Yours truly, The project for the Voluntary Regisâ€" tration of Canadian Women (V.R.C.W.)â€" arose out of discussions by a group of women who were interested in quesâ€" tions of défence. They were convinced: that something ought to be done to inâ€" ‘sure that in the event of a crisis women willing to serve their country would be put to tasks for which they â€" were trained and qualified, and that a record of their willingness to , serve, their training and their qualifications ought to be made now so as to be readily available in the event of such an evenâ€" tuality. * j Memorandum re Voluntary. Registration of: Canadian Women The memorandum accompanying the letter is as follows, giving further deâ€" tails on the plan:â€" They foresaw difficulities in the way of getting any Canadian Government to undertake such survey in peace. time. These women thought they saw a. way in which the matter could be unâ€" dertaken with the least expense and the greatest ‘expedition and without involving the government. Canada is a perfect network of women‘s organiza~â€" tions, throu:h which â€" women have learned" how to organize and how to get big‘jobs done. They found out that in England the first step taken in the programme of air raid precautions (AR.P.) was the registration of all women who were willing to give their services, volunâ€" tarily, for such purposes as first aid. ambulance driving, fire fighting, organâ€" izing, metropolitan evacuation, . ets. This scheme which was started about ‘May of 1938 utilized the existing woâ€" men‘s organizations, although there the plan from the beginning was sponsored and financed by the government. A canvass of the heads of women‘s organizations in Canada bore out â€"not only their capability: but their will@ngg ness to undertake the work of regisâ€" tration. Indeed the reception of the idea was so enthusiastic that there was nothing else with it. A provisional committee was set up and this committee, after further conâ€" sultations with heads of women‘s ‘orâ€" ganizations, calléd a meeting for the. 25th May, 1989. At this meeting tenitaâ€" tive plans were discussed for the preâ€" paration of a questionneéire which would elicit the sort of information: which would be valuable in the case: of a It was soon realized that some of the information would also be: very valuable for social and community: services quite apart from a crisis.

One of the chief objectives of the questionnaire as it is developed, is to make a survey of the homes in Canada which would be available under suitable supervision to take in the British popuâ€" lation under sixteén and over sixty in the eventuality of air raids in Great Britain.

It was common talk that tht scandal thus created was the worst since the Dreyfus cas¢; it seemed at the moment to have paralyzed French national unity. Yet the absence of suspicion that a great war was near at hand was shown by the fact that, when the crisis became acute, President , Premier and Foreign Minister were absent from France.
