Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speeches
I am proud to think that we have given freely of our rail way staff and our materials for the equipment of railways overseas in the interest of the Empire, and in this country we have subordinated other requirements to military needs. While no restriction has been imposed which was not dictated by considerations of our Imperial interests, no one regrets more than I do the inconvenience which has of necessity resulted but I hope and believe you will consider it a small thing when compared with the great causes involved in the present war.
