The Blackout
Sir, —This phase of defence appears to be of questionable value, and at Singapore, which is merely a stone’s throw from the danger zone, the authorities will have none' bf it. In a recent issue Lord Beaverbrook’s paper, the “Daily Express,” declared the blackout to be "a nuisance and a failure. . . . The blackout has proved useless in defence. It has had a bad effect on production, has dampened the spirits of workers, delayed transport Of night workers, and caused hundreds of road deaths. Lights out when a warning comes, but not before, should be our policy.” This great London daily should know whereof it speaks.—-I am, etc., T.D. Wellington, October 15.
