Q IR RONALD STORRS, the Middle East expert; tells this story of a


pre-war meeting between Mr. Hore- Bellsha, M.P., and Mussolini. There was a long Interview with


the Duce, which was afterwards described In the Fascist Press as “a frank, and -friendly exchange, of information.” At th e end, Hore- Bellsha gave the Duce a pair of


Bellsha beacons. “ What are these for?” asked the i


bewildered Duce. “ To help you In your double­ crossings,” replied Hore-Bellsha.

/ANE often wonders If the Govern- ^ ment’s appeal to the public to avoid careless talk has a;iy real effect. One of my readers writes: “ The other day I happened to be


In a room In which more th an one of . the witty posters by Fougasse,


decrying careless talk,, decorated the walls, when I overheard a gar­ rulous woman say, ‘Yes. I went to a t the week-end and saw the -’, and the ‘— ,’ mentioning the


names of two ships of| the Royal Navy. Valuable Information to the enemy was thus passed on to some half-dozen people who; ^ i t e pos­ sibly, Indeed, quite probably, would go home and say, ‘ I was talking to Mrs. So-and-so this afternoon, and what do you think . . .’ , And so the


Information will be passed from one mouth to another, and who can say th a t I t will not ultimately,reach the ears of. an enemy agent—a man slt- tlng. ln a ’bus, or chatting anjlably In a theatre queue? , ; ■ “.Knowledge of the' movements of


shipping, and particularly of nayal units, is asidtal weapon for the Nazi foe in 'O ro ^ a t t le of the Atlantic,- and In other centres. You never know who may oi?erhear .you. And In any case, even i f he or she would be, r lghtbus ly Indignant If yoU so much as suggested they were Fifth Columiflsts, .none c a n : tell whose ears the tale will have reached, by the time It has ‘ gone the rounds.’ I t can be passed bn to an enemy agent and be radioed- to Germany stralghway. Imagination does not need to conjure u p what would happen then. Quite possibly the outcome of th a t careless remark would be a statement In which ” The Admiralty regret to announce . . .’ Suppose th a t particular woman’s son chanced-to be aboard the lost vessel!


In any case, somebody’s lads or husbands would be' among


the casualties.' This is a seitous matter; for ‘Careless talk costs lives.! ”

This clearly showed that vividness, recency and fre­ quency were Important factors I in memorising, In the training of memory certain principles had to be borne in mind. In the first place,' learning! depended upon ,the building up. of a train of ideas, and we must therefore analyse material aod find connecting links between parts, as for example, thg connection between paragraphs land chapter. I t should be'realised also that learning should be done in the whole piece, rather- than in parts. Thus poetry should be learnt verse by verse, rather than line by line, because con- ;nections would be seen and associations formed.

we forgot that which we did not wish to remember. Forgetting was a neces­ sary process, otheraise we* should, be faced with the task of selecting rele­ vant facts from too great a mass'of material—Our problem was not one of remembering, but of remembering th a t’ which was essential.


Psycho-Analysts held the view, that ‘ -

"After the War, we must not lose sight of the fact that we have to deal .mth a very, very diffi­ cult people—I mean, of course. oUr present enemies. No proposals of peace, as I see them, will be adequate unless they have to them some ideas Which will, somehow ot other, bring home to the heaito of the German people the sense of the wrofig they Lave. com­ mitted agatost mankind. I api hpt one one of those people who believe that the people of Germany have been forced into accepting Nazf-l^m. I believe that the ideas and ideals of Hitler foitod very ready ground to the, hearts of most people to Germany. They are Naziq at heart, and how to eradicate that, in my judgment, will.be a great problem of the peace. Personally I am.tocltoed to think the solution lies to edueatlon. I do think that some form of inter­ national educational agreement or sys­ tem wiU have to be deiteloped. I can visualise, only! rather vaguely and per­ haps rather optimistically, history being re-written, not in the interests of nationalism but to the interests of humanity, and so gradually inculcating Into the young 'mind something greater than the narrow nationalism and cruel patriotism which, again and again, has threatened to undermine the whole of society when'not founded on true Christian prtoclples of brotherhood and goodwill.” Was it too much to hope that when

at Jhis Manchester office shortly after Japan had made aggressive entry into Manchuria. Discussing tee invasion, the friend made this obsemtion: “ i think it is a good thing for our trade. The Japanese will cut down banditry and make the trade routes safe.” ■ That was one reason, maybe, why Japanese action was not challenged. Did we care about the Manchurians or the Chinese? Didiwe care about the Japanese to their little country, short of foodstuffs and raw materials, with a terribly low stand­ ard of life,'.so that they had to develop their industries and sell their products to the markets of the world. A Com­ mission was set-up to consider the dis-' pute with-Manchuria, and they subse­ quently reported on the steps teat might be taken to help Japan and to avoid'aggression. Did we agree with teat report? -Did we even think it worth while considering the matter at all? Hitler rose to power on tee des-; pair of the German people, and Mr. Davies thought we could have lessened that despair. • Had it not been there, there would have-been.no Hitler and no war. Did we care what the Germans were going through at that period to their Iffstory? ;. -
