THE NEXT WAR
EVERYONE WILL BE IN IT BRITISH MINISTER’S WARNING. “Whether you like it or not, everybody must realise that a modern war affects the whole community,” said Sir Thomas Inskip, Minister for Coordination of Defence, at an Empire conference at Oxford recently, says the Sunday Express. “The whole resources of the nation and, in qur case, the Empire, are bound to be mobilised.
“A modern war involves the whole of the civil population as much as it involves the professional soldier and sailor.
“The Committee for Imperial Defence in 1914 had made all preparations for war so that on August 4, almost by the pressing of a button the whole plan was brought into operation.
“Now we have three Services instead of two. The task allotted to each cannot be successfully carried out unless there is full consultation *and co-oper-ation between all. That co-operation is taking place.”
