Guard The North!
p. 44 · Read in the full issue
Letter to the Editor I HAVE sent my copy of July “P.1.M.” to a friend, drawing attention to the story of the “Wolf” and the “Ma tunga”, and to the description of Japanese activities in the Islands. I have also written to a member of the Federal Parliament drawing attention to the two articles. I think, in the public interest, those two items should be brought before each member of the Federal Ministry.
The lights up north may be described as myths; but seamen are not easily de ceived, and when an enemy strikes, he will not come to Sydney with a blare of trumpets. Having seen Frazer Island, and knowing a little of the north, I think it is time we arranged for friendly Indian troops to guard it, instead of ex pecting 250 young men to hold out against the stronger powers who already are boasting of their strength.
I am, etc.,
F. Townshend.
