THE QUEEN’S ADVICE
Sir, —I wish to thank you for the paragraph published last Friday under the heading “ The Three D’s,” giving the Queen’s advice to students. With your permission I put before your readers the following paragraph from a contemporary, The Social CreHiter (England), October 18, 1947: “Almost the highest attribute of man is 1 judgment,’ the exercise of choice. Far more than learning, it moulds the character and shapes the abilities, and there is no more conclusive proof of the essentially Satanic origin and nature of Socialism than its insidious and allpervasive attack on the powers of judgment and choice. We believe that it is far more this frustration of judgment than the positive hardship of the present tvranny which is sapping the manhood of the nation. Judgment is a faculty requiring constant exercise; and it is being killed bv strangulation. ‘ Shopping ’ for the love'of which women used to be gently derided, was an outlet for this vital instinct. Observe the queues of weary women waiting for what the shopkeeper deigns to give them. They are starved of ' choice.’ ” —I am, etc., A. S. M.
