YOUTH OF BRITAIN
WAR ADMIRAL'S MESSAGE CRITICISM DEPRECATED " LONDON, April 15. In a message to the Sunday Chronicle in connection with the 19th anniversary of the Zeebrngge raid during the war. Sir Roger Keyes, who led the raid, says: "We hear a great deal nowadays, chiefly from foreign countries, of the decadence of Britain and the effete spirit of our young men.
"An absurd and mischievous peace ballot and the foolish declaration by undergraduates of Oxford and other universities no doubt encouraged our potential enemies, but I am confident that if we are ever threatened with war again our boys and gills will .fight as valiantly and work as devotedly as did their parents in the Great War."
