CAUTION ON THE CLYDE
" Cautious tongues save lives." said Mr G. O. Slade, broadcasting on " Careless Talk." " More than a year ago I visited Clydeside. I saw anchored in the river a very large number of merchant vessels and warships, and one would have thought that there would have been some casual reference to these in hundreds of conversations in the area. As it happened; I never heard it mentioned and couldn't find anybody willing to talk about it. There can be no doubt that the discretion shown in that case deprived the enemy of information that would have done him a lot of good, and us a lot of harm."
