O/C Bde returned from England today and said, as one with authority and probably a very large army will have to be kept for 5 years…..hum….haw…..of course that depends on Wilson”
I regard this as opinion of W.O. A pretty state of things when Wilson has to decide how big an army England is to have……But when the Labour Party handles out the whole dam bag of tricks theyll put up a job on that. I have marked above Private because I believe it to be true and theres no use in adding fuel to the flames of your revolutionary friend. Im anyway fond f Colonel but hes hopelessly tied to the Morning Post.
Besides I want the fun of telling it myself.
