are the Girl Guides, who have undertaken the local distribution of posters in many areas; the National Federation of Women's Institutes, who have sent a special letter, with posters and special literature, to all women's institutes in England and Wales; and the Scottish Women's Rural Institutes, who have given special facilities for the direct despatch of posters to all their branches.
