You'll not get far with a motor car pursuing you and sergents de ville abnormally on the qui vive because the crime wave that followed demobilisation as yet shows no signs of subsiding." "But, mademoiselle, it makes me so unhappy to have any shadow but my own." "Then rest tranquil here with me. It isn't much farther to my apartment." "Possibly it would be better to drop you there first "
Our imaginations are stirred, the driving force is here, swift action possible, and certain extraordinary opportunities are open which presently must close again. On demobilisation we have the chance of our lives to put men on the land.
Any scheme, however rough and ready, which will fix men or their intention of settling on the land in Britain at the moment of demobilisation will be worth a hundred better-laid plans which have waited for perfection till that one precious moment is overpast. While doctors quarrel, or lay their heads together, the patient dies.
That figure will shrink to a mere skeleton unless on demobilisation the Government is ready with a comprehensive plan. The men fall roughly into two classes: those who were already on the land; those who were not. The first will want to go back to their own districts, but not to the cottages and wages they had before the war.
What is there to prevent the Government from beginning now to take stock of the demands of industry, from having a great land settlement scheme cut and dried, and devising means for the swiftest possible demobilisation?
The occasion passed off well. Its feature was the admirable speech made by the Colonel. In February the Battalion, which it was known would be made up with drafts and retained for service as a unit, was sent to Etaples to assist in the Demobilisation scheme.
The rural housing ought to take precedence of the urban, not because it is more intrinsically necessary, but because if the moment of demobilisation is let slip for want of rural cottages, we shall lose our very life blood, our future safety, perhaps our existence as a nation. We must seize on this one precious chance of restoring the land and guaranteeing our future.
Any foreigner, even an enemy, who set up a factory in England after the war would be doing just the very thing which we most of all want to be done, namely, setting the wheels of industry going, relieving the labour market from a possible glut after demobilisation, and helping that difficult stage of transition from war work to peace work.
There are times when the proverb: "Act in haste and repent at leisure" should be written "Unless you act in haste you will repent at leisure." This is such a time. We can take, of course, the right steps or the wrong steps to settle our soldiers on the land; but no wrong step we can take will be so utterly wrong as to let the moment of demobilisation slip.
It is my demobilisation paper with the final date. I will look " "Are you coming?" called Alfred, from the end of the passage. "It is snowing wildly." "There is some mistake," muttered Julien, his eye searching the large unfolded document. "When, when ?" Fanny, hanging on his words, watched him. "One moment. It is a mistake. Alfred! Alfred, here, a minute!"
