MR. CLEMENT DAVIES, K.C., LIBERAL-NATIONAL MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR MONTGOMERYSHIRE, DIRECTOR OF LEVER BROTHERS AND AUTHOR OF SEVERAL LEARNED LEGAL WORKS, WANTS TO ARM ALL THE MEN-AND THE WOMEN OF BRITAIN.

He contends that all should be able to defend their homes. If parachute troops come.

With this object in view he has sent an invitation to M.P.s to attend at a meeting in a House of Commons committee room to consider "the arming of the population."

"This is a people's war, and the people have got to be armed,” Mr. Clement Davies told a reporter.

"They should be given hand grenades, bombs, pistols-any- thing.

"They must be able to defend themselves against attack, Everyone should be equipped."

Mr. Davies pointed out that places in France, such as Ab- beville, with 20,000 inhabitants, fell beenuse a few cyclists came along.
