TROOPS AT CENOTAPH SHOULD SOLDIERS BE DISARMED? CONTROVERSY IN BRITAIN (TTil ted Preen Assn, by El. Tel. Oopyrigh* iuatraliaa Press Assn.—United Service LONDON, Oct. 28.
A suggestion that the troops participating in the Cenotaph ceremony should be disarmed is arousing interest. It is variously urged that it would symbolise the nation’s desire for permanent peace. The Daily Herald says t>*at if disarmed troops at the Cenotegjh contribute a wider realisation of the horror and futility of war let them be disarmed.
The Daily Chronicle ssys : “If soldifrs are present wo cannot introduce unreality in disarming them. A soldier disarmed cuts a sorry figure. Do without soldiers at the Cenotaph or retain them, but if they are retained we cannot ask them to be ashamed of their equipment.”
