lt has always been and always will he easier-and

more congenial also to some minds--to criticize than Io sttggesl a correction ,to tear down than to build' np. The Liberals recently sought to make capital out of the fact that as soon as the Ross rifle was con-

factory and begun to turn out Lce-l7.ntields_ It was pointed out to tltciii that the Ilritish tiovcrnment had given it as its opinion that thc Ross rifle factory could not be transformed into a plant to produce l.ee-l~In- fields within a couple of years; but that did not sa- tisfy .\lr. l’ugsley, .\lr. (irahanl, .\li',`(lli\'er and .\lr. .\lurpliy_ 'l`liey brushed aside the llritisli fiovcrn- me-nt's Opinion as absurd, \\'ere certain that l.ce-lin-

strategists, how iiiislcading this kind of partizan cri- ticism islikely to be, is shown by the following ar- ticle in “\\'orld’s \\'ork." dealing with thc problems

Council of Natioiial Defence. , Says the writer:

“.'\ board appointed by the Secretary of \\"ar

has reported that the Springfield rifle has more than a hundred parts in it and requires more than 'l,40o distinct factory operations to produce the finislied' piece. The experience of our most highly organized aml best pquipped plants in carrying out European orders for- military ser- vice rifles is a lesson that the Council of National Defence has taken to heart. The lack of correct specifications and drawings. followed by the lack of correi:t_guagcs, jigs, special fixtures, and tools, not merely caused delay in arriving at a satisfac- tory output. but :rinsed si large ivastage of time and labor upon uiisatisfactory products. 'l`hi_-_ plants that are now turning out foreign rifles after two years of bard work have not yet reaeli- ed their expected capacities. To tnrii tlnesc pri- vate plants front thei inanufacttirc of liuropean rifles to the iiiaiiufactmc of the _Springfield rifle would. if unilertaken today, require not less than eighteen months to get first results and at

_least two years to get capacity output."

I The writer is only pointing out that what the llri- tisli tioverinnciil knew was the dillicully inthe cast of the Ross rifle factory. is the case with rifle facto ries in thc ljnited .\`tati-s: that it is impossible to cliange from the inanufacture of one military rifle to the manufacture of another and achieve useful pro- duction within two years.

'l-'low stupid and ignorant Upposilioii criticism in

connection with the Ross rifle appears when read in the light of these facts. /\nd as with the Ross rifle. so with countless other matters in which politicians. either ignorant, or malicious, strike blndly at those in authority. More harm has been done in this war through ignorant, unfair and unlhinking criticism than by most things one can think of. .-\nd not tht least harm done is that such unthinking criticism nc- cessarily weakens ptiblic faith in criticism that is real and constructive'.
