a Cabinet Minister felt impelled to make
such an anxious national appeal as vas
made through the press by Sir Robert
Horne, Labour Minister, today. The fol-
lowing are extracts from his long state
ment which is being given the widest
publicity in Great Britain. Any man who
is ~unprepared to put forth efforts even
greater than those made during the war,
mocks the dead he processes to glorify.

Failure to apply all the power to the
peaceful production of honest toll means
that the country will be ruined as ire
trievab y as if the Huns had invaded it
and spread devastation over it. No class
is free from criticism. Manufacturers
are proiteering at the expense of the
community, and many workers are re-

the service of their country. AS a result
of these two factors, Great Britain is be-
