We are fighting to-day not only for
ourselves or for Belgium. Not only
for the: honor ~ which we. hold most
deat or our plighted word. We. are
fighting for the millions upon millions
of men whom. we have freed from
slavery, turned into men and called
to school..Germany, with all her
progress and culture has no concept-’
ion of. goverirsment. of her colonies, ex-
cept by armed men. Her long war
against’ Herreros is significant of. the:
want of ‘experience in. colonization...

‘The British race may not he a success

in many. things, but undoubtedly «it
is an extraordinary success at colon-
ization and. spreading freedom over
the world. |

VICTORS ; CANNOT

A “passionate ~ “reader accuses: “the
Mail. and. Empire of not having. ‘read

Norman Angell’s book, ‘The »-Great
THusion.”?. This is a dastardly charge
and must bé refuted “without: ‘delay.
The ground for. the accusation. was ‘a
paragraph which appeared the day the
powers of the world were at) war,
“Norman. Angell, please write.” “Tt
is difficult to prove that.a thing is a
joke; it is only possible to. asseverate
that it was jocwlarly: intended. : ~ The
auther. of the paragraph had no. idea
‘that Norman Angell: would write, and
having read his book and some-of his,
lectures, was of opinion that he had,
asa matter af fact written all that
Was necessary’ “Moreover itis very:

nothing to say about the tremendous
advantage to Europe ard to mankind

of the armament struggle. Roughly
speaking, the people of Europe pay

No Profit For the Victor. °
Angell’s theory is that war is all
not less that: to
the. vanquished. He
the old days war was very profitable
to those who won. If a warrier could
go out and capture an. extra farm, a
couple of slaves, or a herd of cows,
he was obvibusly that much the rich-
er. If modern warfare woud permit
a conquering: country, to put the in-
habitants of the conquered country to
the. sword and ‘seize their possessions
it would be wealthier than — before.
But. this is no longer practicable.
Wealth has become international... — If
