ARMY RECRUITS PRAISED
Sir, —With the usual misrepresentation and claptrap, "No More war Preparations” avoids the point at issue He gives figures (source unstated) that support iMpt I wrote, namely, that owing to Jie noisy stupidity of his kind, you®l? British manhood, for the second time in a quarter-century, had little but their abundant courage to oppose to a well-prepared and mechanised aggressor. War preparations were too little and too late. One question your correspondent did not answer. Would “No More War Preparations” assert that we should be enjoying this present uneasy peace if the free nations did not today have sufficient war preparations to make the outcome of armed attack a matter of grim uncertainty to any aggressor? Yes or no? One word would serve as a reply to the rest of his effusion.— Yours, etc., BRITISH. Aug. 31. 1955. [“No More War Preparations” may briefly reply; otherwise, this correspondence is closed.—Ed., “The Press.”!
