The piece argues for immediate conscription and mobilization of manpower and resources in Canada. It calls for a second Western front, fuller use of women in industry, and unified plans across war industries, defence, and services, while criticizing current ad hoc methods and liquor distillery plans as wasteful. It stresses equipment, factories, farms, and skilled labor as vital to total war.
