It is a most deplorable fact that we should be driven to enlist in any branch of our Imperial forces men who are otherwise than of frat-class It is not only physique and morale. in Itself a source of grave potential weakness, but also tragle reflection on the general health and staminn of the nation.
To criticise the voluntary system In this country is still almost lexe- majeste. In the past I confess to being one of its most fanatical up- holders. It almost made me weep when, towards the middle
of the War, we had to depart from it. Many of us hated the very thought of our splendid cohorts of free-will fighting men being watered down with com pulsory conscripts.
But even those so minded are. If face facts, driven now to realise they iwo things. First that the voluntary system resulted quite inevitably in the very best and finest manhood-of this country being sacrificed to the Moloch' of the War Machine. We Mola creamed

Secondly, by rejecting conscription we have deprived our population of one of the most effective means of maintaining and raising the general physique of the nation. Thirty years ago we used to smile at the physique of Continental conscripts. Today the boot is on the other leg. It is prob- Iematical whether any national effort to raise the physical standard will compensato systematic troining that young Frenchmen, Italians, and Germanis receive.
