YOUNG MEN AND POLITICS
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—Your recent articles in the "Evening. Post" regarding the development of the New Zealand Legion are being watched with great interest by the younger members of the community in the hopes that at last a movement has eventuated to which they can pledge their allegiance. I believe the youth of today eagerly awaits a worthy cause and the sounding of an honest battle cry. lhe present ship of State is fouled by the weeds of a long voyage. The crew have been avticled for, too long. Theyare attempting to patch a hull that requires reconditioning, for they fear that if the ship is reconditioned some members of tlie crew will be paid off. Give the youth of today a stout: ship of State that will rise gallantly to the waves of adversity and we will help to man it. Lay.it down honestly, commission it with officers that are not bargainers but leaders of men, and we will sail with them and obey them. Discipline we. rlo not fear, but let it be as means to the discovering of a new land of hope and endeavour. We hope that the Legion will not regard grey hairs or long political experience as being of foremost importance when they put forward their new scheme of government — I am, etc.,
