THE FALKLAND ISLANDS
Sir, —I am prompted to comment on “Loyalist’s” postulations in to-day’s issue, particularly his assertion that “J. Locke could not resist the temptation to make Britain look smallminded and petty in her international relations.” The cables informed us that the cruiser was dispatched fully armed for the Falklands; in fact, specified in detail the munitions, etc.,
she took. Later we were told that the object of the visit was to “show the flag.” J. Locke is not the only one who can see humour in international diplomacy.—Yours, etc., m i + , A W GRAINGER. Templeton, February 24, 1948.
