A LETTER FROM EVERYDAY ENGLAND RADIO

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

The whole countryside is One like a garden of flowers. 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. Cowa graze peacefully in fields golden with buttercups. Men are at work on farms and gardens. Children are play- ing on village grécns; women are, gossiping round cottage doors as they hang out the 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 vehteles you might meet on the road wear similar disguises. The soldiers, who would dash past you on their motor bicycles, wear câpes and covers to their helmets, pat- terned like strange leaves.

This green and flowery island is, in fact, a fortress, heavily defended. The fields of war stretch wider every 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.

If you landed near the coast, 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.

BRITISH MYSTERY CAPTIVE

The British Government has refused a German offer to ex- change Sir Lancelot Oliphant, former British Ambassador to Brussels, for a German whose identity was kept secret, reports the Associated Press. "

The "Daily Mail" sald it was known definitely, however, that the German was not Rudolf Hess, erstwhile No. 8 Nazi, be- cause the offer for the exchange was made before Heas flew to Scotland.

The former British Ambassador was reported "housed at a Berlin hotel.

The "Dally Mall" said "deep con- elderation was given the German offer but it finally was decided it German was so important to keep the under detentlon that Sir Lancelot;

said there never was any question" However, an authoritative source of exchanging individual German prisoners for Individual British prisoners held by the Nazis but that an arrangement whereby 5 Ger- mans in Britain, including officials and members of their families would have been exchanged for 20 Britons was ficarly concluded Inst February, VIVAL" the "Jont ::

at moment, this source said, the Germans objected to some details of the arrangement, and the plan full through. Negotiations were bald to have been tarried oni through the United States Govern ment.

Then, "What do I do in areas which are some way from the fighting? Whom shall I ask for

advice? From whom shall 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. arcas whero 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 a document of great value to those who will write the history of these times.

If some coming Macauley has before him similar 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, hot the instructions and advice, but the last words of the Prime Minister's mes- Bage:-

enemy.

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

All are studying the arls of war together. Men of the nations that have been over- run by the enemy have as 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.
