Show THE CRY FOR PEACE THE peace talk is In the air; it cannot be downed. It is sounding behind the rulers who are still urging on the war. The people 'are js talking it and asking if the sacrifices have not , ff been enough, asking what has been gained and Jj why peace cannot be negotiated before the com- 'i ing of utter ruin and despair. Enough men have died, enough loss has been suffered, hearts enough have been broken, and surely innocent children and women enough are starving now to soften the hearts of the most vindicative and make them wish for peace. We cannot but feel that it is time for our country to act, to move in a potential way to enable the neutral nations to join in an appeal for peace. We are told that the president has a plan tip his sleeve. We hope he has. Enough men have been killed, enough hearts have been broken, enough treasure lost. It Is time for reason to come back to earth and for men to cease to be wild beasts. |
