NorthcliRe as Adviser

7 ORD NORTHCLIFFE, who has come to
l. represent Great Britain in the process
OF co ordinating her war resources with ours.
has been the most conspicuous and the most
powerful critic the war has evolved In Great
Britain. But-and here lies his great poten-
tial value to the two countres-he has
never contented himself with condemning.
In the highest sense, he has been construc-
tive critic. His vast resources Of nforma-
ton have made him familiar with condi-
lions. and his own energy. patriotism and
ability have driven him to seek a remedy
for them when they have been unsatisfac-
tory.
1t is not likely that he was the first man
TO appreciate the desperate need of the Brit
sh forces for high-eGplosive shells, but it Is
certain he was the frs: to make that need
public AT a time when Great Britain leaned
on Lord Kitchener with complete confidence
Northclifie dared expose the fact that the
first 100000 had been virtually wiped out
because 1t was inadequately armed and
equipped Something close to rioting re-
suited Lord Kitchener was an idol. and
most of Great Britain bitterly resented what
seemed TO be IN attack him. But North
cife kept on, and in time factories began
turning out the sort of shells demanded to
cope with German artillery.

Northclffe realized that the old theory OF
alone was absurd, and would lose the war.
Largely through his untiring efforts. Lloyd
George became the man OF the hour, and
Great Britain was forced to mobilize more
than armies OF lighting men. Throughout
the war, Northclife has probed and studied,
and when he has come to conclusion he
has made it public-but always with a plan
for betterment
