MORE THAN MILLIONS REQUIRED
MORE THAN MILLIONS REQUIRED When we have celebiated—as undoubtedly it deserves to be celebrated—the marvellous achievement of the nation in raising the 5tupe.udGUs sum of ever one thousand mil- lions for carrying on the war, it 'is still "up to us" to see to it that all the sacrifices of the nationin blood stall greater than in trea- .,iire-shaill not bo in vain. We read Mr Bonar Law's speech with pleasure, but we confess that we remain under the spell of Mr JJloyd George's heart-to-heart talk with the nation in the outspoken speech of a week ago. According to trio Prime Minister, whose authority we dare not in such a matter dis. putc, this country is heading to disaster iiif. less the position is faced with courage and a spirit of ready sacrifice. It is possible that we may cntitely defeat the U boat in the waterways of our commerce, but we must not couint on that. We must cut the coat" according to the certain measure of the materials we can command; and if we do so, tfien we may invite the enemy to do his very worst. Mr Lloyd George has absolutely no doubt as to our capacity to win; but we can only win by putting forth all our strength. And by putting forth our strength here is meant that every ounce of available labour is turned on to national purposes; that men and women should not merely sacrifice their leisure, but should even sacrifice their non- essential businesses in order to devote them- seJves to natioll,al service. We must all ask ourselves wihat we can do to serve the coun- try: in wha,t way we can best employ our- .sclves so as to render help in fighting -1-c enemy. And when we .have found our siphero of useful service we must remember that the safety cf the whole State depends upon olip loyal co-operation in economising the food resources of the nation.
TRIVIALITIES OF DEBATE.
TRIVIALITIES OF DEBATE. Is it net really full time tfrat the contro- versy about Lord Fisher should come to an end? Sir Ilenry Dalziel unquestionably hit tho nail on the head when he told the House of Commons that th3 country is getting very tired of all these personal discussions. They serve no useful purpose; to the contrary. they probably, do a lot of harm by diverting thought and energy which might be devoted to better uses. There is real value in Mr Winston Churchill's advice, "Lot its keep our hatred for the enemy. Bearing this in mind, we sfrall find that a great deal of con- troversy which centres round the honoured naimo of Lord Fisher will be relegated to its now proper province, namely, the review of history. Moreover, it really requires very little patriotism to enable us, in matters rc- quiring delicacy of treatment, to trust the Government. There is scarcely a man or woman in this country who does not thorough- ly believe that, if Mr Lloyd George or Sir Edward Carson were convinced that the re- call of Lord Fisher to high authority in I;he Admiralty was essential to success, no time would be lost in bringing Lord Fisher back. It is a curious fact that the very people who are most insistent on the importance of leav- ing the conduct of tho war absolutely to the authorities are the very fc-rerncst in urging their p-et on those authorities. We shall undoubtedly got on very much better if we abstain from futile discussions in re- gard to all matters which must be det-er- mined c-n grounds which cannot be familiar to outsiders, and- this is important to re- membefr not merely in dealing with person- alities but with vital questions of strategy upon which the amateur dilates with so much self-assurance.
IS AMERICA DRIFTING?
IS AMERICA DRIFTING? All the indications point to. the probability that President Wilson is making quite sure of his ground before committing the United States to any definite line of conduct. Of course, ihe has placed some very .high pro- fessions upon record and is not unnaturally anxious to square his practice with his doc- trines. The preacher of "Peace without Vic- tory" in a Avar which threatens the very civili- sation of the world should be Vie very last person to take up the sword; and a com- munity which professes to be too: proud to fight, save for the fundamental matters of Liberty, must seo to it triat Liberty itself is at stake before taking up the gage of battle. British statesmen and British writers have carefully abstained from every appearance of seeking to interfere with the judgment of the American Republic in affairs touching its own honour; and it is the right attitude to adopt. Nothing pleased us better than Mr Lloyd George's plain "hands off" inti- mation to the neutrals, about four months ago; so we naturally appreciate the sensitive- ness of the United States wihich must be' allowed to be the sole juctge when, and if, honour compels it to abandon diplomacy, for. war. But we may note the clear- tendency- of events, notwithstanding every considera- tion; and it would appear as if the great English-speaking community of the West was proceeding in quite a regular and methodical j, order towards a definite state of war. It is becoming increasingly evident that the Hun is,convinc-ed, filia-t hie sole hope of defeating: the Allies is by ctarving.(Weat- Britaiii into euo-nlissioh :r and the starvation of Britain can, of course, only be accomplished by the destruction of the merchant tonnage of the world. Hence unrestricted U boat warfare; hence tbp menace to American shipping, which must inevitably "sooner or. later "cast the die." for the President. What exactly will constitute such an "overt act" of war as will compel the States tb fi^ht is just nn" of those private maitOT* which President WiJson reserves for himself. Does the tor- pedoing of the Gurnard liner "Laconia" and the loss of several American citizens consti- tute an "overt act"? It is most difficult to refrain from usurping the President's sole right of deciding.
I A NOTABLE CONVERSION.
I A NOTABLE CONVERSION. Among the weekly reviews published in this country the Spectator occupies an acknow- ledged and old-established position of autho- rity on what we may perhaps call "the croys- benahes." Staunchly Unionist in general policy, this influential journal has in the past banned as economic heresy all proposals to depart from Cobdenism as this country's pctr- i-iancnt trade system But the Spectator has consistently founded its argument on -,he theories of the originators of the Free Trade doctrine, wo, though they were academic personages and not practically versed in the requirements of commerce and industry, were men of honest intention and trained reason- ing power. The Spectator has not associ- ated itself with the rant and fustian of zhe modern defence of Free Trade, and is there- fore at liberty to discard the specious fallac- ies and appeals to prejudice which were em- ployed before the war. and .have been used in tome quarters since it began, to endeavour to persuade the British people that it is best for them to subject their security and inde- pendence to all the risks of possible develop- ments of future warfare by sea and air m order to ensure to every alien the free run of the British market. Adam Smith ,3 fount of authority for Cohdenites, himself ad- mitted that the exigencies of national defence are more important than what he regarded as economic orthodoxy, and in its current issue, the Spectator, following up this pre-, cept, shows very plainly its application to the conditions of our safety as revealed by the war. This lesson :n sane perspective and principle is especially opportune on the eve of the first fully organised Imperial Confer- ence, and we believe that its influence will be decisive and widespread among many minds which are doubting but patriotic and re- ceptive, and have hitherto been awed by the truly German pretensions to infallibility so l en put forward by Cobdenite pundits.
NOTES OF THE WEEK. I
NOTES OF THE WEEK. I Yesterday brought the third St. David's Day of the war. The festival passes more quietly than in normal times, and is put to good use by those who have at heart the welfare of the Welsh soldier. In London St. David's Day is now a very different affair from what it was in years gone by. Long ago it was the custom of pastrycooks to cele- brate the occasion by ,hanging up ginger- bread Welshmen for sale, and Pepys speaks of having seen "the picture of a man dressed like a Welshman hanging by the neck upon one of the poles that stand out at the top of one of the merchants' houses, in full pro- portion and very ,handsomely done." One wonders what would happen if anyone at- tempted such a thing in our day. » « Wednesday's resumed debate in the Hou.-so of lords on Viscount Chaplin's motion on food production and agricultural labour was rendered especially noteworthy by an an- nouncement made bv the Earl of Crawford, the Government spokesman. This was to th, effect that tho Pritre Minister's proposal tc guarantee corn prices and a minimum wago for farm labourers was not. merely an emer- gency t-eheme, but was to be the foundation and basis of a great future agricultural policy for the country. The discussion turned largely on the question whether Englaud ought to become permanently a wiheat coun- try 011 a large scale. The Marquess of Crewe declined to assent to such a proposition, which, however, tho Earl of Selborne heartily adopted. The Earl of Derby stated that he agreed with every wad Lord Selborne had said, Avjhile Viscount Chaplin insisted on tlie vital necessity of having much more food grown in the country. Earl Bathurst pointed c-ut that the establishment of a mini mini wage would mean a general rise in agricul- tural wagea, and suggested that it would work unfairly in those counties in which wages are not as high as in the North of England. Lord Chaplin's motion was agreed to in a curtailed for n II In the current ssue of the Teacher's World, Mr Alfred T. Daviea, C.B., Permanent Secre- tary of the Welsh Department of the Board of Education, has a message to the children of Wales appropriate to St. David's Day a%-d to the present critical times. While the men and women of Wales are doing work for their country and for freedom, the children hke- ,wise can help to slay the great ugly German monster of militarism and oppression that is trying to overcome us- and our Allies." Wales, says Mr Davies, must decide to grow leeks as well as wear them, and boys and girls s/iould make themselves useful in gar- dening work, practise thrift a-yid economy in all things, and remember that "vefy little thing well done is a great thing." Mr Davies gives the school children excellent advice, which the teachers no doubt will further Im- press upon them. Now that,small plots of land are being laid out for cultivation and people are fcevoting more attention than usual to gardens, it is a timely hint to chil- dren that they should rcfrab from "destroy- ing fences and damaging orop. « While yisiting the British Industries Fair at South Kensington, Her Majesty noticed on the stall of a well-known firm a very clever jig-saw puzzle of Mr Lloyd George, and smil- ingly she requested it should be sent to Buck- ingham Palace with others of a scries of pub- iio men which the firm in question are pub- lishing. I hear on very good authority (says the London correspondent of the Dispatch) that the King in his moments of leisure finds these playful problems relaxation from the strain of State business. A good many people in the past have picked Mr Lloyd George to pieces. 1 The King is going to try to put him together. » II "There is no doubt that the Scotch farm :g about the best in the world," said Mr Lloyd George, on Friday, but in fairness to the En- glish farmer it should be remembered that it was he who taught his northern ii-eiglibour ilie tricks of tlh; trade. Scottish agriculture was in such a backward state in tho early days of the eighteenth century that a com- pany of enthusiasts calling themselves The Society of Improvers of Knowledge of Agn- oultur-e" tried to spread abroad hints with ie- speci to draining, sowing, and fertilising But the time was not t'ipe fov iinproArernent, the Society's secretary became bankrupt, and his wife, though a lady of title;- openèd a little shop in the High-street of Edinburgh for .i living The spitit of tite Socifty. how- ever, lived on, and with the advent of Lord Peterborough's daughter, ;tvho married live Duke of Gordon, English farming methods-, were carried to the north with tremendous energy-and sjiccess. > r' The minority report presented by 1t" ;'Fredt'fick' Suiith, Bart., ia-connection with the recommendations of Lord Balfour of Bur- leigh's Committee gave riso to a few curioua slips in one or two of our daily contemporaries and also by one of Liverpool's leading Con- servative politicians. Tho statement pre- sented by Sir Frederick was attributed to his namesake, the Attorney-General, and in one case it was spoken of as a statesmanlike view of a highly important question, the speaker being, of course, under the impression that he was dealing with the brilliant Conserva- tive Member for the Walton Division of his own city. What he said when he discovered that his compliments had been paid to the Sir Fred- trick Smith who for many years led the Liberals and Free Traders of Manchester ie not known Still, he has the consolation of knowing that the man who Avon his admira- tion in this matter is no longer the out-and- out Cobdenite he used to know, for Sir Frederick Smith of Colwyn Bay and Man Chester has modified his viewH 011 Free Trade syico war was declared. Sir Frederick Smith, the Attorney-General, was rot, in fact, a member of the Committee, and if he were he Avoul d hardly hoe serving on it to repre- sent the cotton industry. Customers of Llandudno shops will read with interest the, letters published in another column from the Hon Mrs Henry Mostya and Lady Neave apropos doing business with alien enemy tradesmen. They very properly, point out that, failing action by the Govern- ment. it lies with tho general public as to whether these traders at Llandudno and elsewhere shall profit at the expense of Britishers who are sacrificing everything in our interests It is for us to say "We refw,4 to trade with Germans, Austrians, Turks, Bulgarians, or any other people who, iflibe were in their own country, would be fighting against us in this lifc-and-death struggle. If we say that and act accordingly these alien' enemy establishments will bo closed down, just as establishments controlled by British men and women in Berlin, Vienna, Constanti, noplo, and Sophia have been long since takex from their hands. Still, this is not merely 1 ij measure of ret.aliation against our enemies but a perfectly reasonable and just policy t | adopt in common fairness to men of our owi4 1 kith and kin who have given their sons an< 1 employees in defence of the Motherland, an 4 who are in consequence handicapped in com- petition with foreigners. When General Owen Thomas was rousing. j Wales a few months ago in support of his scheme to provide for soldiers on their return from the war, he warned uq that unless we took adequate steps to prevent i it we would find our heroes returning hom* in due course with only the workhouse door open for many of them. Though Sir Owen l was able to cite cases from his own experi. enee after the South African War, few then conceived possible a repetition of that state of things after a war in which five millions of our fellow-men are engaged. People said- "Tho Government dare not risk it. Everj voter in the kingdom has a relative or per. sonal friend fighting against Germany, an the Government knows well that if any in. i justice is done to these men it will be bundlee out of power neck and crop." 4 Yet this is what happens to-day. At th. 1 St. Asaph Board of Guardians meeting lasl Friday it was reported that among these wh< ,had just sought shelter in a casual ward al the Workhouse was an ex-soldier bearing th< proud name of Brittain. After previously serving with the colours he had rejoined when war broke out, and had been at the J French front for 199 days, Now he has been j discharged without a pension, and for tbt < time being is an inmate of the St. Asapii h orkhouBe. This is only one of many simi lar cases reported in various parts of tin country. As Brittain happens to be at Englishman he will not ue eligible for assist ance under Sir Owen Thomas' scheme, anf though it may be possioie that he will bene H fit under the new Pensions Act, we have her painfully clear evidence that Sir Owen's fean were justified and that Wales did Avell U protect her own gallant trcops from suci ignominy. < it "And how's the new baby?" asked the .1(1 family friend of the proud and happy father. "Babies you mean." responded the other cheerfully; "it's twins, thank goodness." "TAVWS But, my dear chap, I didn't kuow you were so fond of children as all that." "Fond of 'om?" repeated the proud parent, reflectively; "no, I don't say I am, but, ye see, they make an addition of two to the family, and that means íive extra pounds of meat a week for tho household without up- setting Lord Devouport. Come and liavo some luncli."
