Surrender
Sir, — The Government’s proposal to establish a Ministry of Disarmament, while at the same time yielding to union demands
for enormous unearned wage increases, reminds me of lines from Rudyard Kipling’s prophetic poem “The City of Brass” — “And because there was need of more pay for the shouters and marchers, They disbanded in face of their foemen their yeomen and archers.” — Yours, etc., JOHN H. LENCH. Nelson, February 11, 1986
