France throughout has strained- every, nerve. We .alone have large unused. reserves of men, and the only question is:. Shall we employ the power of the State to call them up? It seems to; a. practical , mind,. -unclouded by old controversies and' party cries,' that there is but one answer. ' The. law is not.needed',.to compel,men to serve ■because-they are unwilling, but for the purpose of providing adequate national organisation.";,. > . :■ The . Council of the Royal Colonial Institute' unanimously .resolved to■ support whatever - measures' ; the: Government takes with regard'to national service.
