Contrasts in New War Council.
As far as we know no one has pointed out how thoroughly representative of the British Empire are the members of the new War Committee of the Imperial Cabinet. Mr Asquith is a Yorkshireman ; Mr McKenna, despite his name, is a Londoner ; Mr Balfour is Scottish, of Haddingtonshire ; Lloyd George is Welsh ; Mr Bonar Law,coming from New Burnswick, can bo said to stand for the colonies; and Lord Kitchener, who will join in the deliberations when he returns from the East, is Irish, having been born at Bally tongford, County Kerry. The contrasts are obvious ; coolness, logic, determination and impetuosity are fairly well balanced, and with such a blend discussion would be keen, and smart work should be the result. Will the decisions of the Council bring forth tho “ big drive ” for which the world is waiting —or shall we find the trenches again still occupied in the spring? —Waikato Tim*.
