hilllic Relations Fumbied F-- By RCN And Canadian Govt

In Far Eastern

Operations

(special to The Guardian by Ross Munro)

-rne RCN has blundered again m mail iielivery to overseas um units. And the govern- ment has fumbled the rub- jg relations aspect of Calladian lperlilllnd in the Korean war.

These are the two criticisms that nand out so far on the Canadian ride of pa-rticipation in the Far bslcrn campaign.

The RCN in the past has never )een particularly efficient at hand- lmg mail delivery to its ships on sperations. In the Second World War, there were frequent complaints .hat the mail .was not Qtting ihrollgh. But the lesson that mail received regularly means top morale in warships far away at sea in for- eign waters apparently has not sunk in at naval headquarters in Ottawa.

The officers and men in the three flan destroyers in Korean waters went far too long without mail from home. There was an empty gap of a month and it made the lower deck and even the wardroom grurnb- te.

It continued. this mail iasco could lead to grief and the greatest care should have been taken by head- ouariers to ensure that mallbags were expeditiously delivered to the ships now based at a port in south- ern Japan and operating into Kor- ean irate-rs. i

It is all the more important when s considerable number of sailors on the destroyers have never been on in overseas assignment ' before. some of them, in facttfhave raevssii teen away from home. '
