FOR YOUR SCRAPBOOK

For Freedom Soldiers, what I have to offer you is fatigue, danger, struggle and death, the chill of the cold night in the free air, and heat under the burning sun; no lodgings, no munitions, no provisions, but forced marches, dangerous watchposts and the continual struggle with the bayonet against batteries —those who love freedom and their country may follow. —Garibaldi to his Roman soldiers.

TORY MENTALITY Singapore was left without adequate AR.P. because the rubber and tin lords were not interested in anything but their own advantage and profits. Some of these have been in the region of 100-150 per cent. Never has the inadequacy and shamelessness of the Tory menta ,- ity in the conduct of the war been more apparent—or more dangerous to the success of the Allied cause. “The first condition of a war plan is that the means adopted must conflict as little as possible with the political conditions from which the war springs.” —Tribune, Jan. 23, 1942.
