ENORMOUS MISDIRECTION

SOME PLAIN FACTS, "Already," writes Mr Chiozza Money, M.P., "there has been an enormous amount of misdirection of effort, all of which will have to be paid for in blood and in money. There are men at the front who ought i^> be working on our railways and factories at home.. There are men at home who ought to be at the front. There are hundreds of thousands of healty middle-class young men who remain unrecruited while such allimportant industries as the iron and «teel trade are short of labor through recruiting. When are we going to face such facts as these if not now? "To-day, after eight months of war, Germany is still fighting upon .ground i that she has won. If the Government is not sure of its position, let it still organise in order to make its assurance doubly sure. In brief, let every possible step be taken, and taken forthwith. Thus acting, the Government will speedily convey to the British people a true sense of the magnitude of the thing to "which our hand has been put, and it will not again be necessary for Ministers to complain that we are making war as if there were no war."
