Internationalism and Pocket Money
Report on the problem of how much money girls visiting an international summer camp in Germany should take with them. Includes the comment: "The German girls are poor to a degree which is perhaps difficult even for hard hit English parents to realise. As a circular letter to the parents of the English girls puts it, It is to be remembered that the girls will be the guests of a country suffering from a very acute and prolonged economic depression and individual pocket money should therefore be limited to a sum sufficiently modest to cause no heart burnings and embarrassment in the minds of girls less fortunately situated."
