Show MUST BE MADE TO SUFFER. On Mbnday, the members of tho British labor mission will be in Ogden, and speak in the Tabernacle. Hero Is a quotation from Charles Duncan, one of the party: "It will be time enough to talk about peace when those who declared war desire peace. I am one of those who believe that war is hell, and that the people who declare war should be made to smell hell." Commenting on this utterance, one of the local labor leaders presents the following: "Our British visitor put it bluntly, but he put it accurately. Germany be gan the war. Germany has got to want peace before there can be peace. If Germany must be beaten by military might before she can bring herself to want peace, then that is what must bo done. Every American wants peace. Americans have wanted peace always. That is why we were not ready for war. But wo may want peace with all the yearnings of which our souls are capable, without making peace possible pos-sible of attainment one minute before Germany wantsJpeace. The great reason rea-son for this Is that we do not want the peace of slavery, we do not want the peace of subjection, we do not want the peace of dominant Prussian autocracy. We want the peace of freedom, free-dom, and we will have no other. We want tho peace that means life and strength and opportunity for democracy, democ-racy, and w'e will have no other. Whon Germany wants peace there will be plenty of time to talk about peace. Wo will not talk poaco until our liberties are safe." |
