selves as favorably impressed with 
the plan and had promised to. an- 
nounce definitely within a short time

Mr. Saltonstall pointed out to the 
secretary that at the time of the

Spanish-American war more than 
1000 officers and many thousands of 
enlisted men were drafted into the 
service from civilian life without any 
previous training. Since the begin- 
ning of the European war, he said, 
the British navy has been doubled in 
personnel by the enrollment of pro- 
visional officers and civilian volun- 
teers and has now issued a call for an 
additional 50,000 officers and men. In 
view of these facts he declared the 
country’s need for a training course 
to supply an adequate naval reserve is 
obvious.

MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
ENGLISHMAN Gives TALK on “LLoypb 
GEORGISM AND CONSCRIPTION.” 
HE semimonthly meeting of the 
Manchester Brotherhood last Mon- — 
day evening was one of the largest © 
attended of the winter. W. T. Colyer 
of London was the speaker, his sub- 
ject being “Lloyd Georgism and Con- 
scription.” ¢ 
Mr. Colyer’s talk was indicative of 
the pacificist throughout, and with 
strong coloring of the socialist-labor 
sentiments. That he did not str ke a 
popular strain with the score or more 
Englishmen present was very evident, 
for none of them appeared to agree 
with his views. : 
“Mr. Colyer said by way of intro- 
duction that it seemed rather queer — 
how. Lloyd George, who had always 
had the reputation of being the peo- 
ple’s friend and of being democratic 
throughout, was now so favorable ta 
conscription. 
As to war in general—he was 
averse to it in all its phases. It was — 
against his principles of religious or 
political liberty to kill another man; 
and if it is against his conscience, then 
for him to go to war and kill men, is 
nothing short of murder. We have 
had in England, he continued, people 
who are willing to talk peace in time 
of peace, who now will not talk peace 
when war is menacing. 
He traced the recent political his- 
tory of England, and then of Europe, 
previous to the outbreak of the Eu- 
ropean war. The real cause of the 
war, he said, was the rivalry of pri- 
vate groups in the various part of — 
Europe, in the countries now at war. 
This war does not arise from any 
conflicts of the interests of the people 
of the world. The bulk of the people 
in all the countries at war believe they 
are fighting a defensive war. This 
war, as all others, derives its support 
from the populace very largely from 
an illusion—the people think they are 
fighting for one thing when as a mat- 
_ter of fact they are fighting for some- 
thing very much different. 
The speaker ventured to say that — 
this idea of conscription has existed 
in England for many years; it was 
wanted by certain interests for the 
purpose of breaking trade-unionism 
and to kill any socialistic reforms. He — 
believed, however, the right to strike — 
was an elimentary right. 
He reviewed the conditions leading 
up to the forming of the coalition — 
government and what happened when — 
the coalition government came in. If 
conscription is carried through now 
under coalition government, then no — 
party is to be blamed for it, he said
