IN EVENT OF WAR.
ORGANISATION OF AGRICULTURE (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Jan. 19. Speaking in London, the Minister of Agriculture (Mr W. S. Morrison) said there were two ways of organising agriculture to meet the event of war. One was to conscript agriculture in the sense of dictating what pastures were to be ploughed and what operations to be done. In the case, of rearmament in the industrial field, the Government had refrained from conscripting industrial works, believing that free play of the energies of the people could create an instrument for defence fully as formidable as any conscripted industry. The Government’s policy would be of permanent benefit to agriculture in peace as well as strengthening it for wartime conditions.
