FREEDOM AN ESSENTIAL
PEACE AIMS. ‘ There can be no- peace worth having without freedom,” writes Mr Wickham Steed in the “Contemporary Review.” “Upon us has devolved the stern duty and the high honour of being 1 , the champions «of freedom. If we !be worthy champions the friends of freedom everywhere will rally round us. We may be able to unite them under the Franco-British leadership with the moral support at least of the United States, and to restore hope to a bewildered world. Our strength lies- in the nobility of our cause.
“If we are true to that cause, come what may, its strength will prevail even against Bolshevism; .and a liberated Europe will find the path to creative peace. It is good for the world to be to'ld that we shall not recognise or tolerate the fruits of Hitlerite aggression, and that, when Hitlerism shall have disappeared we shall do our utmost to help a new Germany find for herself a worthy place in a Europe set for peace. In order to make such a Europe we. may have to g’Ve up much of our c'wn national sovereignty as is -necessary to secure effective union with other free nations for lasting peac6.’’
