WHY WAR?

A CCORDING to the cable the con-
N dition of the working class fami-
"A lies in some of the manufacturing
towns of Holland is deplorable. Wages
are very low, and the standard of life
cannot be maintained unless mother
and children take their places in the
factory side by side with the head of
the household. Let's see. Isn't the gov
ernment of that country contemplating
a plan to send warships manned by
workers to make war upon other ships
manned by workers in some South
American country? In the clash of
carnage will either group of working
men dying on bloody decks know what
it is all about?
Holland calls itself a Christian and a
civilized power. What degree of civili-
zation and what manner of Christianity
will be exemplified in the dispatch Of
an armed and bellicose navy from The
Hague, the scene of the worlds peace
conference, to take human life in pay
ment of a financial obligation? The
action of The Hague is reducing the ia
nous conference to an absurdity, and
will arouse horror among all human
beings who are really civilized and try
to be Christian.
