foundation of Peace The of Democracy Education on Lines Domestic and Foreign Policy Conclusion i Cunudus Part a spirit of freedom of well being an absence of strife and commotion endless are the phrases used to describe peace but really it cannot be described can only be felt Peace to he real must be Just Even the dictionary dry as it is gives as one definition Peace quiet of conscience and this should be part of every definition of peace Surely in the twentieth century and in Canada it Is not necessary to prove that such a peace is de sirable and something to he worked for Wars glory is no more counted a factor in its favour War brings devastation to the earth bankruptcy to a na tion poverty of men to the world and misery to the hearts of those whom it really affects These tilings are surely riot desirable It being I lowed that peace is de sirable the next step is to find some practical means of promot ing it Before we can have peace we must have a foundation for it The only basis on which interna tional peace can he established is mutual trust and service between nations and above all a one honor within nations honor which makes no mental lions and is Willing to actively support its word The lack of national honor was the downfall of the international laws of the Hague Conferences The finest guarantee of a desire for peace is a reduction of armaments One reason the Allies refused mahys peace offer was thai it gave no promise of a smaller army and navy For peace on a foundation of honor and democ racy the soldiers of France Rus sia and are fighting For such a peace we are hoping and working at home Now is the time for us to prepare for peace France Belgium and our returned soldiers our dead demand it When the is over and peace is secured that is obtained must se cure it that is protect it as sure it There is only one way to do this AH the world cannot pro duce enough statesmen to do it large armies and navies have ap parently failed miserably there now remains democracy Vis count Grey says of peace is not to he merely a sign manual of presidents and sovereigns but it must have behind it the force of national sentiment In our country the working men and wo men have control Members of Parliament stand in fear of their constituencies The thing- that counts is not what the statesman does hut what the people think This war is laid at the door of Gorman warlords hut that is putting the case loo directly The German people are behind the German government No doubt it was the system of German leaders in educating their people for centuries that led to this faith in military men hut with out the support of the German people German warlords would not have pone to war Von and Von violated tho neu trality of Belgium but German cooks ami professors in Berlin approved of their action Ger many had been isolated ami kept selfcentred by her politicians so long that she had lost the power of taking an impartial view of tie matter Here wo see the value of edu cating the people Germany was educated to fight the world must be educated to keep peace Pri vate individuals schools papers books ministers all must start to teach the workers of the world how to keep peace First of all they must learn to know the people of other countries We used to think the German stolid we never dreamed of his quali ties of stubborn endurance We used to think the Frenchman gid dy wo never considered that he possessed the spirit Of the The war has taught us something let go on learning Remember that this education must be universal needs it perhaps most of all Franco was decadent and absorbed in trade thought If she had known and understood the real character of both Soil Which Town STARTED vao Worthless Proved Gold YEARS ABO Few towns have seen as many during the last ninety years When the great Indian patriot Joseph Brant had his headquar ters In Wellington Square now lions she would never have gone Burlington the whole country to war The truth make fronting the lake swarmed with you free A knowledge of the pels would make the working people better able to use their great power For of course the people elect the foreign ministers as well the domestic leaders But while navy bills and equal franchise bills are discussed in every village post office the countrys relations with foreign countries is very little discuss ed An interest in and an un derstanding of foreign policy by the common people of all na tions is absolutely necessary to a and abiding peace No country must be isolated and shut off from intercourse with other nations as Germany and Russia were before the war a country can with a free hand- and conscience advo cate international peace it must have a desire for domestic peace Strikes and rebellions are signs of internal troubles Before a nation has caused these to cease it can well feel incompetent to the greater problem of in ternational peace However there is no reason why tbo two should not progress together A sacrifice of domestic policy to support a foreign policy would be a sign of desire for advance along the line of international peace In The War ami Dem ocracy it is suggested that do mestic and foreign policy are separate bodies both of course responsible to the nation It is suggested in the case of the British Emniro foreign parlia ment and cabinet be composed of representatives of the whole Km- pire Phis policy seems to be considered seriously at the pres ent time and this would be a big step forward Of course world wide peace cannot come at one leap The gradual widening and strengthening Of peace confed eracies is the only natural way for it to come Although we hope this will be the last great war is evident that for years to come there will be petty diffi culties in such regions as Asia and Africa which will mar a per fect peace Because peace can only come by this slow means an interest in and understanding of our neighbors in the world is Era July Nearly five
