Of course I know that it would be. criminal folly if the British Empire showed signs of relaxing its efforts at this juncture.
The suggestion would be anathema, but there is no reason why we should not make an endeavour to see things in their proper perspective. The Tribunal is now dealing with the cases of a few men whose claim to temporary exemption has been "recognised. Their enrolment means that to a greater or less degree British trade interests will suffer. Rightly or wrongly, so much has been admitted, and the Tribunal, in reviewing these cases, must necessarily start from that position. Is the need of men from the outlying parts of the Empire so great now that all those, who are certified as medically it must be sent regardless of Local conditions.
