But if there are to be no earnings there can be no savings, a Mr. Lloyd George will find himself the unhappy position of Mother Hubbard upon a certain historical occasion. Those are the arguments against conscription so far as the subject is arguable without intimate knowledge of the whole circumstances. There is however, an &Rielly strong case for a measure of conscription which would provide for the co-ordination and unification of all available effort. We are of opinion that the Go' ernrnent would be entitled, according to circumstances. to commandeer every available resource, and utilise tge services of every Englishman and Englishwoman who is in a position to help. That is the broadest view of conscription possible, and it is open to the Government to take that view or any modification of it.
