The article focuses on the growing industrial discontent in Great Britain. It is not that the British worker is unpatriotic, or that there is any weakening of their purpose to see the war through to a democratic peace. But he does not propose to fight for imperialistic ends or to make some people rich, and he does intend to demand a reckoning for his sacrifices when the war is over. Thus, a sub-committee of the Executive Committee of the Labor Party has just submitted a report demanding the universal enforcement of a national minimum wage.
