While the "Chancellor of the Exchequer told the meeting that Capital and Labour must be diverted from peace services in order to win the war, Mr BoxAR LAW emphasised that trade was one of our chief weapons in the war, Capital and Labour have been diverted from peace to war services to an enormous extent alreads, and we have Lord KITCHENER Baying that the problem now is how to take millions of men from the workships and farma and still supply all the war material for the ever-increasing Army I have lotter bars from a solicitor in the field.
