LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
HOME GUARDS.
pro ran Eamon or no "Syncrarca.'9
Sra,—I hope that the name that you have suggested for this new force will be officially adopted. Its present title is unsuitable for several reasons. The Territorial Force is prac- tically a Volunteer Training Corps. And then we have the Officers Training Corps. This similarity of name is bound to confuse people's minds. Latest of all, we have the London branch of the Volunteer Training Corps assuming the name of the National Guard, which is bound to get mixed up with
that of National Reserve I The adoption of the simple title "Home Guards" would avoid all this confusion. The man in the street would at once recognize its distinctive character, and the object for which it is being embodied.—I am, Sir, &c., H. MALITES. M.B.,
Commandant Wayland Volunteer Training Corp,
Walton, Norfolk.
[The points raised by Mr. Melina are answered in the follow. ing letter from Mr. Harris.—En. Spectator.]
