I REMEMBER! 53 rapid and headlong. It became a sort of all-round scramble to determine who should get the most for doing the least. Through it all there was but one cry: * Nothing matters but winning the war.” Any word of warning, any gesture of prudence, was answered by this parrot folly. The Press censor- ship stifled any reasoned protest; while the nation, knowing something was bitterly wrong, knew not what and could not understand. I have revived these somewhat unpleasant reflec- tions only for the purpose of guiding understanding to the difficulties which confront us now. Present- day workers have their suspicions that most of the employers’ anxiety for peace is insincere, but is suspicion entirely unnatural even if it is unfounded? Further, has anything happened since the war that is reasonably calculated to inspire confidence? It may be ungracious to revive these memories, but it would be a disservice to ignore them.
