§ Mr. SANDYSasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the question of national service is one of the matters open to discussion in the "Army Review," referred to in the introduction on page 4 of the July number?
§ Colonel SEELYI would refer the hon. Gentleman to the ante-penultimate paragraph, together with the preceding three lines of the introduction to the "Army Review," to be found in the first number on page 5. The purposes of the "Review" and the limits of discussion are there clearly defined.
§ Mr. SANDYSIs the right hon. Gentleman aware he is giving me a very general answer to a particular question? I asked him whether, in view of the discussion that has taken place recently on the subject of national service, he would consider the desirability of allowing one of these matters to come up for discussion.
§ Colonel SEELYIt is hoped that the discussion of matters of military interest in the pages of this "Review" may not only be of educative value, but also conduce to the unity of doctrine and the intelligent application of the principles laid down by superior authority, which are essential to systematic training in peace and successful action in the field.
