and to all time.
The message Of the play Is that the
greatest nation Is that one in which
friendship and love replace the war-like
spirit, and the marching armies are only
those that go 70 their daily peaceful
tasks; that, for centuries, the people have
been fighting for their kings, and now

Let me give you an example re-
marked the munitions minister. In the
first place we have introduced scores of
millions worth of automatic machinery
which will have an enormous effect upon
our Industries when the war is over. In
addition to that we are adding to our
already great industrial army of skilled
workers and shall need them in the fu-
ture to replace the rsvsges of war in
this country.
Therefore, so far from being the eX-
hausted Britisher in everything that con-
stitutes real and true wealth, we shall
be a better organized, better equipped,
better trained, and. what is more impor-
tant, perhaps, a better disciplined nation.
In fact, we shall indeed be national and
not congeries OF conflicting interests.
