WAR OBJECTORS
EFFORTS TO AVOID CONSCRIPTION "A CLEAR DISTINCTION" Propaganda activities, designed to make youths eligible for conscription into conscientious objectors, are being "carefully watched" with a view to taking "special measures" if necessary, Sir John Anderson, Home Secretary, told the House of Commons recently, says the London correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor. Sir John said there is a general agreement that "defence regulations should be so drawn as not to interfere with the ordinary propagation of opinion," but added: "There is a widespread view that such activities as those referred to amount to an abuse." A clear distinction, he said, could be drawn between conscientious objectors to military service and methods used 10 induce conscriptable persons to take advantage of such views.
