CIVIL DEFENCE
i REPLY TO CRITICISM IN BRITAIN I : TOO SOON TO THINK OF CUT IN COSTS. DANGER OF BEING LULLED INTO FALSE SECURITY. I3y Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.50 p.m.) LONDON, October 19. In the House of Commons, Sir John Anderson, referring to the clamour for a reduction of expense, said there could not be any question at present of wholesale demobilisation of the civil defence personnel. None at the outbreak of a war was able to foretell I the extent of the emergency ahead, I consequently the Civil Defence organisation was called into action to meet intensive, perhaps continuous, aerial attack. Any other assumption . would be a grievous fault. "We must not be lulled into a false security,” he said, “because hitherto we have not., been involved in a battle.”
