"KILLING FUTILE"

"For me kiling is utterly wrong and futile, and so I have refused to do it, he declared.

"I consider that aiding and abetting or helping the Army in any way is equally wrong, as it is Just helping "the soldiers who are at the front, so I have refused that as well."

Asked if he has any objection to doing civil work, such as farming, Tester replied: "No, Although the potatoes I might help to might go to the Army, it is a ser- vice to the land itself and to elvilians. The land has to be looked after whether there is a war or not."

NO OBJECTION Tester said that he had held his views about killing for the last two years. He had no objection, to working on the land, but if a film came along which was not #obviously propaganda or anything like that he would like to be available to take part in it. Manchester Guardian.
