PHYSICAL STANDARDS
NEED OF IMPROVEMENT IN BRITAIN. REJECTION OF MILITARY RECRUITS. (Received This Day, 1.10 p.m.) LONDON, July 12. Lord Hankey, speaking in the House of Lords debate on nutrition, said he had been shocked and humiliated as secretary to the' Committee of Imperial Defence, to find fifty and often sixty per cent of recruits rejected. The Militia figures, on the contrary, were satisfactory, but the number of persons unfit at all ages was still disturbing. Their condition was due to malnutrition in most cases. The Government should accept the League of Nations report on nutrition in 1937.
