LABOUR AND THE WAR.
If any doubt should exist in the minds of tho workers of New Zealand as to the righteousness of the campaign in -which Great Britain is at present engaged, or of the solemn obligations that rest upon the labouring- classes, as upon other sections of tho community, to see the war through to the bitter end, it should bo dispelled by the observations of well-known labour leader, and former agitator, Mr Tom Mann. Writing to a friend in Melbourne, Mr Mann says:—
"I am not attempting anything in the way of agitation to stop the war. I am really of opinion that it ought and must be foug'at out, and the more efficiency shown the better it will be. Not btiug on the battlefield, one cannot have the same stimulus to thought as if ■actually there; but I have repeatedly come in contact with men who have returned from the war. . . Not one of those that I have met, or those I am in regular correspondence with at the front, wish anything done to stop the war, other than to beat the enemy."
