Many cf them could have been used in work. There was no job in headquarters that could not be filled by a vet- eran of the Great War, he contend- ed. yet there were men there in senior jobs who had no previous active service. He said the present recruiting campaign would be much more suc- cessful if the campaign had been organized along the lines oi the Victory {nan campaign; and he criticized a paragraph in instruc- tions to recruiting speakers urging them to stress that the fight was for Canada rather than for the Em I ll headquarters pile. e believe we are fighting for the British Empire. l‘ think who- ever was responsible for that (para- fiéah) should be disciplined,” he Col.
