It is difficult to imagine any one in this country advocating a large standing army plus a navy, which is vital to us; but such there were and such there will always be. With the minds of these militarists, protectionists and conscriptionists, Arthur Balfour had nothing in common at any time.
The voluntary system had hitherto been relied on, and there was strong opposition, both in the Cabinet and in the country, to tentative proposals for conscription. Lloyd George took an early opportunity of showing that he was on the side of the conscriptionists.
Conscription despite the war-time plea of our own conscriptionists that it had nothing to do with militarism was abolished as the head and front of Germany's offence; and her armaments and munitions were limited to diminutive proportions.
The German Army is everything the conscriptionists dreamed of making our people; it is, in fact, an army about twenty years behind the requirements of contemporary conditions. On the eastern frontier the issue is more doubtful because of the uncertainty of Russian things.
