while Germany refused to let England trade with
German colonies.
She had the right at any time to follow Ger
manys own course and give her own merchants
and manufacturers preferential tariffs. She never
exercised this right BUT GERMANY DID.
So much for the German gibberish about
Britans jealousy of German trade. 1t is well
to note that during the war Britain has sacrificed
at least third of her trade to Japan and to neu-
trails in order to supply her allies with shipping.
Instead of grabbing trade" Britain has been
losing il turnout the war
As to colonies, now that she has taken them,
England may not turn the German colonies back
to Germany just out of goodness of heart, but all
of them together are not worth the price of one
months war.
No question about Germany's fever-ridden,
fea-bten African colonies is going to stand in
the way of peace.
OF course it will be loss to humanity if
Germany's colonies are returned to her; for her
military caste has converted them into hell holes
for the unfortunate black and brown men who
live in them, and no white man-not even
German, can be persuaded to emigrate to them,
while they are under German rule

There is another thing Britain wants-the
end of Turkish murder and pilage in Armenia,
Syria and Mesopotama.
Certainly Britain is not willing for the
tender German to succeed the lovely Turk as the
owner Of this valuable real eSate-but Britain has
never before nor since the war laid any claim
to them herself.
If the world powers can set up system of
Self-government or government by an interna-
tonal commission in these harried countries there
will be no opposition in London.
What England wants out of the is
exactly what America wants-the victory of democ-
racy and a peace based Justice peace
which will endure long selfgoverning men
are capable of reasoning and governing them
selves by the principles of justice and the teachings
of Christianity.
The best answer to all the chatter about Great
Britain today is found in the Australian, Canadian
New Zealand and South African armies fighting in
France for democracy.
The circle of free commonwealth, self-gov-
erned and happy, girdling the globe and bound to
Britain by nothing but the sentiment of common
origin and fair treatment, is the best answer to
"What does England want?"

WHAT does England want out of the war;
w The question is suggested by one OF the
recent phases of the kaiser'S propaganda in this
country, as shown in the utteranceS OF some OF the
kasers senators and some of the kasers news
papers
These have done their best to create the inn
preston that Britain in some mysterious way is
blocking peace negotiations until she can grab GER
tain advantages, or territories.
Ii is just as false as all the other stories which
the kaiser lovers have sprung Ii is false on the
whole and false in detail
In the first place ii is not Britain's say as to
when peace shall be declared. AS the bankers OF the
allies, the United States, thru President Wilson,
can call the war off at any time. AS the principal
military power in the alliance France can do the
same thing.
What England does want out of the war Is
best explained by the record of what England has
asked for.
First-She wants Germany to get out Of Bel
sium She declared war Germany, when Ger
many refused to stay out of Belgium, and offered
Germany every opportunity to preserve the peace
by submitting every issue to arbitration.
Utterly unprepared for war, Britain only drew

the sword when Germany repudated every oblisa-
ton Of their joint treaty guaranteeing Belgium
neutrality.
Second-Britain wants Germany to respect
the freedom of the seas-to quit piracy. She also
wants Germany to stop the building Of great
fleet, THE DECLARED POLICY OF WHICH Is
THE DISRUPTION OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE
Years before the war, Britain proposed to Germany
that both powers quit throwing their money away
on dreadnsughts and confine their navy building
within the bounds of common sense. GERMANY
REFUSED EVERY TIME.
Britain wants Germany to adopt arbitration
instead Of war as the means OF settling interna-
tional disputes. She proposed this to Germany at
The Hague and elsewhere many times before the
war, AND GERMANY ALWAYS REFUSED.
Britain wants Germany to respect private
property and merchant ships at sea, both in war
and peace. She proposed these measures, BUT
GERMANY REFUSED.
SO much for the record.
Now for the future.
Britain certainly wants no commercial prjvil-
eyes from Germany as she was carelessy permit
