While predictions as TO the last
half Of 1926 are not being freely
made the reason is because OF the

Anti-C Consumption Manifesto

The following Manifesto declaring a
gainst conscription was prepared by a
special ad hoe Committee and signed by
several representatives of European and
other countries.
During the war people in all the cour-
tries determined to throw off for ever the
woke of miIitarism, and, when peace
came, the League Of Nations was well

countries who have already signed their
intention to be present to nineteen.
The Antigua Magnet, Sept. end.
, 1926-09-10

coined as the offspring Of this hope. 1t
is our duty to see that the terrible suffer-
ing of the war does not recur.
We call from some definite step to
wards complete disarmament, and the
demilitarising of the minds of civiIised
nations, The most effective measure to-
wards this would be the universal aboli-
ton of CONSUMPTION. We therefore ask
the League Of Nations to propose the
abolition Of compulsory military service
in all countries as a first step towards
true disarmament.
1t is our belief that conscript armies,
with their large corps of professional Of
fcers are a grave menace to peace. Con-
scription involves the degradation of hu.
man personality, and the destruction of
liberty. Barrack life, military drill,
blind obedience to commands, however
unjust and foolish they may be, and di-
Eberate training for slaughter, urder5
mine respect for the individual, for des
mocracy and human life.
1t is debasing human dignity to force
men to give up their lives, or to indict
death against their will, or without con-
viction as to the justice of their action.
The State which thinks itself entitled to
force its citizens to go to war will never
pay proper regard to the value and hap.
piness of their lives in peace. Moreover,
by CONSUMPTION the militarist spirit Of
agressiveness is implanted in the whole
male population at the most impressiona.
BILE age. By training for war men come
to consider war as unavoidable and ever
desirable,
BY the universal abolition Of conscrip-
ton, wal will be made less easy. The
Government of a country which main
tains CONSUMPTION has little difficulty in
declaring war, for it can silence the
whole population by a mobilization order.
When Governments have to depend for
support upon the voluntary consent of
their peoples, they must necessarily exer-
else caution in their foreign policies.
In the first draft of the Covenant Of
the League of Nations, President Wilson
proposed TO make cOnscriptiOn illegal In
all affiliated countries. 1t is our duty to
restore the original spirit which created
the League, a spirit shared by many Of
those who fought in the war, and pro-
fessed by many of the Statesmen of the
countries concerned, By the universal
abolition of CONSUMPTION we can take a
decisive step towards peace and liberty.
We therefore call upon all men and WO.
men of good will to help create in all
countries a public opinion which will in
duce Governments and the League of
Nations to take this definite step to rid
the world of the spirit of miIitariSm, and
to open the way to a new era OF freedom
