The country is in danger." he said, and he went on to emphasise the need for a population ready and trained in arms for the time when the call should come.
Lord Rochdale, a president of the Cadet Committee, proposing the Imperial Forces, said that in 1914 the Army was minute in size, but matchless in quality. "But slace the war we have cut it down and down in men, munitions and equipment until it is a phantom of what it was even in 1914. And still, although we have cut it down, we cannot get the men to reach full establishment.
"If you want an Army you must pay for it, and you must educate the young of this country to be ready to volunteer for service."
