Well Done Glasgow

To the Editor of the "Nonrz-CHiNA Dany News"

Sm,—Regarding your news from Glasgow that the city raised £10,- 000,000 in a week, your correspondent wrote "Still it is no exaggeration to avow that Lord Provost Dollan will go down in the history of this centre the! as one of the most outstanding and amazing Lord Provosts it has ever had in office." In this connection I would like just to point out that Pat Dollan is a socialist. He had done fine work for Glasgow during his tenure of office. When the Coronation ceremonies were held, he did not spend large sums on military displays, but instead celebrated the occasion with benefits for old people and children, og. taking children from the slums on a cruise down the Clyde.

"What is also of interest in your news item was the mention of the commemoration of the Livingstone Centenary. The report stated that the St. Andrews Hall was crowded and Mr. Ernest Brown, MLP., Minister for Scotland, spoke at this religious gathering. This emphasis on the value of religion during wartime is welcome news.

Well done, Glasgow!
