The little lady put in sticks for them

They started blooming in July. They
'were rightly named Heavenly Blue

hundreds of blooms. They still throw

Army Council Problem
° The Department of National De-
fence, the headquarters of the Cana-
dian army, is generally consideredto
be an 'exact -counterpart of the Bri-
tish War Office.
In broad .outline this is true, but
in important aspects the organization
of the Department of National De-
fence differs frOmr the War Office.
'I h' differences are 'fundamental. In-
deed, the system now in operation at,
National Defence headquarters at Ot-
tawa more closely resembles the
British „system prior. to the Esher .re-
forms of 1904 than 1t does the pres-
ent British system. ,
The differences in organization' as
between the Canadian and the British
headquarters are of sufficient import -
knee to warrant detailed examina-
tion.
• Across British experience in army
organization, -the Esher reforms of
1904 run like a watershed. The eas-
iest way of explaining the differences
between London and Ottawa ts to out-
line the problems which confronted
the Esher committee in 1901 and the
measures recommended to' solve
them.
As a result of the Esher report,
the British War Office was reorgan-
ized. Under the supreme authority
of Parliament and the cabinet, con-
trol- was vested in the Secretary of
State for War. In Canada, this would
be the Minister of National Defence.
Immediately below the minister, the
Esher report -recommended a new cre-
ation—the Army Connell. While there
have been ,minor changes from: time
to time, the Army Council has Con-
tinued to be the foundation of Bri-
tfah war organization. It consists of
eight members with the minister as
chairman. There are " three civilian.
members —7 the under-secretary, the
financial secretary of the War Office,
and the pernaanent under-secretary
(the deputl minister). There are foui:

military members—the Chief of the
imperial. general staff, the adjutant -
general, the quartermaster -general,
and the 'master -general of the ordn-
ance.
For the purpose of these articles
the title of master -general of the ord-
nance will ber.used. It is understood -
:however, that it has been abolished
and the functions largely transferred
to the British Ministry of Supply and
the quartermaster -general. The 'Brit-
ish army .council, however, continues
to include a director-general of army
requirements, -which is substantially
the function of the former M.G.O.
The army council, presided over by
the secretary of state (the minister),
deals with army policy, senior ap-
pointments, major decisions of 'all.
kinds g The . council is a statutory
body, created by law and in every
way ' responsible.
The•position of the army council in
Canada ,has already been described
in these columns. There is, in the
British sen.se, no army council at Ot-
tawa. The -Canadian Militia Act vests
in the minister all the powers which
in Britain are exercised by the coun-
cil. The minister is, himself, the
army -council, and must accept final
responsibility for all decisions—con-
sulting whichever of his military' .ad-
visers (or one) he -chooses to consult,
The body at Ottawa which is called
the army council lacks statutory sub-,
stance and responsibility.
The army council in Britain was de-
vised to solve a' problem which was
very real in Britain prior to 1904—
the problem of democracy in war. The
story is told in all the standard mili-
tary text books.
In a democratic state a cabinet of
civilians, responsible to Parliament, is
in control. In war, however, soldiers
must have a large share of the power
ordinarily exercised by the cabinet.
Who is to make the final decisions—
the military or the civil authorities?
"The robt, difficulty," wrote Asquith
". . . was how to cotabine rapid and
effective action . . with .t,he &ain-
Ienance of Cabinet responsibility and
control." Lloyd George phrases it
differently but says much the same
thing: '"This is one of 41e most. Per,:
plexing anxieties of the government
of a nation at war. Civilians have
had no instruction, training or exper-
ience in the principles of wax; and, to
that extent are complete amateurs in
the mehtods of waging war." He goes
on, however, to say that it i idle to
pretend that intelligent mend regard-
less of their lack Of technical military
knowledge, will not quickly learn the
art of war. The difficulty in 1914-18,
he rpoints out, was not to teach civi-
lians; but rather the generals how to
conduct modern warfare. ,
The -weaknesses of military control,
on the other hand, are review at
length by Lloyd George in his War
!Memoirs (page 2,034). Thus the Ger-
Man: general staff, which was supreme
and could ignore the civil authorities,
lost whatever chances GergianY might
have had Of 'victory in 191448 by at-
tacking Belgium and, later on, by the
unrestricted U-boat campaign. The
one brought in Britain and the other
the' United States. The German civil,
,government opposed both deeisions.
The army reforms of 1904 sought
to solve this problem.- The ineffici-
ency of, the array organization in the
Crimean war is' well known. The fail-
ures of Ithe organization in the .Smith
African war was equally plain. Speak-
ing in tile House Of Lards on Jan.. 30,
1900, Prime Minister 'Salisbury re-
viewed the record of inefficiency since
the days of Wellington. Failure was
so complete that ,bad generalship
could not entirely account for it. 'It
is evident," ,be said, "that there is
something 1ii. the machinery f gov-:
ernment that is wrong. - I do not
think -that the British constitution as
ttt 'Present Warked is a good fighting
machine."
