THE HOME GUARD
gi rj —As an admirer of the Home Guard, and fully alive to their valuo in home defence, I trust that space will: be available for the following quotation, which is the last paragraph of Hugh Slater's book "Home Guard for Victory," a book which is much in use in Britain, and is the result of much' experience in training the British Home Guard:— - , . "Because it is a;-citizens army, the' Home Guard can be fully democratto|; and energetically modern. It can have the most profound effect upon 'the''development of the new Europe, the new human world, that must arise from the animal violence, the destruction, the fear and the hatred that permeate our lives to-day." Hugh Slater's little book should be made available to every mem. ber of the New Zealand Home Guards; P. McConneix.
