POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS
“Fairness” expresses the opinion that, in view of the common notion that Britain and the United States of America could open the second front if they wished, the “New York Times’’ article on help for Russia was a timely one: “It is only right and proper to the Allies that a little plain speaking should be published.” “Very Anxious” argues that, if the restrictions on pensioners’ earnings without Joss of benefit were eased, “many positions in homes would be satisfactorily filled but otherwise must remain vacant, and much needless domestic hardship be caused.” Discussing questions of military training and organisation, “G.H.” suggests that rural Home Guards should be "given a well-earned three months’ rest” from training till they can be fully equipped, and that youths, after six months’ training, should be sent back to carry on their trades. “Surely," he says, “it would be better to be less ambitious and more efficient?”
