Yet we're asked to write letters opposing >the government's action? The article, as I quoted, states that the men had "systematically daubed" road signs with Frenchified place-names. The term "daubed" means to obscure with a tarry substance in this case (see the Winter edition of 'Carn'). This is what they were convicted of, and what the campaign consisted of. The signs involved were highway signs indicating how to find various places and thus the daubing does not constitute the serious danger to the public which daubing other road signs would.
