Speaking with reference to the New j Zealand Dcfence Forces yesterday, General 1 Sir Edward Chaytor said that what was required at present was a small but efficient force. It should be the nucleus of a fighting force, but the smaller the better "We have now to pay off our war debt," he said, "and the wholo of our energies should be devoted to doing this." "General" Booth bas been giving England the benefit of his Australian experiences. He declares that "be found there a growing enthusiasm for work quite distinct from the ambition to be well paid for the work done." This is rnost satisfactory, and serves, among other things, to show us that we have evidently misunderstood the position over there. In future, when we read of strikes, we will know that they are simply protests against too brief working days; that sabotage is merely a scientific method of creating additional employment, and the "go-slow" policy is neither more nor less than the manifestation of the unsubduable and feverisli energy of the horny handed Australian proletariat. It is something to be ahle, like the General, to look past the seeming of things, and see them as they really are.
