FORCES MAKING FOR ANEW DEMOCRACY

reins of power, there exists state of affairs destined to be eventually over thrown, but which Will entail much suffering in the process.
 Those who are looking for the end of the world war, need not look in the direction of those whose profits are
 being built up as a consequence of it,
 but to those who are suffering most
 from it, and these are the workers of each nation. These are denied ex- pression on the flimsiest of pretenses and I believe there is more of Demo-
 racy in Britain herself than could
 be found in Canada. Papers are de-
 nied the mails that are published in the motherland. Ordinary news of doings in Britain do not appear in Canadian papers. Much. that the ' British people were determined upon is not known in Canada. Only per versions of facts are allowed to ap- pear.
 Labor will do much of the rear 'iranging of territories" after the
 war, and will be party to whatever
 treaties were made or they would not
 be made Nations of the future will not be for"od into alignments which they do not themselves approve of.
 To here and there seek to suppress the voice of few men is the expedi- ents of all the countries but is a hopeless effort as you cannot forever repress humanity. History abounds with warnings as to the futility and blindness of such moves and exped- tents. The basis of all true Democ- racy is that of equality and oppor- tunity for all. Today it is property first and humanity afterwards, where as in properly constituted state, property will only be used as it con serves and ministers to the needs of the mmunity-human well-being.
 It is satisfactory to note that the returning soldiers are combining with the forces of Labor, in spite of at tempts to split on the part of those who have something to gain by such split. Such a combination is all that is needed to ensure the future of Democracy, and the end of control by the profiteers and their friends.
 hnr society to be reckoned with. The forces that led men to sacrifice self in the effort to achieve ideals which are not always appreciated. The Nazarene is an outstanding figure in history. because of his death for an ideal, and the forces directly actuated by him were persecuted by the ruling classes for many generations, and shows that there are deep antagonisms between them and the people in power that the people in power are afraid of those forces. and desired to crush them. This is the parallel today as any observer can we'll see. Yeti under whose regime did Rome perish Were the followers of Nezarene any, where in power when these empires went to destruction? Certainly not but on the other hand, it was just those forces which had been unre- lentingly crushed. which will eventu- ally rule the world. Common to all lands is the religion of human hap piness and progress, and the brother hood of man. For this LiebknechtI was in prison in Germany, and Debs in America.
 A willingness to sacrifice, is found everywhere with those who align themselves truly with the forces mak- ing for Social Democracy. They seek kingdom not remote from things--a kingdom of heaven if you will, but upon earth the universal reign of human justice.
