LONDON'S
POLICE IN WAR-TIME
One source only there is for self-satisfaction in these times --a conviction that one is pulling one's weight for all one is worth. On the strength of this the London police are justified In looking self-satisfied and feeling content with their lot.
It's a harder lot than in the idyllic times of "The Pirates of Penzance." Not, of course, that a murmur on that score is to be heard. The polite are in the London battle with the firemen. the wardens. the 'busmen and all the others who are acting on the motto of Giles Hoggett in the famous novel, "It's dogged as does it!"
