CONSCRIPTION AND THE REMEDY
"WHACKING /GERMANY OUT." "Conscription," shouted an, interjector whan Sir Joseph, Ward said last night that no party measures had been iritro-; ; duce'd by the National Government. "I' was'opposed to it before the war," «aid Sir Joseph; "Mr. Lloyd George, was op- : posed 'to ' it before the war, Mr.™ Asquith was opposed to it, Mr. Ben Tilletfc was' opposed to it., I want to say nowj I believe in getting ,rid of. conscription and I believe the only way you are going to get rid of conscription is by theBritish Empire and her Allies whacking Germany out. (Loud applause.) When •that has taken place you will find that the men at the heart of the Empire and in the-overseas Dominions will be parties to compelling Germany to drop > conscription, but do you think we cam stop conscription while she is conscripting her last man !"
