HAVE YOUNGER BLOOD

A resolution carried at a meeting of the Central Council of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations recently on the motion of Major Sir Der- rick Gunston, M.P., emphasised the urgent need for enlisting in the public service younger people of proved capacity, and stated that "the possession of wealth or the backing of vested interests should never be tacitly accepted as a principal qualifica- tion for a local or Parliamentary candidature."

Sir Derrick said: "The prophet Joel spoke about young men seeing visions and old men dreaming dreams. The dictatorship countries are led by comparatively young men who have certain- ly seen visions through evil, of conquest and the brutal use af seemingly irresistible force.

Life Is Good Now In

Internment Camps

Conditions in the internment camps in Britain have been so much improved that those concerned with the welfare of refugees now want to get people into them instead of out of them. That is, of course, subject to the release of the ardent anti-Nazis who want to be in the struggle, writes a "Daily Herald" reporter..
