TASKS OF PEACE. FITTING REMEMBRANCE 11 Our democratic world has been saved for us by our fighting men, and we now have the opportunity to work for the ideals for which they fought, and these are beyond price,” said Mr H. P. Jefcoate, addressing # the audience at the Town Hall. “ Let us not forfeit them in preparing our peace. Let us in the contemplated peace remember the price paid on our behalf. If 'these ideals are ever bargained for again, we may be unable to pay the price. So let us address ourselves to the tasks of peace. What more fitting dedication can we offer in remembrance of those in whose honour this day is kept? “ There will be no peace until the people themselves demand it. ' States and nations have no supreme authority, but the people of those States and nations have supreme authority. The people of our world have this last chance. “On this day of dedication let us begin to apply with honest sincerity the age-old principles of truth, selfsacrifice, hard work, vision, unity, and a determined faith to achieve that for which the cream of our manhood died —a lasting world peace.”
