Immediate PEACE"
Greatest Need of World
Says British Labor
Leader

London, Feb. I've are al! weary or
war said Arthur Henderson, Labo:
leader and former member of the war
council, in an address to representatives
,of the engineers today. Immediate peace
is the greatest need Of the world. But
peace cannot be achieved by one section
OF labor acting by itself, Peace will
come when the working class movement
as a whole has discovered peace worthy
Of the imaginable sacrifices the peo-
pies have made
Mr. Henderson's address was an appeal
TO the engineers to abandon their oppc-
stion to the man power bill providing
for the raising of additional troops, when
Is now before Parliament.
Mr. Henderson said that knowledge OF
the history of the controversy convinced
him that labor was justified in its stant.
He continued:
In the past labor has responded with
real patriotism, fully and freely. Is it
too much to appeal to the patriotism OF
the government? l strongly urge the
government to display a more reasonable
spirit"
"Hasty measures of the kind contem-
plated may not only embarrass those OF
us who are trying to promote a moral
ard political offensive on the part Of
the working classes and destroy their
unity they also may give TO the reac-
tionary forces further opportunities TO
divide and weaken our efforts. Demo-
cratic diplomacy has begun. British Ia.
bor first of all, formulated its war aims
| The premier then declared his acceptance
o. the governing principles of our war
aims and President Wilson went even
further in the direction We desire to see
governments moving and affirmed win
great force and cearness the principYe.
we have laid down"
Reverting to his declaration that an
immediate peace was the greatest need
OF the world. but an honorable and den.
ocratic peace, Mr.. Henderson continued:
Peace must be made on thesa terms
ana on no other This is our. nd cy. r
viii be presented as a moral Ill matum
TO the governments from an organized
democracy in all the bellgerent govern
ments. ] appeal to the workers not TO

end only in dscrediting the democratic
cause.
