A LETTER FROM EVERYDAY ENGLAND RADIO

If you were dropped to-day into this midsummer England you might for just one mo- ment find it difficult to realise that it was a country at war.

The whole countryside is like a garden of flowers. One season always telescopes an- other in these Atlantic is- lands. Spring this year was abnormally slow and cold. Hawthorn is still here, wait- ing for the honeysuckle; blue- bells for the foxglove. Cows peacefully in fields graze golden with buttercups. Men are at work on farms and gardens. Children are play- ing on village greens; women are gossiping round cottage doors as they hang out tho washing.

When you looked closer you' would realise that the men at work on the land were mostly elderly. Five out of every six other men you would see would be in uniform. Even those little boys, playing on

supply vehicles you might meet on the road wear similar disguises. The soldiers, who would dash past you on their motor bicycles, wear capes and covers to their helmets, pat- terned like strange leaves.

This green and flowery laland is, in fact, a fortress, heavily defended. The fields of war stretch wider overy day. But it is this fortress, and its garrison of free men and women of many nations, that will decide the character of the years to come.

A little leaflet has lately been left by the postman at every house. in the country. "Beating the Invader" it is called. It begins' with a mes- sage from the Prime Minis- ter. Then follow fourteen · very simple questions, and their answers.

"What do I do if fighting breaks out in my neighbour- hood?" is the first question.

HOLDING THE FORT

the village greens, would be wearing "tin-hats" made of cardboard, and carrying wooden rifles, You would find many women at work in the fields, and many women in uniform.

If you landed near the coust, or in the neighbour- hood of any large camp or aerodrome, you would prob- ably notice at the cross-roads and other strategic spots, little circular buildings made of concrete, with narrow slit windows, like eyes looking in all directions--the kennels of useful watchdogs. There are coils of barbed wire among -the-thick,-scented-gorse-

bushes. Big guns, shrouded in leaf-sewn mantles, lurk under the trees.

Any prominent building is smudged over with seemingly aimless swirls and blotches of colour, that cause it to vanish into its surroundinge when seen from above. The pro- cessions of army lorries and

"

Then, "What do I do in areas which are some way from the fighting? Whom shall I ask for advice? From whom shill I take orders? Should I defend myself against the enemy?"

The Prime Minister's mes-. sage summarises the answers to the most important ques- tions.

"For those in areas where the enemy may land, or try to land; and where there may be fighting, the order and the duty will be STAND FIRM.

Where there may be no fighting, and where no close cannon fire or rifle.fire.can.be heard, the second great order and duty is CARRY ON.”

This little leaflet, on its thin wartime paper, with its simple and practical catechism of instruction and informa- tion, will be

document of

great value to those who will write the history of these times.

If some coming Macauley has before him aimilar leaflets

printed by our enemies he will probably call attention to the fact that nowhere in the 'Bri-' tish leaflet do we find the words, "it is forbidden."

Perhaps the part of the leaflet that the historian will. find most useful, when he is trying to recover something. of the spirit of these days, will be, not the instructions and advice, but the last words of the Prime Minister's mes- sage:-

"Each man and woman should think out a clear plan of personal action in accor- dance with the general scheme."

The garrison of a border fortress, facing attack in old days, included probably mem- bers of other tribes and clans, ranged against a common

enemy.

So it is here to-day. Our own people are scattered widely-Scotsmen in South- ern England; Welshmen in East Anglia; Cornishmen in the North. Here too, sprend all over the country, singly and in regiments, are Polos, Czechs, Dutch, Danes, Nor- wegians, Belgians, Free Frenchmen, neutral sym- pathisers from the United States, men and women of our own Dominions.

All are studying the arts of war together. Men of the nations that have been over- run by the enemy have ឈ much to teach as to learn.

When that enemy, and the evil things he stands for, is finally defeated, these men will know each other as no men of different nations have ever known each other before.

They may have learned, too, what no text book of con- stitutional practice could ever teach them, how it is possible for a great nation to govern, and be governed, with the least possible use of "forbid- ding" laws.

For #beating-the-invader”... the "first order and duty is STAND FIRM; the second is CARRY ON."*

All the time, not only for the dangers of the moment but for the perplexities of the future, "cach man and woman should think out a clear plan of personal action in accor- dance

with the general scheme," Could anybody ex- press it better?
