top to bottom with next to none Of the
political disturbance that attends SINH
lar operation in Great Britain, where Min
listers sit in the legislature and cannot re-
main in Office unless they command ma
jority in the House of Commons.
What British experience has pretty
clearly shown is that party government
is not good instrument for waging war,
that a non-party government is hardly bet
ter, and that war government is the only
satisfactory solution. By war govern
ment | mean a government such as Mr..
Lloyd George presides over to-day, gov
eminent every member of which has been
chosen for his post without the slightest
regard for his political views and afilia-
tons and simply on his merits as an eff
cient administrator and shrewd adviser.
forbear to inquire how far Mr.. WILSON'S
Cabinet conforms to this standard. But it
must differ considerably from the ordinary
type of party government that one en-
counters throughout the democracies of the
world if it's efficiency could not, at pinch,
be materially increased.
A thing that we found essential in Great
Britain and as to the necessity of which
all the belligerents are agreed, and indeed
all soldiers and sailors everywhere, is a
censorship of the press. Our censorship in
the early days of the war committed some
blazing imbecilities, but it has never once,
so far as | know, allowed any information
that could be of use TO the enemy to get
past it. And that is very great achieve
ment. How great it is any American may
conceive who quietly sits down and tries
to imagine the American press similarly
muzzled into innocuousness. | do not quite
see how in country the size of the United
States it would be possible to set up
single censorship to which all press dis
patches would have to be submitted before
publication. That works well enough In
Great Britain, but it would infallibly break
down here.
