xxiv. How to Pay for the Wm 



One side or the other must win. A drawn war is a 

 German victory. Dr. Paul Lensch, SociaHst member of 

 the Reichstag, said recently : " Germany will have won 

 the war if she does not lose it ; but England will have lost 

 the war if she does not win it." 



We hope, after this war, to see an improved standard 

 of living and better social conditions. We hope that as all 

 classes have fought and died together in this war, so all 

 classes may join in creating a happier and more contented 

 England. 



How is this possible if Germany threatens us at vital 

 points, forcing us to maintain a large and expensive army 

 at home and corresponding garrisons abroad ? 



Our one chance of a lasting peace is to beat Germany in 

 the field — proving to the German people that with all the 

 world against her on account of her faithlessness and 

 brutalities— Militarism does not pay. 



The above are the War Aims of Germany in a nutshell, 

 as outlined by Lord Denbigh. My readers therefore can 

 fully realize how necessary it is to make " a clean sweep " 

 of the " gang" now terrorizing those under their heel, and 

 if we do not want to suffer even worse horrors than those 

 meted out to Belgium and France, we must not listen 

 to any pacifist arguments, and above all we must cease 

 from tolerating (and with some among us of almost 

 encouraging) those parasites of free democracy, the 

 conscientious objector and non-protector of our women 

 and children, as well as of the Empire as a whole. Their 

 absence in the midst of Germany is a great disadvantage 

 to us, but then, as every one knows, such people cannot 

 batten and fatten on those who are ruled by autocrats as 

 they can and do batten on a democratic social system such 

 as prevails over here.
