Mr. Henderson, moving the resolution regarding unemployment, said the Prime Minister asked why he was attacked. It The average reader will, however, turn was not difficult to find an answer. He first to the portion of Sir William Robert was attacked because he was head of the son's book which deals with the war. Da most reactionary Government they had this point all I can find space to say by known for twenty years, The Coalition way of comment is that he proves that was not representative of the best, but our military blunders and troubles all of all that was bad in both parties.

The entirely vicious policy referred to was stopped when the author of this story took up his duties in Whitehall; indeed, he made it a condition of his acceptance of the office that he should be free from political interference. Another curious fact that emerges is that the appointment of a Generalissimo, embodying the idea of unity of command, was opposed by all the political beads, with the possible exception of M. Clemenceau, until the disasters of 1918.
