Excerpt from Man and Machine Power in War and Reconstruction

The author of these lectures, an ex-soldier, has something to say about the Man-Power problem and presents a side of it that cannot fail to appeal very strongly indeed to all thoughtful people.

He came to work in India at the suggestion of ray distinguished fellow countryman Sir Rabindranath Tagore, because he thinks that India must play an important part in developments that we all hope to see when peace is restored. He has made some substantial advance towards carrying out his ideas, and has enlisted the support in various ways of a great many of the most prominent and advanced men in the country.

In commending his suggestions to men of culture at this critical time, I am able to point out that they have been developed in his previous books published in English and in French and reviewed by eminent economists and in leading publications in Europe and in America. Suggestions that have been eulogised by such men as Sir Horace Plunkett as an economist and the late Lord Roberts as a soldier may be confidently recommended in this carefully condensed form for thoughtful consideration. With a view to get them studied in India, I have arranged for the delivery of a series of lectures by him in the Calcutta University as soon as the next session begins.
