To Wear Kilt

London, July 1.

When Mr. Leslie Hore- Belisha (War Minister) ad- dressed the Annual confer. ence of the Scottish National Liberals, they want him to wear a kilt. Sir William Baird, Scottish Nat-Liberals Chairman said on Friday "There can be no excuse be- cause he has the Gordons and the Camerons in his charge as War Minister. If he cannot get a kilt, I will supply mine." Our Own Correspondent,

RECRUITING FOR

THE PAY QUESTION

(By A Mary Correspondent) The serious falling oft of enlistment inta

In spite of the efforts of the last two years, the number of recruits Joinlog has failed to make good the wastage due to discharge on expira- tion of time. The gures for Cus ¡year are likely to be the worst for

many years.

Mr. Duit Cooper had a good dent of success in his campaign to draw attention to the needs of the Ter- ritorial Army. It is a fairly easy task to appeal to the patriolism of those in steady employment. 11 is not nearly so easy to attract men to a Service where conditions of pay are so low that a man drawing his allow- ance from the Public Assistance funds is a lot better off in the matter of money to spend.

Recruits for the Navy and the Air Foren can be obtained easily. Con ditions of life in these Services aud the prestite which attaches to being ta salfor or an airman may have some- thing to do with this, but the main al- traction is that in either of these ser- vices pay is much better than in the Army.

The reply of the Treasury to any the Army should be raised is that suggestion that the basic rate of pay 'R.A.F.the baste rate in the Navy and the Air Force would have to be raised at bomber plane that crashed the same time.
