This problem. is most easily solved by saying, we shall provide food and clothing :or our prisoners in enemy con0trfee, and the enemy may do the sante ter their prisoners in our country. Another phase of Red Cross wore which demands attention briefly, is the fact that the Canadian Red Cross is largely independent of govern- ment control in its work, The Brit- ish Red Cross sends parcels to Brit- ish prisoners in Germany through the International Red Cross at Gen- eva, but opposition might arise if the same parcels were sent by the British Government. Mr: Winston Churchill made that quite clear re- cently. and you will find the point discussed in the Jaituary, 1941, issue of the Canadian Red Cross "Des- patch." Despatch." In addition to food parcels, the Red Cross may supply invalid delicacies, special medicines, and even military clothing to prisoners in enemy lands.

Y. M. C. A. and so on, in that all its services are voluntary. It seems ab- solutely essential that the Red Cross maintain this position. My personal opinion is that the Red Cross should not operate a canteen or a. club where, for example, a fee is charged for bed and breakfast. There are other organizations with the machinery to do this, and the Red Cross should avoid that field.
