BRITISH LEGION
ITS IDEAL OF SERVICE
NEEDED IN INDUSTRY
ADDRESS BY EARL HAIG
(A.P.A. and "Sun.")
(Received 6th June, 12.15 p.m.)
LONDON, sth June.
Earl Haig, addressing the annual conference of the British Legion, attended by delegates from all over the Empire, emphasised his conviction that members must endeavour to plant their id'ills, of comradeship and service in the industrial world, thereby killing mutual distrust. Last year's strikes severely tested the Legion's strength and existence, and it emerged with its good name enhanced by its impartiality. The Legion's support of law and order undoubtedly saved Britain from the bloodshed of attempted revolution.
Earl Haip referred to an experiment whereby twenty members of the Legion were trained in agriculture while th Legion maintained their families and trained their wives. This resulted in a hundred migrating to Canada. If successful, the experiment would be renewed on a larger scale.
