NAVAL RECRUITING
TO THE BDITOII OW THE t'BBSS. Sir, —In reference to my letter in "The Press" last week. I would like to assure Commander Harding that it needed no subtlety to gather from his talk to the children that Great Britain should have a much larger navy, and that he was trying to impress this fact on the minds of the small boys. Was not this the purpose of his talk? Great Britain's policy in entering the last war, right or wrong, is quite another matter. What I am concerned with is the use of the children's hour for this type of talk. It is surely not necessary for me to have to explain to Commander Harding why huge air forces, armies, and navies "have a psychological influence in fostering hate and suspicion between nations. One does not need to be highly conversant with the trend of international relationship, nor have to read the writings of a quarter of the leading intellects of to-day, to appreciate this fact.—Yours, etc., A.M.C. Sumner, August 14, 1934.
