The hearts of the Canadian\neditors, no doubt, swelled within them as they listened, but it is more\nthan likely that not one in ten of them has read the secret treaties of\nunderstands what we are already pledged to.\nLloyd George says that we are to have a hand in the making qf\nterms of peace. Wouldn't it be a good thing before he talks about\nthat to let us have a hand in the terms of war! He goes on the\nassumption that things will be fought out first\u2014and afterwards we\nwill be consulted in the passing of suitable agreements for a permanent Peace.\nOh I it all sounds so nice, and so simple\u2014but Lloyd George has\nnot yet shown his ability either to win the war, or to win Peace.\nAll he ean do is to lead the world further and further into hell.\n\"There must be no hugger-mugger Peace\u2014it must be real Peace.\nWe are not waging war for the sake of killing or being killed but for\nthe sake of establishing a just and durable Peace in the world.\"\nThis\u2014with slight variations\u2014is what all Governments are saying, and even while they say it they hold the parties that would make\nfor Peace as far apart as thoy can. \"We are not waging war for the\nsake 6f killing or being killed.\" Very true\u2014truer than many imagine.\nIf tho-men who are-saying this wore the utiuirhinen to do the*1(lttliS\u00a7\nand to be killed the war would soon be over.\nWe are not waging war for the sake of killing and being killed.\nWe all want to avoid being killed just as long as we possibly can\u2014\nbut. somebody is doing the killing and somebody being killed\u2014and\nkilled by the thousand every day\u2014and so it will continue to theiend\nof the chapter if Lloyd George has his way.\nWe are killing and being killed because of certain treaties that\nwere made in which Canada had no voice whatever\u2014in which the\nUnited States had no voice whatever\u2014and now we are told that we\nBhnll have an equal voice in the terms of Peace I\nEqual voice, poppy-cock! Talk about not wanting a hugger-\nmugger Peace! Of course we don't\u2014neither do we want a hugger-\nmugger war, and that's exactly what Lloyd George has given us. A\nwar so confused nnd contradictory that both sides claim they are fighting in defence of small nations\u2014and both sides call the others \"liars.\"\nAVe have got into such an inextricable mess that wo at last find ourselves fighting for treaties that had to bo made in secret nnd kept\nin secret.\nLet Lloyd George repudiate the secret treaties and show that we\nare not fighting for nny additional territory and then we will lie willing to listen. What's the use of him telling Canada that she will have\na voice in the making of Peace when there arc clauses in the secret\ntreaties that we would never dreamed of endorsing if we had been\nconsulted? What's the use of him giving a hunch of Imperialistic\nCanadian editors a lot of bluff, when an opportunity for Pence only\na short time ngo wns turned down by himself and the French Premier\nwithout letting Canadians know more than the barest outline of it?\nThe further on we go, the blacker the outlook seems to become\u2014\nthe more appalling the sacrifice and the less chance of extricating ourselves\u2014nnd not because there is no way out, but because our leaders\nrefuse to see it. He finishes up his speech with the words: \"The god\nof brute force must this time forever be broken nnd burned in its own\nfurnace.\"\nIt might be as well for him to consider that he has appealed to\nthe same god of force himself. If the, outcome of all this holocaust\nis that this god shnll be \"broken and burned in its own furnace,\" then\ni not only the Central Empires, bnt the British Empire and America\ntoo, will come down in the crash for they arc all worshipping nt the\nsanio shrine.\nReplies to British Labor Party's War Alms Received\nProm Enemy Countries\nTHE war nims of the British Lnbor Party, which we published\nn short timo ago, have been sent into the enemy countries and\nreplies hnve been received from five of them: The Bulgarian\nSocialists accepted practically nil points, reserving some regarding\nMacedonia.\nThe Hungarian Workers have submitted another memorandum\niniieli on the snme lines.\nThe Austrinn Socialists accept the principles as a basis for\ndiscussion.\nThe German Minority Socialists also submit a statement along\ntho same lines.\nThe German Majority Socialists forwarded n reply by Troelstra,\nbut the Allies refused him passports nnd so prevented it from reaching its (lesfinnflon. The summary which hns been received show their\nEVENING AND MORNING\nSuggested by a sermon in Emmanuel Baptist\n, Church, preached by Rev. W. Stevenson,\nSunday July 7th.\n\"And the evening and the morning were the\nfirst day.\"\u2014Gen. 1.5.\np Peace\"\ngoing all the privations, are hungering for a chance to talk to one .\nanother.\nThe war element in each country is set on keeping the Peace\nelement in each from finding expression and yet they claim they want\nto get the ear of the Peace element in the enemy country. There is but\none way to do it and that is to allow the Peace elements in each\ncountry to come together. It will not take long then to bring their\nown Governments to their senses.\nWhen first the spirit moved through Dark and\nChaos, ^~\nAnd moving, bade the elements obey\u2014\nAn age-long night gave place to wondrous daybreak\u2014\nEvening and morning made the Earth's first\nday.\nNot first the morn, and then the shades of\nevening\u2014\nNot first the day, and afterwards the night\u2014\nBut darkness first; the darkness and the chaos\u2014\nAnd ofterwttii-ds 'The \u25a0 Wonil'ious, niarvrfiniis\nlight.\nSo, through the ages, mankind toiling upward,\nTravels the weary road to Peace from strife:\nFrom dark to light, from evening to the morning\nFrom gloom to gladness, and from death to\nlife.\nThere is no shade that does not tell of sunshine\u2014\nNo prisoned heart but somewhere is release\u2014\nThere is no parting but will end in greeting\u2014\nNo war and tumult but will end in peace.\nCourage! brave heart, press through the shadowy\nvalley;\nThe hills beyond are radiant and bright.\nThere is no night that does not end in morning-\nThere is no dark but ends at last in light.\n\u2014W.E.P.\niwsij^^\nwillingness to take part in an international convention on the basis\nof the proposals made by the neutral Socialists.\nArthur Henderson, Labor leader and former member of the War\nCabinet, speaking at Northampton on Saturday, said: \"It seems clear\nthat the German Majority Socialists accept virtually all the principles of the inter-Allied memorandum. They are ready to discuss\neven the question of the responsibility for the wor, although they\nthink that no good purpose could be served thereby. They are ready\nto discuss Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine, and believe tbnt an amicable\nsolution can be found. They agree to a complete restoration of Belgian independence. They urge that an international conference would\nbe very useful at this time, and finally they declare themselves in\nfavor of a league of nations to prevent aggression upon one power\nby another.\"\nNow, the question presents itself: What are we going to do\nahout it?\nIt is painfully evident that the present Governments of the world\nare absolutely helpless to straighten out the tangle they have got into.\nThey can do uohing bnt drive human beings forward by the thousand\nto destruction in the hope of somehow, somewhere, bringing the\nslaughter to nn ond. \"The wny to hell is pave'd with good intentions,\"\nand no doubt all the Governments have been doing their best to make\ntho pavement good and broad. The intentions were good,\u2014we de not\ndoubt that,\u2014and the last four years has seen more progress towards\nthe place where the good intentions lend to than any four hundred\nyears previous.\nIt needs something moro than good intentions\u2014and thnt something more will have to come from the common people this time.\nOnce more, there will have to so up a cry for nn international\ngathering of workers to discuss not war aims but Peaee nims. Will\nthe Governments allow this? Will they dare refuse it? So long ns\nGovernments speak to Governments we can get no further.

We are all more or less familiar with the story\nof the man who started to interfere in a family quarrel and what he\ngot for his trouble. Exactly the same thing might be expected to\nfollow the first nation that starts to butt in on the Russian tangle.\nThat things are in a state of grave unrest there no one with an\nounce of brains will attempt to deny, but the very last thing for us to\ndo would be to interfere before we are asked. Russia must be allowed\nto settle her own internal affairs, and the party that tries to force its\nassistance will find itself fighting all the various factors in Russia\nand Germany as well.\nKerensky may have made a good many mistakes in the past but\nhe was doubtless right when he said that while Russia required all\nthe assistance we could give, she did not want any intervention.\nThe great danger that confronts the Allies now is that a foolish\nmove on their part may change Russia from being simply of\nnegative value in the war to being an active opponent This is a real\ndanger and some of our editors are doing all in their power to drive\nus into it.

This\nwas before the Colonist was published. There are some things\nhe did whicli in our opinion prove that even he made mistakes. The\nfact that he took three hundred wives on whom to share his affection\nwas one of them, but this in itself makes us quite satisfied that he\nknew very well what he was talking about when be snid: \"A soft\nanswer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.\" He\nhad probably on more than one occasion proved the truth of it.\nWhether this is so or not, we believe he was right, and more than\nthis we believe that no sane man or woman today will question the\nstatement for one instant. And yet thero is hardly a statesman in\nthe world today, and hardly a newspaper in Canada, that is not acting\nas if they considered the proverb quoted as so much buncome.\n\"A soft answer turneth away wrath.\"\nTurn over the fyles of any of the big dailies, either here or in\nthe Old Country, and find out how many soft answers havo been made\nin the last four years.

Something must be done, and the question is: Who will\ndo it and how is it to be accomplished ? The Government at Ottawa,\nbound hand and foot to vested interests and big business, is the last\nsource from which to look for relief. The \"Union\" Government was\nhelped into power largely through the exertions of the very men\nwho are responsible for the present state of affairs. And they were\nassisted\u2014one might almost say whole-heartedly\u2014by the very people\nwho are the greatest sufferers today.\nThe Colonist, in commenting upon the situation, recently stated\nthat the Government would in all probability take over the management of the Patriotic Fund next year I\nWe fail to see how the situation is to be relieved even supposing\nthe Government took it over next week. There is a strong feeling,\nwhich is gaining in support, that nothing short of a scheme whereby\nthq soldier will be paid at a rate at least uniform with that of the\nskilled artisan is what common justice demands. A general income\ntax would have to be imposed to meet the extra outlay involved, but\nwe do not think this would entail extra hardship on those ill able to\nbear it. It would be a means of recovering from the profiteering\nsharks' a part, at least, of their ill-gotten gains. The profiteer mijst\nbe suppressed. He is the greatest friend Germany has at the present\ntime. And he is to be found in Victoria, as elsewhere. Don't forget that!\nA Labor Parliament\nALTHOUGH the Provincial by-election is now almost ancient\nA\\ history, the unique circumstances attending it have served to\nincrease rather than diminish the interest whieh it created.\nIn tbe case of former elections it has been found that the interest\nattaching to them languished rapidly after the declaration of the\nresults. But the return of the soldier candidate in Victoria possesses\na significance the importance of which cannot be. over-estimated,\nhence the sustained interest that is everywhere to be met with.\nMr. Giolma's return by such a handsome majority was not, Ss\nsome suppose, the result of a passing wave of sentiment. True, it is\nthat public sympathy is overwhelmingly with the soldier, but this\narises not from any superficial sentimentality, but from a deeply\nrooted conviction born of experience and observation that the soldiers\nand their dependents have not received, and are not likely to receive,\nthe consideration at the hands of the present Governments to which\nthey are justly entitled.\nAt Mr. Giolma's meeting in the Princess Theatre, one of the\nspeakers rather effectively expressed the general feeling on the matter by stating that the election of the returned soldier would be the\nfirst nail driven into the coffin which-will ultimately contain all that\nis mortal of party politics. If the war has accomplished anything of\nvalue, it has at least served to demonstrate the absolute failure of\nparty political governments in the presence of grave crises, and the\nutter ineptitude of the old-time party politician when called upon to\nhandle a delicate or serious problem. The very structure of the\northodox political party is such as to suppress rather than stimulate\nuseful activity. The evidence in support of the belief that we are on\nthe eve of a complete re-construction of the entire political and parliamentary fabric accumulates daily.\nIn Great Britain the recently issued Labor Manifesto is a proof\nthat there the people are determined upon a more sensible and\nequitable system of government and representation. If what has\nhappened in Victoria may be taken as indicative of the spirit which\nprevails throughout the Dominion, there is ample justification for\nthe belief that the personal of the Provincial and Dominion Parliaments will be vastly different from what they now are. It may be\nsafely be presumed, for example, that the returned soldier element\nwill be much in evidence. This latter possibility has aroused in\nthe minds of some unnecessary misgivings. These regard the advent\nof the returned man into the councils of the nation as a menace that\nwill carry with it a tyranical despotism and will result in general\nblue ruin. These peoples show needless alarm. It would be infinitely\nsafer to entrust the management of the country to men possessing\nthe ideals ancl ability of the newly-elected member for Victoria than\nto those of the rubber stamp species who are nominated by political\nparty conventions, and whose limitations are too apparent to warrant\nrecapitulation.\nThat the forces of Labor must become indissolubly associated\nwith the returned and disbanded soldiers' organizations is a foregone\nconclusion. Their interests are identical. Moreover, the fact cannot be too strongly emphasized that the majority of the men in khaki\nare drawn from the ranks of labor and are still members of labor\norganizations. We would strongly recommend that something in the\nnature of concerted action and a complete understanding as to the\naims of these bodies be achieved without delay. The decision of\nlocal labor to support Mr. Giolma was a laudable step which ought\nto be followed up. The exigencies of the future demand that the\npeople shall be represented, on the councils of the nation in the truest\nsense of the word. At present they are either mis-represented or\nun-represented.\nw=\n. ^ilWA-f'lflfiujiiwCfMMlVf Aw\nIMPORTANT NOTICE TO\nTRADE UNIONISTS\nUNHJ\nore\n\u00bb j The following firms are fair to Organized Labour and\n:fi-M should receive the support of all good Unionists.\niS_a See that your wife places her orders with them :\nJ.
