PUBLIC OPINION AND THE WAR
THE CONSCRIPTION CRY (Rec. 'January. 13, 0.5 a.m.)' London, January 12.. Lord Sydenham, in abetter to "The Times," says that in view- of the lack of knowledge of our military activities', evidenced by Opposition questions in the House of Lords, some co-operation, of the acutest intellects available, irrespective of party allegiance, is desirable. Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, M.P. (Labour), . correcting the report of his speech in Parliament, states that if the policies which made the war continue, then the arguments iu favour of conscription will be unanswerable. Mr. Arthur Henderson, M.P. (Labour), speaking at Manchester, said that when the voluntary system proved such a success it would bo inconsistent, in view of the political truce, for any seotion, high or low, to saiggest that the Government should introduce con'scrip. tion or compulsory; service.
