SUPPORT FOR CADETS
HAMILTON CRITICAL
LONDON, 15th May.
"Anyone who tries to strip our! youngsters of the ideal of self-sacrifice is gambling on the chances of the millenium having broken out. "The stakes with which he gambles arc honour and the liberty of the British people," said General Sir lan Hamilton when addressing the Balliam branch of tho. British Legion. Criticising the decision of Mr. Tom Shaw (Secretary for War) to withdraw support from cadets, Sir lan Hamilton dropped into verse. "How slack of Mac our laddie braw, To put in Mr. Thomas Shaw. Should war come on us, fee fum faw, Better for us a man of straw. Far off, far off I hear the drum, The war is coming, fee faw fum."
