(To tlic Editor.) i^ir, —I do not ?ce why. if we are determined to do so. we should not po etra.ifrht ahead with the manufacture of munitions, ns Mr. Allen suggests. All we want is men. nlert me.n. with n will. Some plant wifll have to be procured f'-om abroad. I should think Mr. Allen knows what he is about, and if he is ready to start he must know ■where ihc plant m to shut on. This is oili war, and let im realise it. The lives of a few of our men saved I>y us in this direction would Iμ , indeed a handsome profit. Although my position nnd responeibilities make it most ineonvfiiient for mc to ass.isl. I will throw these! on one fiide. and foe there to assist, if my assistance will be of any u.-e in this great cause. Let ite just picture to ourselves thofc brave men who havp gone to offer ( up their lives for vs —men who now know t no home comforts, no firejiido, expoeing ( i i.lieniselvrß to such as one would shudder ] at. Cannot we do something here in , this pwweful little country 'to help them? ] Surely nothing wouW be too much. Let j us then be British, show our patriotism, . ' and show these brave fellows at tho , front tii.ii we are trying to assist thi'.i!, here.—l am. etc.. F.S.G. I Olevedou ; June 20. :
