SPEECH BY LORD DERBY.
THE THREE NECESSARY THINGS. MEN, MONEY, MUNITIONS. (Received April 16, 5.5 p.m.) London, April 14. Lord Derby, speaking at the Guildhall, said that three things were equally imperative if we were to win the war — men, money, and munitions. It would be an easy thing to take all unmarried men for the Army, but it would ruin industry. Behind the minds of many of his critics was a feeling that he could have hastened general compulsion by resigning, but that would have been a betrayal of trust. Universal service would come if Mr. Asquith was convinced that the military necessities of the nation required it.
