Of all the British ministry, Lloyd-George alone seems
to have comprehended the plight of the empire from the
beginning oi the struggle and to be the only one big
enough to solve tlie proDlenis it t.tees.
Lloyd-George, foresaw the munition scandal and
warned the nation, and when the crisis came, mobilized
the nation's industries, adjusted labor grievances and1
.Men are needed to fight for Britain. Irish, Scotch,
Canadians, Australians, New ealanders, East Indians
have patriotically responded. The Entrlish alone fail to
show patriot ism. .Millions of dollars have' been spent to1
induce them to be patriotic, without avail. But one course

ts it-it rujiM-ripiiun. ii t ue uieii arc inn secured ai once
it will be too late.
The cabinet dilly-dallies while the empire's chances
slip. Its motto seems to be "too late." Aid for Erance,'
for Bclgjijin, for Serbia, for the Dardanelles, came too late.j
The cabinet has proved its inefficiency, its incapacity, in
diplomacy un hi war. u lias outlived us liseiuiliess.
The cause of lack of patriotism in England is the mis
erable feudal caste system which j-till obtains. The aris
tocracy and plutocracy have so long reaped the benefits of
exploitation of the masses that the latter has come to view
the former with suspicion. The long struggle of dem
ocracy to secure fairer conditions has destroyed the na
tional consciousness and left only class consciousness.
Conscription is not new. The principle that every
able-bodied male is liable to be called on for defense of the
state dates from the earliest times. It was applied in thel
slSSSSSSite WORKING 75,000 SERBIAN
the existence of the empire is seriously threatened.
, Lloyd-George, hated as he is' by plutocracy and aris
tocracy, seems to be the man of the hour. lie 'is the most
progressive statesman of modern times, the most; far
sighted and the most, capable Jle is the man of "the hour
and should be entrusted with the ship of state before it is
too late.

A T a recent dinner in New. Xqvk, Rear-Admiral V. 10.
-t Ghadwick, retired, in discussing imperialism and
militarism, said:
"Navies and armies are'insurance for capital owned
abroad by the leisure class of a nation. It. is for them that
empires aiufsphcres of influence exist. The great war now
waging is a culmination of efforts to maintain and extend
these spheres."
Seldom has the truth been more succinctly staled, but
the utterance is unusual for a navy man, who usuallv ex
presses the narrow class view instead of the broad, human
itarian view.
This being (he case, why not make (hose for whose ben
efit wars an waged, huge armies and navies maintained,
pay the cost of them?
Why not tax the rich to pay for preparedness?
Why not tax the munition makers who are profiting bv
the war to pay the deficiency in revenue caused bv the
war?
Why make the masses, who are the victims, pav- in
stead of the beneficiaries
