TRUCE FOR FIVE
YEARS SUGGESTED IN BRITAIN

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The suggestion
that an industrial truce for five years
should be arranged now as a guarantee
of Britain's highest interests in the era
of mechanical progress that he said
was bound to follow the war, was made
by Sir Charles Wakefield, the lord
mayor Of London, while presiding at a
large gathering of representatives of
all branches of the engineering in
dustry at the Mansion House.
Whatever might be said of the fu-
ture of commerce in general" said the
Lord Mayor, 1--WE are all surely agreed
that the nation and the empire must
.zealously guard the security and prog
ress of engineering. 1t is mainly on
the engineering workshops of this
country that the fighting forces of the
alliance depend for mechanical means

How soon we could gladden. the world,
How easily right all wrong,
If nobody shirked and each one
