WILL BE IGNORED
LABOR COUNCIL’S PROTEST BADEN-POWELL'S TOUR LONDON, Dec. 19. The protest, by the Sydney Labor Council against the proposed visit of Lord Bnden-Powcll, founder and head of the Boy Scout movement, to Australia early next year, on the grounds that the mission was “to encourage militarism,” will not interfere in the slightest degree with the World Chief Scout’s tour. “They obviously do not know much about the scout movement,” Lord Baden-Powell told the Daily NewsChronicle. “No doubt they think because I have the misfortune to have been a general, anything to which I am attached must be essentially military. 1 have to hurry back from Australia to meet 2500 heads of scouts of all nations in Switzerland. Does such internationalism seem military ?”
