from Campaign '64 A few months ago a rash of denials broke out on conscription. Suddenly all the politicians were saying that we should not have it. It was never quite clear who was saying we should. The Youth Campaign and C.N.D. issued statements and these were dicussed by supporters and finally endorsed, expressing our opposition. More recently, with the air of those who study these things, Campaige ners have been assuring me that the issue is dead and that there will be no conscription, and that no one will raise it 'at least until after the election', Well, read this:
'If we propose to play the role in the world which I personally would like to see, I do not think it could be done without National Service,
‘We in this House should accept the responsibility, and the courage to say so. This is more important than the question of votes in an electirn. More important than winning an election at any time, is governing the nation,! No, not Monty having one of hes periodic outbursts in the Upper Chamber but Desmond Donnelly (Labour, Pembroke) in the House of Commons on 17th June. I understand that our Youth Campaign in Huyton have one or two interesting questions that they want to ask their M.P. about this statement, which appears to have sneaked through without arousing much comment. *C.N.D., N.W.
