The only logical alternative to conscription is a policy of adherence to the volun- tary system. 'Ottawa's proposed de- parture from the voluntary system carries all the surface indications of a miserable compromise and hollow sham. The voluntary system will yet raise an overseas army of 500,- 000 Canadians.

The mere economic ef- fect of the loss of hundreds of thou- sands of young men in the prime of life and vigor is almost incalculable. We may safely assume that by No- vember we had lost through the war about a tenth of all the wealth we possessed before. "The present public expenditure of the Government is believed to be about equal to the whole of the private incomes of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom put together. The figures of other combatants are too small, because a very large part of their expenditures has been met, not by loans, but by debasing cur- rency. ow "We are now adding to the na- tional debt every five or six weeks the three years of the Boer War.
