In a great crisis such as the present, when altogether unprecedented conditions have to be. met, strong differences of opinion are likely to arise between men who have to bear the responsibility of actions which may or may not turn out to be successful. That there have been such differences in the Cabinet «nd in the higher- commands appears to be evident. Still, while it is extremely regrettable that there should have been any break in the continuity of the Cabinet, there is a good deal of compensation to be found in th % e fact that there is no party conflict, and that, ac a result of the impending changes, strong men of various party attachments will join in constructing a National Ministry. No doubt it is particularly unfortunate that anything should happen which will,give the enemy an opportunity of poiriting'^dM^ed^unseWf & that, drawback' must1 be 'borne with.
