When Men Refuse to
Fight. Then the World
Will See No More Wars

"It Is the vaunted desire for war TO
the last shilling and the last man, that is
dishonest and insincere,' says Bernard
Shaw. who further declares that peace
should be continually discussed b. all bel
Iigerents and neutrals until it is finally
achieved
AS for terms, they viii probably be
made according TO the desires of rulers,
whether potentates. parliameuts or big
business, and not for the real good of
the people at large.
These things must come later.
Therefore, what are the PEOPLE
lighting for, and why are they hypno-
!. tized by higb sounding words and
phrases?
Germany. at least, has ceased to bonn
bard our ears with the din Of kultur
She will be satisfied to pass that pre-
cious legacy along to a very few, provid-
ing there is a free passage for her goods
to the orient and an outlet thru the
North sea.
The Allies still harp on Civilization,
tho we're that consistent plea, they
could easily begin by practicing on their
impovished, famine-ridden lands of India
and Ireland.
The continuation of the slaughter Of
men has little excuse, for it can be seen.
with half an eye. that no crushing victory
can be obtained by either side.
Germany can continue TO fight.
The Allies can continue to fight.
More ground can be made into huge
grave yards; more people can be bereft:
more debts piled up, and what then?
Cessation from exhaustion; ruined
countries; ruinously depleted popula-
tions; feeble offspring; the complete par
alyzing Of all scientific, artistic, construc-I
tive effort-and then.
A re-arrangement of the map >of
Africa "self government" so called, in
certain states, with benign overlordship
by those in power; some millions of in
demnity changing hands one way or the
ether; and what is left of the people, who
have given all and gained nothing, may 20
to work and attempt to repair, in several
generations, the havoc that has been
wrought.
For it is not Civilization nor Kultur for
which the masses are fighting.
1t is not the readjustment of economic
conditions which will make life better and
happier for the people it is not the rights
of small nations-it is not an ideal of any
sort, nor is it for defense.
1t is now a determination on the one
hand to win, at whatever cost, for the
sake of winning, and determination on
the other hand to stand out for its own
terms.
There is growing feeling in this coun-
try, that peace advances might have been
met with broader, better spirit, and
that the door which half opened to admit
the dawn of hope for hundreds and thous-
ands of lives, need not have been so ruth
lessly closed.
There is only one hope for the future
and it does not lie in leagues. peace parties
nor disarmament schemes but in the
breasts of men.
When men will refuse to fight, there
will be no more wars.

DR.. J. H. Samuel as a candidate for
