[To THE EDITOR 07 THE "SPECTATOR. "] SIR,—I was very much
interested in the article in Saturday's Spectator on National Service. It will be satisfactory to you to know that the debate at the Unionist Club here was successful when I explained that I did not mean conscription but service for six months between the ages of seventeen and twenty. The opposition was led by an old soldier who served in South Africa, and on my replying that I was against con- scription, but in favour of training on a plan like that advocated by you my opponents voted for me, and said such a scheme bad never before been put before them! They had not heard of the Spectator Company. It seems to me the National Service League would do much to popularize the movement if training such as you advocate were explained...-.
I am, Sir, &c., H. T. MooRE. Bedbourn House, .Redbourn, Herts.
