Woolwich Arsenal is old. Woolwich Arsenal is NOT old-fashioned. It is probably the most comprehensive factory in the country. In spite of the modern trend to specialisation, vast savings can be achieved from unnecessary transport costs. The machinery is up to date and well maintained, and the methods are modern. The 200-acre site is practically self-supporting. It has its own Gas and Electricity Factories that can supply a much greater demand competitively. We can be served by Rail, Sea or Road. We can and should be developed, not reduced. Disarmament and the Channel Tunnel are future possibilities. Woolwich Arsenal is in an excellent position for a peace assual on the Continent, by Tunnel or Sea.
