MODERN METHODS IN WARFARE.
TO THE EDITOR. ■Sir, —It was with deep pride that I read the cable in Tuesday's issue of your paper abouf modern methods in warfare. 1 was proud to think that Britain, though she may fall far behind America and France in motor car manufacturing; though she may have lost her supremacy in ship-building to Continental countries, and though she may be losing ground in trade generally, nevertheless, leads the world in this one direction, AYhat do these sordid matters of trade amount to. after all, compared with the supreme and glorious duty of preparing for the next war? Your editorial in to-day's paper on this subject is timely and appropriate, and your rebuke to the Presbyterian Assembly is well merited. The mere suggestion of curtailing our military activities is absurd. The Assembly should rather support the splendid proposal of the officer in charge of the Auckland military, district, that all youths should compulsorily spend three months in a military camp. And what a fantastic idea, that we should attempt to co-operate with the League of Nations. One would almost think that it did not realise what a glorious thing war was, and that it actually wanted to prevent it in future.—l am, etc., S.T.
