KING'S REGULATIONS

SCORN OF DEFENCE COMMISSIONERS. "Wβ have been too prone in the Do-i minions to copy English Army methods because they are English Army methods," states tho leport'of tho Defence Expenditure Commissioners; "but experience in this and other wars has proved that to bo a. very excellent "reason for not copying some of them. In Ihe English Army labour has been cheap and plentiful, and on Borne ■ administrative jobs there, notably Army Service Corps work, and in r lesser degrees ordnance and stores services, a very largo staff is necessary to carry out a, too elaborato system. In newer countries methods are more direct, and a system should bo evolved lo suit our local" conditions. Largo elnffs, such as they had in England, would not 1» tolerated here; nor aro they necessary, as this war has shown. Some officers on loan here from tho English Army, especially if they have been here during the whole period of this war, do not realise the vast changes that have taken, "and are still taking, place in English Armv methods. 'The old order changeth, yielding place to iiew,' , and the end is "not yet.

"As an excuse for tortuous procedure we often had King's Regulations hurled at us; but ns a. 'certain mischievous person' is 6aid to quote Scripture when it suits him, so King's Regulations, large m number and wide in variety, come in handy to the ingenious."
