Under the heading head-ing "Why We Must Win," Sir Leo Chiozza Money has begun a series of articles which are attracting considerable consid-erable attention here, particularly because be-cause it is thought that the course which Lloyd-George 's cLlof lieutenant outlines will not be very different Irom the one the British government vill adopt for the remainder of the war. "I am one of those who believe that out of the bloodshed of this war great good will arise. Irom death we may raise more life," Sir Money begins be-gins his first paper. "From tumult we may secure a better order. From destruction we may learn to win a greater wealth. From the fruits of misgovernment we may learn the elements ele-ments of statesmanship. From the revelation rev-elation of great but unorganized imperial im-perial resources we may discover a truer imperialism. "In August, 1914, when the war broke out, we had no plan ready to mobilize the ten million white men of military age in the empire. We had no plan ready to keep our wealth from enemy use in war. e had no plan ready to insure that our ships should carry what it was to our best interests inter-ests for them to carry in war. But in spite of all these misfortunes the empire has done splendidly." He then goes on to show how English Eng-lish government stupidity had allowed the Germans to get control of several commodities which are absolutely indispensable in-dispensable in war time, ana which were principally to be found within the British empire. He quotes the German control of the spelter of the world, of the nickel found in Canada and of dye-stuffs, dye-stuffs, and he mercilessly flays the gov-ernment gov-ernment for its stupid apathy and neglect. ne-glect. "In the future.," he says, "there must be a continuous scientific survey of all the imperial sources. There must be the freost communication of ideas and counsel as between the various parts of the empire. There must be a working council of empire seeking ever to guide the whole fabric in the common interest and for the greater good of each of its parts. There must be an ordered interchange of imperial material products which shall seek to produce greater wealth for everv British Brit-ish citizen, alike for the full development develop-ment of human physical powers and for the glorious privilege of imperial independence. inde-pendence. There must be peace plans and war plans. Possessing these we may avoid war." |
