Scope and Contents

Letter from Frederick Guest (Aldford House, 26 Park Lane, [London]) to WSC enclosing a memorandum on compulsory military service and the reorganisation of the War Office [see CHAR 2/67/33-38], reporting that private MPs are becoming increasingly dissatisfied at not having more information from the Government about the conduct of the war and suggesting that WSC become "a free lance and a powerful patriotic critic" of the Government. He thinks the Minister of Munitions should have complete control over the Ordnance Department and that a Cabinet of 22 is too cumbersome to make quick decisions. Signed typescript.
