ADVOCATED BY LORD ROBERTS. CRITICISMS REPLIED TO. (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) LONDON, February IG. Lord Roberts, speaking at Bristol, said lie did not want to arouse an aggressive-, jingo spirit. Peace, and ■not war, was what he earnestly desired. He wished, 'however, to arouse, foster, and develop a more manly and patriotic spirit in the nation, and to induce the youth of the- country to guard their heritage. Universal training would discourage the swashbuckling tendencies and ambitions of a military caste. Nobody woidd suggest, lie said, that the system in operation in the overseas was making the Dominions bellicose or aggressive. Lord Roberts repudiated the idea that a compulsory force would be used to repress strikes. If the Labour Government in Australia did not fear this, the wage earners of England had no reason to entertain the idea. He appealed for funds to enable the National Service League to maintain its crusade.
