Thoughts on the War-

Uh! cheer up!—.Mr W. Crooks, M.P. A GLOOMY VIEW. The prospect is that twelve months hence ivo shall be asked to vote new credits for a military situation substantially the same as it is now.—Mr Lynch, M. P. MYSTERIOUS. We have in hand enterprises whose sudden development might completely change the face of the war in a lew hours One of these enterprises is known to all men. The other is not —Mr Arnold Bennett. ART IN INDUSTRY. We all -want Great Britain to keep a foremost- place in the new world that is now in course of formation; a right mderstanding of the importance of Art in Industry will help more than most people suspect.—-Mr G. M. Ell wood. FARMERS' LOSSES. According to information which I poft sess, it is by no means true that farmers. as a whole, have been making Jarge profits out of the •war. Many farmers have been losers, and many profits that have been made have not gone into the pockets of those who till the soil—Mr Montague, M.P. TAXING WAR PROFITS. There is 110 doubt that .a very Considerable sum could be raised if some practical plan could be devised for the •State appropriation of business profits which are clearly due to the war. —Mr Philip Sodden. M.P. AN IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. My own hope and belief is that tlio hest thing that could come would be an ' .Imperial Parliament, in which every part of the Empire should he proportionately and responsibly represented, atld in which subjects Avhich affect every art of the Empire should have discussion and solution.—Dr W. H. Hadow. MOTHER VIEW. Each part of the Empire should control itself in its own way, with an Imperial Council to deal with purely Imperial affiairs, hut I warn you that if you .attempt to create an Empire Peril amen t to deal with the whole of the affaire of tho Empire, it will be a greater failure than the Imperial Para liament.—Hon W. P. Schreiner.
