In the terrible lighting on the Western front the

tnainfalfltéd at Salonikj in spite of th!! 5lI\'C\‘¢' Slfillll
placed upon shipping by the subinarine destruction in-
dicates that an effort is to he made iu the Balkans, it
is a matter of surprise that a campaign should bc

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'.
