For such a crisis as this these
things are too late and too little. The
mass of poverty has not been relieved.
Therefore, Great Britain's army
after nine months of prodigious work
has reached a total believed by OPP
timists to exceed 100000, against
the 100000 of Germany and the
100000 that Great Britain ought to
have.
But, you say, Germany too has un-
dergone great industrial develop
ment; Germany, too, has become a
great manufacturing nation. Yet
Germany shows no signs of physical
breakdown.
All, yes. And that is the point.
Great Britain; amid these changes
has held steadfastIy to the policy of
letting the toilers look out for them
selves. Germany, under the inspira-
ton of the astute Bismarck, has
made its first concern the health and
physical welfare of its toilers.
For 35 years Germany has been as
siduously careful of these things.
Compensation for accidents or disa-
bility, insurance against unemploy-
ment, old age pensions, pure food,
sanitary dwellings, physical develop
ment and training are old stories in
Germany.
Hence she turns out as a capable
army one to seven of her population
and Great Britain turns out one to %.
Poverty is the deadIiest foe. For
years nation may walk its way and
disregard the enemy within. Then
the test of war comes and it has for
defense one in twenty-five of its pop
uIation instead of one in seven.

were neglected the naClOn was walk
ing the sure road to trouble.
When the jar came and these words
proved true there were Investigations
that showed startling facts. 1t ap-
peared, for instance, to be literally
true that what had been called the
richest nation was in fact the poorest.
Of the total population of 42,ooo,-
600 it appeared that about 5000, 900
lived on the starvation line or below
it, and of these I 300, 900 were in Lon
don. Poverty was so general and so
acute that one person in every four
must be buried at public expense; or
in other words, as pauper.
A census of the East End of Lon
don showed about 10000 persons as
members of families domiciled in but
one room to family, and that some-
times a cellar or sub-cellar.
Terrifying statistics were produced,
showing the rapid increase of insan-
ity and disease among the submerged
millions.
Further investigation proved that
between the well-to-do castles and the
toiling castles was a steadily widen
ing margin of physical differences.
The average height of the well-to-do,
was found to be almost three inches
greater than the average height of
the inferior castles; their chest meas
ures and leg measures were distinctly
different
The factory toilers were becoming
a race of beings stunted and dwarfed.
Society was producing new kind
of human creature, inferior physical
Iy, inferior mentally, without physi-
cal stamina and without the spirit of
revolt, dull, sheep-ike, submissive,
unimaginative, weak and retrogres-
siVe.
Will you make soldiers of these?
On the revelation of these appalling
facts the government undertook rem
edies. 1t is on this account and this
alone that we have had the accident
