PACIFISM RUN -MAD.-1
PACIFISM RUN MAD. One cannot help but wish that Ramsey Macdonald, Philip Snowden, and cranks of their peculiar cast of thought, could be transformed from pro-Germans into real Germans for the duration of the war. It would do them good and would not do this country any harm. In fact it would be a decided advantage to the cause we and our Allies are fighting for, because even if they persisted in their frothy fulmina- tions in the interests of Germany they would not be so mischievous as they are now, for they would be placed at their true value. These men were never meant to be Britons, and we could get on very well without them. They are anxious to go to Russia and to Stockholm to air their peculiar and unpatriotic views. Couldn't the Government prevail on them to extend their tour and go to Germany-and stop there ? We prefer their room to their company, but we are very much afraid that we shall not get rid of them so easily, for it is part of the amazing in- consistency of these people that while they malign and injure their native country by treacherous word and act, they do not seem to be able to find a better country to live in. If they wish to retain the privileges of residence in the British Isles they should certainly unltrgo a surgical operation to have the kinks removed from their brains and consult an eyesight specialist with a view to their optical illusions being cured, so that they might have a nroper sense of perspective. The trouble is, however, that they don't want to be cured because the dissemination of unpatriotic and false doctrines is the very salt of their lives, and all that they seem to live for. They know that they are nonentities, and they are anxious to gain some little notoriety. They think the best way to obtain it is by their present campaign of calumny, for there is not, thank goodness, so much competition in that line of business. That we should have to suffer such fools is one of the things that is sent to try us. We could afford to smile at their little futilities and crankinesses were it not for the fact that they are calculated to do great harm to ourselves and our Allies by being regarded in other countries with exaggerated importance. We in this country can place them at their true value, but there are people in other countries who may take them at their own estimation. It is to be feared that they are not only encouraging the enemy, but also doing harm in Russia at a most critical time. Officially it would be a dangerous policy to restrict the freedom of speech of any section of the people, however small and insignificant they may be. Republican Russia might misinterpret such action as being the kind of autocratic attitude they have rebelled against, and we may be sure that the pacifists would do their best to make it bear that construction. To officially prohibit these cranks and pro-Germans from holding meetings or conferences would give other peoples the idea that we attach more importance to the strength and influence of these malicious malcontents than is really the case. Of course it is open to the public to take what action they think best to discourage the holding of any such conferences as that which has just taken place at Leeds. There is much that can be done to curb the activities of these individuals who are doing such an ill-service to our cause at a time when we have reached the top of the hill and are just beginning to go down to the pleasant valley of victory. Most effective of all the Press generally should absolutely ignore the"e anti- British gatherings. To take any notice of their movements and speeches is only to help these people in their quest of notoriety. The Seamen and Firemen's Union are to be congratulated on the prompt action they have taken in disavowing these mischievous pacifists. aid they have resolved as a Union not to permit the passage from this country of any peace delegates who do not pledge themselves in writing to demand I at any peace conference they may attend ample restitution not only to the relatives of British seamen, but the seamen of neutral countries, who have been murdered in the most cold- blooded manner by the crews of the German submarines. The seamen and firemen have experienced the brutalities of the Germans, and it is a pity that Ramsay Macdonald & Co. had not had some of the same bitter experiences. Never once have these crazy pro-Germans denounced the German brutalities and' in- humanities on land and sea and in the air. Not one word have they uttered against the Kaiser and his assasins for their colossal campaign of murder and ravage. The woes of stricken Belgium and Serbia have touched them not. They have no bowels of compassion for all the innocent non-combatants murdered in cold blood. They were not stirred bv the Lusitaiiia crime and the many crimes which have followed. All their sympathy and affection is reserved for Germany. That those of them who are M.P.'s should take £ 400 per 5 ear each from the Ex- chequer and systematically use their energies in the interest of the enemy is a scandal which ought to be stopped. That is the onlv reason why we would like to see a General Election, for their constituents no doubt feel that they have been misrepresented in Parliament long enough. The pacifists, who are so much against war, do not realise that they are largely responsible for the present war. It was their attitude which led Germany to think that she would have a walk over," and it is their attitude which is buoying her up with the hope that she will go unpunished for all her crimes and be free to await a more propitious opportunitv. Who but a blind fool would talk such futile twaddle as peace by negotiation at a time when the greatest Republic in the world thinks it necessary to make war and while the criminal has shown no sign of repentance or amendment ? What guarantee can there be of a permanent peace until that has been brought about ? The creed of the pacifists is that Germany must be treated as though she has done no wrong, or she might feel offended. One could almost wish that a German air raider would drop a bomb or two near these people to wake them to realities. WHAT RUSSIA MEANS. To some people Russia may seem to have modified her war aims considerably, but as we pointed out recently, there is not much fear of any real disagreement among the Allies as to the conditions of peace. 'The no annexation and no contributions manifesto of the Workers' and Soldiers' Council has been taken too literally by some people. On this point it is interesting to note some questions put to the deputies of the Workers' and Soldiers' Council by Messrs. James O'Grady and Will Thorne, who recently visited Russia as representatives of labour. When tiie question was put to the deputies as to whether no annexations involved the re- tention of Alsace-Lorraine by Germany, they declared that it did not. With regard to no contributions or no indemnities," they were asked Would you insist that the Central Powers should be compelled to pay adequate compensation to Belgium, France and Serbia ? the reply was Unquestionably." If the justice of those points is agreed to by the Russian democrats there is not much fear of a difference of opinion as to the general conditions of peace, for we ourselves are not seeking any spoils of war." It is important to remember that Ger- many still occupies some thousands of miles of Russian territory, and Russia will no doubt realise that it will be more satisfactory to force their return to her than to allow Germany either to retain them or hand them back as a sort of graceful concession.
