Service to the State
The more virile peoples to which Major Rayner referred exist on the Continent of Europe.
The young men of Germany, of Italy, of Russia, of Poland, of Czechoslovakia, are not only strong
and healthy physically; they are also mentally poised and alert. They are imbued with a vitality that has to be seen to be fully realised; and they are proud and determined, and full of a faith in themselves and in their country and their lenders. Their frat duty and their pre-eminent de- sire is to serve the State, net to des mand "rights" and privileges from the State.
They give; they do not grab. You may call thera mystics, fanatics, fools, dupes-anything you like. But do not forget that it was a similar spirit which animated the Eliza bethua age and all those later cras when British men went furth to find new lands, new adventures, new wealth, new homes.
There was more love of country ond pride of birth in the poorest emigrant who endured hardship in a "coffin ship" and yet more hardship after ire landed in, Canada or Aus- Aralin, South Africa or New Zealand, than there is in the bulk of the young men of to-day who demand that the Stale, should do everything for them because "they did not ask to be born into an over-populated country."
On the same day when Major Rayner spoke in the House of Com- mons, member on the other side of the House said:"We cannot give young people hard physical training without looking after their bodily welfare, without giving them chance to be healthy and well"
That is a typical statement of our and clothe and generation. Feed doctor the young people, and then, perhaps, they will condescend to do physient training to keep themselves AL

In the Continental countries I have mentioned the young people, gladly and willingly volunteer for labour camps and such like. There they get all that our young folk demand, And but they give much in return. both they and the State benefit, Waste land is reclaimed, roads are built, crops are grown and harvest- made ft in ed. The people are mind and body. They are not spoon- fed.
Compare any man who lives on clarity (no matter how it is dis- guised) with one who earns his keep and a bit over, and you will see what I mean.
Man does not live by bread alone. He {s a spiritual being. He should be full of that spiritual pride which only self-esteem can cruale." That spiritual pride is to-day the posses- sich of Continental youth. It is luck- ing in the youth of this country.
That la iny challenge to the modern youth of Great Britain.

Remember this. As long as he has enough energy he can hold the respect of his small but important world. The danger comes when the strain of growing makes ever-increasing demands on his energy. That's when he needs extra nourishment.
