The third degree of National Service, s degree which more than 5,000.000 of our fellow-countrymen have qualified for, is service in the armed force of the country.

There are to-day vacancies for roughly 10,000 men on really urgent Government work. Aeroplane factories also want hands, male and female. What I do want at present is a steady supply of labor to build aero-' drones. . . . No civil building is really of any importance in compari- son with nerodrome construction at the present time.

The first duty which rests on every man, woman, and child in this coun- try to-day is so to order their lives that they make the least possible de- mand at all times upon the energy of others. What is our duty " simple citizens? First we have to maintain our ”mien in the field. Next we have to main- tain and to expand our Air Service. Next. we have to maintain and expand our Fleet. Then we have to build more ships, to make more munitions, to grow more food.
