ABSTRACT
Lord Leverhulme gave cogent reasons against "Conscription of Wealth", and set up instead an ideal of comradeship in the mutual relations of Capital and Labour. It is not true of proportions to scale with the resources or wealth of the present British Empire, as compared with her former war periods; nor is it true in relation to the resources Science has placed at the disposal for more rapid recuperation from the effects of the war. Most cruel and deplorable loss in this war is the awful sacrifice of human life. The employer-capitalist and employee-workman, have fought side by side in the trenches, and laid down their lives side by side on the battlefield in this great war. The employee-workmen, through their Trade Unions, have also become more active, and have rightly and properly— so long as they respect the just rights and liberties of others— organized to improve their position.
