FRANCO-BRITISH IDEALS.
Responsibility of Educators.
(British Official Wireless.)
LONDON, April 3.—Broadcasting in
Paris today, the President of the Board
of Education (Earl de la Warr) empha-
sised value which an understanding of
each other's civilisation and culture
played in bringing about an even closer
Franco-British relationship. Each coun-
try had already contributed much in
ideas and ideals to the common cause
of freedom for which the Allies were
fighting, he said. The most terrible
crime of the Hitler regime lay in the
deliberate perversion of the minds and
souls of German young people, and it
was necessary, in the cause of freedom
against tyrrany, for those in charge of
schools in Britain and France to pre-
serve and develop In the children's minds
the ideas for which those two countries
stood.
Earl de la Warr outlined a programme
of action, including the distribution of
films and lectures and exchange of visits
by teachers and children.
