CRITICISED BY LABOUR LEADER. ABOLITION OF CADET CORPS. United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyright LONDON, June 16. .Speaking at a Labour meeting, t he Leader of the Opposition, Mr George Lansbury, said lie thought the Prince of Wales, after considering Hie matter, would realise that there were other forms of discipline besides shouldering a musket and playing soldiers. Mr Lansbury was referring lo His Royal Highness’ speech at Berkhampstead Grammar School on Thursday. If tlio Prince introduced controversial subjects he must naturally expect that those who differed from him would “jolly well say so.” The Prince was sufficiently a sportsman to respect his opponents. Mr Lansbury said lie favoured the abolition of the cadet corps. “The Prince says I am a crank,” he remarked, “but a crank Is an Important part of an engine.” The Prince of Wales, in an address at the Berkhampstead Grammar School, said that whatever careers boys entered there must be submission to discipline, and he knew of no better way of training than an officers’ training corps.
