'The superficial facts are against US,
but the fundamental facts favor us.
There IS no reason, therefore, to avoid
them.
"The whole question depends on or
ganized labor. Unless it allows us to
put unskilled workers on the work
which hitherto has been the monopoly
OF skilled labor, we cannot perform
this task. There can be only one ap-
peal, namely to patgiotism. Victory
depends on this. Hundreds of thou
sands of precious lives depend on La

" 1t is question whether we are go
Ing to bring the war to an end In a
year or linger along in the blood
stained path. Labor has the answer. "
Earlier in his speech. Mr.. Lloyd
George admitted that there was a bad
shortage in the British munitions sup

declared that the present situation
was quite a different matter. Last
May the British were turning out only

Here is the situation now" he con
tinued
"The quantity of shells fired in tn,
recent September operations was
enormous. The battle last days. ever

shells. This was the result of foul
months careful outstanding. Yet We
replaced the whole amount in a month
and hope soon to be in a position
to replace a like amount in a week"
