Man Power in Great Britain

."Plain facts" says the British Minister
of National Service, edo not support the
statement that the armies are melting for
lack of recruits and that recruiting has
broken down." Nevertheless, the decision
of the government in dealing with a con-
dition freely described as critical by OBJ
servers who are supposed to be we'll in
formed will be received with mixed feel
ings by many and probably raise storm
of protest in some quarters.
Apart from the trade problems, which
are apparently still unsettled, two i'm
portant questions were in every ones
mind. The first was whether the military
age limit should be extended; the other
whether the men of military age in Ireland
should be called up. The government has
decided that it is not advisable at present
to take either step. In order, therefore, to
raise the 100000 men required at once
reliance will evidently be placed on the
large numbers engaged at present in non
essential trades and industries. 1t ap-
pears, however, that as yet the govern
ment has failed to come to an understand
ing with all of the leaders of the trade
unions; hence the problem of man power is
still unsettled.
There has been much evidence Of anxiety
in Great Britain with regard to this qucs-
ton, and some resentment was expressed
when Parliament adjourned before Christ
mas without announcing a decision. That
the governments scheme should omit two
Of the points regarded by many as abso-
lutely essential to a reasonable settlement
will greatly irritate those who could find
no excuse for the long delay in announcing
any scheme at all.
Some time ago "The Morning Post"
spoke as follows on the matter:
There must be no partiality in treat
mcnt, and ireland must be brought within
the law. Every fit man Of military age,
whatever his occupation, must be made
available. 1t is probable that the age limit
must be raised. 1t ought to have been
raised long ago. instead of sending out men
who have been twice thrice wounded.
1t is longer a question as to
whether OF not these things advisable,
for the government have delayed so long
that instant and desperate measures are
demanded as the price Of victory.
Other papers we're even more threaten
ing, and predicted great popular outcry
in England, Wales, and Scotland should
the government attempt to leave Ireland
out. Clearly, however. it is impossible to
think of conscription in Ireland until the
decision Of the convention has at least been
announced. Perhaps a majority in Great
Britain will realize the impossibiity in
spite of the outcry Of the extremists. In
the meantime, however, it is clear that
the problem of man power has not been
satisfactorily solved, and the only consola-
ton lies in accepting the assurance of the
Minister Of National Service

Down in Rome we haven't seen coal for so
long that we have almost forgotten what it
looks like. This is not so bad for the
Romans, who seldom are visited by snow and
freezing cold, but it is bitterly hard for more
northern places, such as Bologna, Milan and
Turin.
Food is scarcee all kinds of food. Prices
are high frghtfully high. Italy lives on
wheat. To-day she is gradually starving for
lack Of it. An ordinary pair of shoes costs
rs francs. Common labor earns francs
day
This is the sort of thing that makes Tor
revolution. If Italy goes hungry she is likely
to hold her rulers responsible and lay plans
for revolt.
South Italy, including Naples and Sicily
is both poor and ignorant. 1t knows nothing
of the issues Of the war, and is only in this
war because it is part Of Italy lndiffcr-
cnce and apathy were common until hunger
and high prices came along: then the cleri-
calls and radical Socialists found this region a
fertile field for pacifist propaganda.
Italy feels that she has been Disseminated
against in the rate of exchange and is bitter
about it. In normal times an American
dollar is worth lire Is centimes. To- day il
IS worth from to 10 lire. The exchange rate
for France is much more favorable Why not
find way to improve it for Italy?

MISUNDERSTANDING With France
