Abstract
THE dominant lesson of the War is that the quantity and scale of the equipment which the combatants can throw into the scales at the right place will go as far to determine the issue of the struggle as the military virtues of the rank and file or the skill of the commanders. The industrial effort of Great Britain and its Allies must be raised to a level from which the flow of equipment will swamp that of Germany. Not until it can be said of the Allied forces that, like the German fighting man, they are equipped with every offensive weapon and every device for their protection that forethought and ingenuity can provide, may our war production be regarded as adequate.
