SIR London, W. 1. Nov 7th, '29.

May we use the columns of your esteemed paper to draw attention to the work of "The Indo-British Mutual Welfare League" a non-political and non-sectarian organisation of Indian and British men and women in London, linked together for greater friendship and mutual service? The Aims and Objects of the League, as set out its official leaflet, are as follows: -

    1. To promote a closer friendship between India and Britain through mutual understanding and service.
    2. To help existing organisations in their work of social development.
    3. To provide a bureau where accurate information on India may be obtained.
    4. To assist Indian visitors to become acquainted with welfare work in Britain.
    5. To hold lectures and conferences on social subjects of interest to Britishers and Indians.
    6. To raise a Scholarship Fund for students.

Recent events have awakened considerable British interest in Indian Problems, resulting in the growth of several societies and committees desirous of helping India on her path of social progress. The League, as a strong central unit, is endeavouring to affiliate all such existing organisations and has on its Committee representatives from The Women's Indian Association (Mrs. D. Jinarajadasa), British Commonwealth League (Mrs. Rama Rau), Saroj Nalini Dutt Memorial Association for the spread of Women's Institutes (Mrs. Matthai), The Ladies Auxiliary Committee of The Indian Y.M.C.A. (Mrs. M. Palit) etc.

The spirit animating the League is one of mutual responsibility with a willingness to learn rather than a wish to dictate.

In placing these facts and avenues for co-operation before your public, we invite response from your readers and would welcome any suggestions and criticisms.

Yours faithfully,
(Lady) EMILY LUTYENS, Chairman.
MRS. HANNAH SEN, Jt. Secretary.
