We have no desire to deluge the country with a flood
of noisy rhetoric, or to start a miniature electioneering campaign.
But if in any great city where recruiting is slow or the issues are
not apprehended, or the public conscience is not quick to respond
to the national summons, I, or any of those who share my views, can
be of any service on the platform I am sure that we are willing to
respond and that we shall welcome any organization that may be set
on foot for the purpose. I am, yours obediently,
CURZON OF KEDLESTON.

PRIME MINISTER'S LETTER.
Addressed to the Lord Mayor of London, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh,
the Lord Mayor of Dublin, and the Lord Mayor of Cardiff.
My Lords: The time has come for combined effort to stimulate and
organize public opinion and public effort in the greatest
conflict in which our people has ever been engaged.
No one who can contribute anything to the accomplishment of this
supremely urgent task is justified in standing aside.
I propose, as a first step, that meetings should be held without
delay, not only in our great centres of population and industry,
but in every district, urban and rural, throughout the United
Kingdom, at which the justice of our cause should be made plain,
and the duty of every man to do his part should be enforced.
