CONTINUING PEACE DESIRED.
On the question of the peace, man after man says to me that the mistake we made last time was that the peace we made-was neither a generous nor a Carthaginian peace, writes Mr AA 7 . J. Brown, secretary of the English Civil Service Clerical Association, of the views of fellow-passengers in tram and bus. On the whole, they would prefer a generous peace, although many hearts moved by what they have seen of wanton violence and destruction, take the view that the only good German is a dead one, and are for exacting a terrible vengeance on Germany. Generally speaking, however, my passengers are more concerned about the durability of the peace which is to follow the war, and would forgo vengeance, however merited, for the sake of this greater good. Their own lives were broken up by one war, the lives of their sons are being broken up by a second, and what they want above all is the assurance of a stable and continuing peace. .
