I am glad to say that Air Chief Marshal Sir George Pirie has agreed to advise and co-ordinate action on this subject. One of his first tasks will be to encourage the setting up of committees in the neighbourhood of U.S.A.F. bases in this country, where these have not yet been formed, in order that all concerned may combine to help in this field. The U.S.A.F. authorities have welcomed this action and have expressed their willingness to co-operate fully with Sir George Pixie.
