Military Music on Sunday
Sir, —Lloyd George's message to tke Empire is that we must educate the younger generation to overcome the desire for war instilled by propaganda. Jet even, when we take our children to the beach on a Sunday we are forced to listen to the playing of a military band cn board the ferry boat. What-is the Eastbourne Borough Council doing to fight this propaganda? It is a travesty of God’s Day when happy holiday-mak-ers are forcibly reminded of the horrors of the battle zone, the air raids on London, or the dear ones who never came back. This is bad enough for adults, who have bitter memories of the results of blind obedience, but the horrible business of glorifying war at every opportunity in thg unthinking, inexperienced minds of our little ones should be countered by every citizen who believes in the first principles of Christianity.-—’ I am, etc., ORLA MELROSE. Wellington, January 22. [The town clerk of Eastbourne says the i band was engaged purely on a commercial I basis, as it is also by other bodies, and no ' importance is attached to its military significance.]
