1-In the Plant World by Eric AshbyD.Sc. , Vice-Chancellor,
The Queen's University of Belfast
Plants and animals are influenced not only by daylight but by the alternation of day and night. Experiments with green plants have shown that flowering, the production of tubers, the falling of leaves, and even the shapes of leaves are controlled by the alternation of day and night.

A discussion between
Sir Brian Horrocks, K.C.B.
G.O.C.-in-C... British Army of the Rhine until his retirement in 1949 Alfred Torrie formerly Brigadier and Director of Army Psychiatry
Nigel Balchin novelist, industrial consultant, and a wartime scientific adviser to the Army Council
Richard Viner ex-prisoner-of-war under the Japanese
Chairman, Alec Peterson formerly Director-General of Information Services in the Federation of Malaya; now Headmaster of Dover College
In modern ideological warfare information provided by prisoners may be just as important for propaganda as it is for military intelligence. The questions to be discussed are whether it would be possible or prudent to instruct prisoners-of-war to say anything that their captors desire, and whether this would help to reduce the propaganda value of prisoners' statements.
