REBUILDING THE WORLD
PLANS IN BRITAIN. UNITY OF THE DOMINIONS. LONDON, September 17. Supplementing Mr. Lloyd George's message to the nation, in which the Prime Minister appealed for the cooperation of ail in building up a new world, nine other Cabinet Ministers outline the future of their departments.
Lord Milner (Secretary of State for the Colonies) states that the United Kingdom and Dominions are partner nations, not yet of equal power, but, for good and all, of equal status. The time will come when the Dominion will surpass the United Kingdom in wealth and population. It is the paramount duty of British statesmanship to see that the free union gloriously maintained during the war shall be strengthened in years to come.
Mr. Winston Churchill (Secretary of State for War) says: "We contemplate an army substantially larger than that existing before the war, but better paid and equipped, and recruited on a voluntary basis."
Sir Eric Geddes (Minister of Transport) visualises the casual dock labourer of the future living in a garden city and putting his spare time in a garden. He will be called to work by telephone from the docks, thus abolishing the present hanging about street corners. — (A. and J*.Z. Cable.)
